There are endless ways to make lights from second life materials and objects. And when it comes to eco chic lighting, it seems that paper pulp, cardboard and paper mâché can offer a wealth of opportunities. Paper might seem like the humblest of materials, but as illustrated here, in the right hands it can become something truly elegant, contemporary and magical.

By selecting this meticulously crafted handmade product, you not only honour and support the exceptional African traditional techniques but also you create a brighter future for both the artisans and their families.
