Moroccan Raffia suspension in flower shape

Raffia lamps and hanging lamps direct from Morocco. 

Moroccan raffia lamps are handmade in Morocco from raffia fibers, a plant native to Africa. They are often used as hanging or table lamps, and are much appreciated for their natural beauty and unique craftsmanship.

They are often used to add a touch of warmth and character to an interior space, whether in a traditional home or a modern setting.

They can be hung from the ceiling or placed on a table or cabinet to illuminate a specific area. Raffia lamps can also be used as decorative lanterns to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in a room.

Moroccan raffia lamps are often associated with a bohemian decorating style, but they can also be integrated into other decorating styles. If you want to add a touch of exoticism and texture to your interior design, a Moroccan raffia lamp could be just the thing.

The process of making a Moroccan raffia lamp may vary from craftsman to craftswoman, but here are the general steps 

1. Collecting and preparing raffia fibers: The raffia fibers are collected and prepared by cleaning them and leaving them to dry in the sun.

2. Fiber dyeing: The raffia fibers are then dyed in natural color baths based on plants or synthetic pigments. Traditional colors for Moroccan raffia lamps include red, blue, green and yellow.

3. Fiber weaving: The raffia fibers are then hand-woven to create geometric patterns and intricate designs. Artisans use special weaving techniques to give shape to the lamp.

4. Lamp assembly: Once the weaving is complete, the craftsmen assemble the lamp, adding a metal structure to support it and a lighting system to diffuse the light.
