The Banana Bowl Sconce is inspired by the functional shape of a classic banana leaf bowl - a Southeast Asian design used for a variety of needs. The traditional banana bowl is created by pinning a banana plant leaf into a bowl shape. For this sconce, fossilized cocoa leaves are hand-placed onto a standard UL-listed light shade backing and then laminated. The shade is open at the top and the bottom, allowing light to shine through upward and downward. The ambient lighting diffuses through the cocoa leaf shade.
The cocoa leaf panel is hand-stitched onto a wrought iron frame to form an arched bowl shade. A single abaca rope-wrapped metal stem and a bamboo rod accentuate the top and bottom.
Other lighting fixtures in this style are available, see below.

*Please note that due to the handcrafted nature of production, slight variations in design, shape or coloration of this fixture may be possible.
Love the look and the real leaves (how cool is that!). Look great, shipped quickly, great company.
