Bunga Ceiling Lamp Made from Banana Leaves in Dark Brown
The ceiling lamp Bunga resembles a tropical flower stretching towards the sun with its open, blossom-shaped design. The genuine banana leaves with their subtle sheen form gentle, curved waves that give the room a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Each lamp element is created through intricate handcrafting: First, the banana leaves are dried, smoothed, and carefully shaped. Through a special burning process, they acquire their characteristic dark brown color and elegant, organic shape. Inside, a cream-colored light globe provides a pleasant, soft light. Please note that the electrical components are not included and can be added individually.
The Bunga lamp is not just a lighting object but also an expression of Balinese craftsmanship that brings the charm of tropical nature into modern living spaces.
The Significance of Banana Leaves in Bali
Bananas are much more than just a source of fruit in Bali – they symbolically represent life and fertility. The leaves play an important role in daily life and cultural ceremonies. They are used for temple festivals, as natural packaging for food, and as decorative elements.
In handicrafts, the robust leaves are dried, burned, and processed into stable objects. Their natural structure, flexibility, and fine sheen make them the perfect material for lampshades, wall decorations, or baskets. Each piece tells a story of traditional craftsmanship and respectful handling of the island's natural resources.

About the Manufacturer – Terang Karya
In the small workshop on the outskirts of Ubud, we are always warmly welcomed by Nyoman and his wife Ketut – true experts of their craft. With great attention to detail, they transform banana leaves into unique lamps.
Nyoman proudly shows us how each leaf is carefully selected, dried, and shaped into its final form. No two pieces are alike, as each leaf tells its own story through its individual structure.
The family business may be small, but their passion and skill make each piece special. When the evening sun falls into their open workshop and the warm light of the lamps fills the space, we love to spend a moment over a cup of tea – these encounters make our time in Bali unforgettable.
