Benboo Lumina ‘Where Bamboo Bends to Illuminate Space’

Category: Interior

Competitions: Home Competition 2025

Benboo Lumina ‘Where Bamboo Bends to Illuminate Space’ Bamboo Lumina is an exquisite collection of handcrafted bamboo lamps that blend natural beauty, craftsmanship and sustainable design. Each piece is handcrafted using the technique of heat application that softens the fibres, enabling the bamboo to bend into distinct, intricate forms. The collection showcases the pliability of bamboo and its potential for developing unique forms. The designs celebrate bamboo as a natural material, artistry, and distinctness of forms. It highlights the immense potential of the natural material around us to illuminate a space. The lamps are an addition to the indoor spaces which brings a natural touch with their soft and warm glow that creates a soothing environment. Benboo Lumina showcases the beauty of the natural and eco-friendly material, bamboo, where each design is handcrafted with minimal energy consumption, ensuring energy efficiency. Each lamp is finished with the application of linseed oil, a natural and non-toxic material that enhances the natural texture and aids in the longevity of the material.
