Hourglass | Rattan Table Lamp

Hourglass — Table Lamp

Designed by Bill Parry for Rattanology

A sculptural hourglass silhouette in handwoven pencil reed rattan. Form and light in equal measure.

The Hourglass is a piece of considered restraint — its distinctive silhouette drawn from the mid-century modern tradition, handwoven in premium pencil reed rattan with brass fittings throughout. The woven shade filters light into warm, ambient patterns across a room. Designed in Oxford, UK. Handcrafted by master artisans in the Philippines. It does not perform. It simply is.

The Making

Each Hourglass is handcrafted by master craftspeople in the Philippines using traditional rattan weaving techniques passed down through generations. Natural variations in weave and tone are a mark of its artisan character — no two pieces are exactly alike. Rattan is a fast-growing natural material, harvested without felling the plant, making it one of the most sustainable choices in premium lighting.
