Cahaya Garden Lantern: Balinese Stone Cast Lamp with Glass and Pointed Roof, 110 cm
The
Cahaya Garden Lantern brings a piece of tropical elegance to your outdoor space. The name
Cahaya, which means "light" in Indonesian, symbolizes the harmonious interplay of stone and glass. Whether as an attractive decorative element or with individually added lighting – it creates a stylish atmosphere in the garden, on the terrace, or at the entrance.
The design combines traditional
Balinese craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. The artistically designed
Frangipani motifs adorn the robust
stone column, while the
layered glass block creates fascinating light effects. The pointed roof completes the lamp with a nearly temple-like elegance.
Made from
reinforced stone cast and delivered in four individual parts, the
Cahaya Garden Lantern guarantees high stability. Please note that it is
not frost-resistant and should therefore be stored protected in winter. The lamp is delivered
without electricity, allowing you to add lighting according to your preferences.
Balinese Stone Casting Art – Delicate Floral Patterns Handcrafted
Stone processing has a long tradition in Bali. While temple sculptures are usually made from solid natural stone, local artisans use
finely crafted stone cast for decorative objects. This process allows for detailed reliefs and fine ornamentation that preserve the charm of Balinese art.
A particularly common motif is the
Frangipani flower (Balinese "Jepun"), which stands for
beauty, purity, and spiritual renewal. This symbol can be found all over the island – in carvings, ritual objects, and lush gardens. To immortalize the flower in stone, experienced artisans first create detailed model forms.
Then, a mixture of natural stone, sand, and cement is poured into the molds in several layers to achieve a fine yet robust surface. For added stability, the stone cast is
reinforced, meaning it is provided with internal support that prevents cracks and increases durability.
After curing, the
fine hand finishing takes place: contours are refined and unevenness smoothed. Particularly impressive is the combination with
layered glass, which captures the light and creates a magical atmosphere that changes depending on the time of day.
Each piece is unique – shaped by the individual structure of the cast and the meticulous work of Balinese artisans. This combination of tradition and modern design brings tropical sophistication to any garden.
