Bintang Table Lamp Made of Palm Leaf in Elegant Star Shape, Walnut Brown
The Bintang Table Lamp owes its name to the Indonesian word for star and reflects this in its characteristic, ray-like design. The curved leaves made of handcrafted palm leaves gently embrace the delicate light source, reminiscent of a blooming flower or a stylized star.
With its warm, walnut brown hue, the lamp brings a piece of tropical nature into your home – ideal as a highlight on the nightstand, sideboard, or shelf.
Inside, there is a cream-colored globe made from delicate threads. These were artfully wrapped around a balloon coated with glue and removed after drying, resulting in a delicate yet robust light object that produces a pleasant, organic glow.
A natural-colored sisal band at the bottom emphasizes the harmonious connection of materials – palm leaf, wood, and fiber – completing the cohesive design. The handcrafted round wooden base ensures a secure stand and stability.
The Bintang Table Lamp is delivered without electrical components, allowing you to customize it with a light source (max. 25 W) according to your preferences.
The Origin of the Material – Palm Leaves from Bali
Palms are ubiquitous in Bali and a firm part of the local culture. They symbolize tropical life and resilience, providing valuable raw materials for daily life and artisanal work. The leaves of various palm species have been used for generations for roofs, baskets, ritual decorations, and also for artistic light objects.
In craftsmanship, the robust yet flexible palm leaves are carefully selected, dried, and sometimes burned or dyed before being shaped into their final form. The natural texture, which varies from species to species, and the warm radiance make palm leaves an ideal material for lampshades and decorative elements. Each piece carries the essence of Balinese nature and the passion of the artisans within it.

About the Manufacturer
Terang Karya
In the small workshop on the outskirts of Ubud, we are always greeted by Nyoman and his wife Ketut, true masters of their craft. With great skill and patience, they shape palm leaves into unique lights.
Nyoman often shows us how each leaf is carefully selected, dried, and shaped into the desired form. No piece is alike – each palm leaf tells its own story through its distinctive structure.
The small family business impresses with heart and skill. When the evening sun illuminates the open workshop and the warm light of the lamps shines, we enjoy spending time with them over tea. Our Bali experiences become not only brighter through the light but also through the valuable encounter.
Note on Handicraft
Each Bintang Table Lamp is handcrafted in Bali. Small differences in shape, color, or surface are not defects but expressions of true craftsmanship, making each lamp a unique piece.
