Oval Bordo-Black Mesh Lampshade is a handcrafted piece from Indonesia that gives metal an unexpectedly soft and fluid character. At only 20 cm high and 70 cm in diameter, the design creates a distinctive low, wide silhouette with freely undulating edges. Several layers of fine mesh appear to float over one another, giving the entire form a remarkable sense of movement.
One of the most distinctive features of Oval Bordo-Black is the combination of contrasting tones within the metal mesh. The upper section has a deep burgundy-brown shade with warm copper undertones, while the lower layer appears lighter with a silver-graphite character. Where the layers overlap, the tones visually interact, making the surface look different as the light and viewing angle change.
Viewed up close, the craftsmanship becomes even more apparent. Fine metal is formed into countless small loops connected into a flexible, semi-transparent mesh. Instead of being stretched over a rigid geometric structure, the material is allowed to create soft dips, raised areas and irregular edges. Metal, normally perceived as hard and structural, takes on an almost textile-like quality.
Oval Bordo-Black also works beautifully with light. The open weave allows illumination to pass through several layers of mesh, revealing subtle differences in density and creating delicate shadows. Despite its generous 70 cm diameter, the lampshade remains visually light and does not create a heavy solid volume overhead.
Its low and wide proportions make the design particularly interesting for contemporary interiors. It can create a strong horizontal accent above a dining table, in a living room, open-plan kitchen or lounge area. The layered two-tone mesh pairs beautifully with natural wood, stone, concrete, textured plaster, dark furniture and restrained earthy palettes.
Oval Bordo-Black feels at home in contemporary, organic modern, wabi-sabi and modern boho interiors. Its character comes from the construction itself - the unusual treatment of metal, overlapping mesh, nuanced colour and intentionally free-flowing silhouette.
The lampshade is handcrafted in Indonesia. Slight variations in the curves, waves and tension of the mesh are natural characteristics of the handmade process.
