Beautiful and totally original, the lanterns and bowls are made of coconut shells, punctured of little holes (the lanterns) or not (the bowls). They are decorated with diverse accessories and pearls of seeds, glass, metal or synthetic.
The coconut shells are cleaned, cut and polished. Little holes are drilled in the shells following diverse patterns for the manufacture of the lanterns. Finally, lanterns and bowls are both either varnished or oiled. Besides, the inner layer of the bowls is sealed with a layer of silicone, preventing water from dripping through the shell.
The manufacturing of a lantern takes 1h30, whereas the processing of a bowl takes 45 minutes of work.
Although each article is unique, it is still possible to order further pieces bearing the same decorations.
