Ottine Bamboo Outdoor Lantern - Natural

This woven bamboo lantern stands 50cm tall and measures 24cm across at its widest, a tall rounded form that swells near the base and narrows steadily towards a small neck. Low on one side sits a round opening with its edge bound in wrapped strands, giving you a way to reach inside and letting the glow spill out at ground level. It is made of 100% bamboo in a natural colour, woven in close horizontal rows over upright stakes, so the whole body reads as one continuous basket. At 0.4KG it is easy to lift with one hand and move wherever you want it.

We see it at its best outdoors: on a front step beside the door, on a porch, at the edge of a terrace or next to a garden bench. At 50cm tall it stands up from the ground by itself rather than getting lost among pots, so it works as a floor lantern. The open weave lets light through in a fine pattern of small gaps, while the side opening sends a wider pool of light across the step or path in front of it. It suits anyone who likes a relaxed, natural look, sitting comfortably alongside evergreens in pots, a wicker basket or a simple wooden bench, and it adds welcome height to a group of lower pieces.

The finishing is neat and visible: a wrapped band closes off the neck, another binds the rim of the side opening, and a slim ring sits at the foot. The bamboo varies a little in tone from row to row, which gives the surface a gentle banded look up the whole height of the piece. For styling, we like a pair flanking a front door, or one set among potted evergreens so its tapering outline echoes the trees. The styling props shown are not included.
