Honestly WTF

Calabarte

Posted by on

As an avid lamp collector, I about died when I saw these carved lamps made from dried gourds by Calabarte. Gourds from Senegal are meticulously hand drilled, allowing light to shine through the fine patterns. Absolutely stunning.

    My favorite is the globe. Who wouldn’t want a light-up, gourd globe in their living room? I certainly would!

    Oh my god, these are breathtaking. I had no idea they’d project such detailed patterns on the walls!

    I saw a lamp pinned on a Pinterest board and thought . . . now that is pretty. You cannot believe my amazement when I came over to have a look at your site. Truly incredible and absolutely stunning.

    With thanks and appreciation.
