Sudare Hanging Lampshade Experience

Sudare Hanging Lampshade Experience

Transform the light-filtering tradition of sudare into a contemporary hanging lampshade for your home. At a specialist studio in Kameoka, choose a color palette from dyed bamboo and thread, then work with the artisans to weave a one-of-a-kind lighting piece measuring approximately 35 cm in diameter and 24 cm high.

The experience introduces how natural materials, spacing, and color influence the quality of light. Take the finished lampshade home on the day or arrange shipping for an additional fee. The socket, cord, bulb, and other electrical fittings are not included.
