Handwoven Rattan Japandi Pendant Light Fixture

This pendant uses a standard E27 screw-fit bulb, which is the most widely available bulb type in Australia and easy to find at any hardware store including Bunnings. For the best warm ambient glow that complements the natural rattan shade, we recommend an E27 LED globe bulb in the 6W–8W range at a 2700K colour temperature — this produces the warm amber light that filters beautifully through the woven rattan weave and creates the organic shadow patterns that make this pendant so distinctive. Avoid cool white or daylight bulbs above 4000K as they will give the rattan a harsh, cold appearance rather than its natural warm honey tone.

Yes — because each pendant is individually hand-knitted by artisan weavers, there will be subtle natural variations in the weave pattern, texture density, and organic form between individual pieces. This is not a defect but a hallmark of genuine handcrafted quality — no two pendants are entirely identical, which is precisely what gives this light its artisan character and distinguishes it from mass-produced alternatives. The overall shape, size, and colour remain consistent across all pieces.

Natural rattan and wicker are straightforward to maintain. For routine cleaning, use a soft dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any dust from the woven surface — this is best done monthly to prevent dust buildup in the weave gaps. For a deeper clean, lightly dampen a cloth with water and gently wipe the surface, then allow to air dry completely before switching the light back on. Avoid soaking the rattan or using chemical cleaning products as these can dry out and weaken the natural fibres over time. Keep the pendant away from direct moisture — it is designed for indoor dry areas only.
