Our Casa Chiqui Werregue Table Lamp 25x65cm features a two-piece design with a basket base woven by hand by the Wounaan Indians in Colombia. This handmade basket is woven by hand with a spiral technique in werregue fiber; which is a palm with a thorny trunk that can reach up to 200 meters high. Weaving this fiber is a work of art and through it, various types of products can be produced, with modern designs and figures representative of the Wounaan ethnic group.
