The Mali Lamp by Duchenne Studio is a hand-turned wooden lamp inspired by the ornate silver jewelry of the Tuareg people. Meticulously crafted in Ash timber, each lamp base is shaped and assembled by hand, reflecting Jean Duchenne's expert skills in traditional craftsmanship. The form takes cues from the geometric elegance of adornments worn across North and West Africa. Tuareg silver jewelry carries a lineage of beauty, symbolism, and identity. The Mali Lamp reinterprets these objects of adornment, sculpted in wood, transforming wearable heritage into a functional and evocative object for the home. Available in stained black or natural Ash timber.
The Mali lamp comes as standard with a raffia or linen lampshade. Custom shades available on request. Please email sales@kombi.nyc to specify your choice of lampshade.
