The Fortune lamp gets its name because of the sturdy bamboo legs as bamboo is a sign of good luck in many Asian cultures. Featuring real cocoa leaves and a simple square design, this lamp is a true show piece and conversation starter. Features fossilized cocoa leaves that are hand-placed on a standard UL lamp backing and then laminated using a non-toxic adhesive, creating each of the four sides of the lamp. The panels are handstitched using renewable abaca rope, onto a powder coated, wrought iron frame to form a square design. The body of the lamp is fastened to and supported by four bamboo poles.

A19 Medium Base Max 13-Watt Type SBCFL or LED We do not recommend incandescent bulbs because the heat from the bulb can discolor the shade over time. Eco-Friendly: We are a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council; a coalition of manufacturers, retailers, and designers dedicated to raising awareness and expanding the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices across the home furnishings industry. Our products are manufactured using materials that are sustainably harvested, safe dyes that are food-based, and water-based finishes. The leaves used in our products are either collected after a tree naturally sheds them or are plucked from a living tree. In either case, the plant isn’t harmed. Additionally, the purchase of the leaves we use provides a secondary income to the framers who grow and care for plants. Fair-Trade: We view ourselves as partners with our manufacturers and continuously exchange ideas on how to improve production, product quality, and the health and well-being of the artisans that work to create the products we sell. We visit our manufacturers on a regular basis to ensure that our core mission is being followed. Our products are produced in the Philippines, a country that is fast growing, and progressive on ensuring workers’ rights. It is also a country where many companies are run by women and their entrepreneurial efforts are encouraged. The artisans who make our pieces are paid a living wage, provided quality housing, have access to continuing education, and work under dignified and safe conditions.
