Sustainable Rattan Lace lighting

This collection was developed for Viet Quang, a bamboo and rattan SME in Vietnam through a UNIDO-SPIN project. It features 'lace doilies' made from an indigenous Vietnamese rattan species called ‘garden rattan’. The rattan gets its name from the fact that it is cultivated in homestead gardens and harvesting this rattan does not endanger the forests. It can be sustainably grown, managed, and harvested. Since garden rattan grows in North Vietnam, it is physically closer to the SME, thus making transport cost-effective and ecological as well. This collection showcases the rattan's natural beauty without any bleaching or diesel treatment. Embracing the inherent flexibility of garden rattan, our designs skillfully incorporate the SME's craftsmanship to create intricate 'lace doily' based lighting units that harmoniously blend Eastern and Western cultural influences.
