Eangee Banyan Large Floor Lamp, Green - Eco-friendly floor lamp in metal constructed frame and body with shade in fossilized Banyan leaves.
The Banyan tree has a unique root system which grows above ground. It is because of its roots and extensive branches that the banyan is widely used for creating Bansai.
The leaves of the Banyan tree are round in shape with a pointed tip. The sheerness of leaves makes it easier to create patterns and different color hues.
Fossilization is the process of drying leaves over a three to four month period and then hand rubbing the chlorophyll of the leaf so only the leaf's skeleton remains. This is a labor-intensive process and no corrosive chemicals are used. Once the chlorophyll is removed, the leaf is stained in organic dyes. Since the leaves are natural, each one will absorb dye differently. the resulting effect is a lamp with different hues and shades (sometimes within the same leaf).
The frame is constructed from wrought iron, making the lamp very strong and durable; then it's powder coated in order to ensure the longevity of its color.
