Summer Lights: Playful Rattan Lamps, Sconces, and Pendants by Soane Britain

August 5, 2019

A couple weeks ago, we wrote about Swedish-born interior designer Beata Heuman’s charming London townhouse. (See A Rising Star’s Spirited London Home: ‘Every Room Should Sing!’). One of our favorite pieces in her home was a summery rattan pendant light that felt at once traditional and whimsical.

Turns out it’s from Soane Britain, a furniture and design company founded in 1997 and committed to supporting British hand-crafted production. In 2011, it even acquired England’s last surviving rattan weaving workshop—thus, its impressive collection of rattan wares.

Our favorites are its rattan lamps, pendants, and sconces, expertly made in Soane’s Leicestershire workshop. Have a look.

Above: From the website: “Production starts with the making of a frame using thick canes that are steam bent into shape using wooden jigs. Thinner rattan strands are soaked in water baths to make them pliable before ‘randing’ (the weaving of strands between rattan stakes) and ‘wrapping’ (binding around the cane frames).” The Rattan Hanging Petal Light features a rippled rattan shade.
