Description
Ottine is a round bamboo lantern shaped like an old storage pot: a full, rounded body that narrows to a short, flared collar at the top. It is woven from 100% bamboo in Natural, with slim horizontal strips worked round upright ribs. A round opening sits low on one side, framed by a braided border. Light from a candle inside passes through that opening and through the gaps in the weave, so the glow comes out in soft lines rather than one bright pool. It measures 25cm across and 26cm tall and weighs 0.3KG, light enough to carry from the table to the doorstep.
This is an outdoor lantern, made for the places where summer evenings are spent: a terrace table, the gravel beside a garden bench, the edge of a path or the step by the front door. It has no handle, so it is a lantern to stand rather than hang, at home on the ground or on a low table. It suits anyone drawn to natural materials and a relaxed, rustic look, and it is just as welcome on a sheltered porch through the winter. Indoors it sits well on a console table, a deep windowsill or a sideboard, wherever you want candlelight at a low level.
Bamboo is a natural material, so its tone varies from strip to strip, and you can see that variation running through the weave in faint bands. The collar at the top is finished with a loosely woven edge, the border round the side opening is bound with crossing strips, and a slim bamboo hoop runs round the base for it to stand on. For a simple arrangement, space a few along a path, or stand one on an upturned crate beside a bench with a wool throw and cushions for a cosy spot outdoors. The styling props shown are not included.
