There is a quiet distinction to our lighting—one that begins with the origin of our material. We use Banaca, a woven textile crafted from the fibers of the banana-abaca plant, cultivated sustainably by farmers on a remote island in the Philippines. This fabric is not only remarkably durable and malleable; it carries with it a legacy of land, labor, and cultural continuity.
When the plants reach maturity, local farmers harvest the trunks by hand, extract the fibers, and bring them to their communities. There, skilled weavers—using time-honored techniques passed down through generations—transform the raw strands into a beautifully tactile fabric.
At the studio, we see our work as a response to the intersection of three essential needs: the preservation of cultural heritage, the support of sustainable livelihoods, and the growing desire for ethically made, contemporary design. By honoring ancestral methods and reimagining them through a modern lens, we elevate Banaca into sculptural lighting pieces that are as meaningful as they are refined.
Each piece is a quiet celebration of tradition, material, and form—inviting light not only into a space, but into the story behind it.
