Wabi Sabi Silk Pendant Lights

Yes, the shade is made of high-grade natural silk fibers. It features a unique, slightly translucent quality that creates a beautiful, dappled light effect when illuminated.

While the silk is treated for durability, we recommend using these fixtures in dry locations such as living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms to prevent moisture damage.

The fixture features a minimalist metal ring (typically brass or matte black) that provides structural support and a clean, finished edge to the silk shade.

Our fixture is custom-made using 100% natural silk​ and is carefully packed in a protective wooden crate​ for shipping. In contrast, most other sellers use alternative materials like faux silk fabric or Tyvek paper, and typically ship in standard cardboard boxes. The use of genuine silk and the specialized wooden crate ensures premium quality and safe delivery, which accounts for the higher price point.

Thank you for your patience. The extended lead time is due to the artisanal nature of this pendant light. The shade is made using a hand-sprayed silk​ technique — each layer of silk fiber is manually applied to the frame, which is a meticulous, labor-intensive process. After application, the shade must go through multiple rounds of natural air-drying​ to cure properly and achieve its signature soft translucency. Furthermore, to ensure the shade arrives in perfect condition without any dents or deformation, every fixture is packed in a custom wooden crate. The crate's large volume means standard courier services cannot accept it — we can only ship via a sea freight + express delivery​ combination, which naturally extends the overall timeline. If you need the item urgently, we'd be happy to help you switch to a different model​ with a shorter lead time, or change the material to faux silk fabric or Tyvek paper. These alternatives achieve a very similar visual effect, but at a much lower cost​ and with a significantly faster​ production and shipping turnaround.
