Pendant Lighting Crafted from Plant-Based Leather Alternative | Couro

FDT Bureau

Spanish designer Ceci Ferrero collaborated with Let’s Pause, a natural handmade decor brand, to create distinctive pendant lamps using a leather alternative made from plants. The Couro collection features lamps crafted from couro, a material derived from the dry, waste leaves of American palm trees, known for its translucent appearance that softly diffuses light. Know more about it on FURNITURE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY (FDT).

One standout piece from the collection is the Couro 8 Leafs lamp shade, where the preserved leaf shapes are arranged into an elegant artichoke-like formation. Let’s Pause recommends hanging these pendant lamps individually or in clusters of varying heights, suggesting they would make a striking addition over a dining table or in a hotel entrance. The texture of the leaves, with their compact fibers, evokes aged leather and adds a unique tactile element to the design.

Each lamp shade is supported by a brown aluminium frame and comes with a black plug and a 2.5-meter-long matte black cotton electric cord. Ferrero’s Couro collection stands out for its eco-friendly approach, offering lighting solutions that blend sustainability with visual appeal. These lamps add a touch of natural charm to any space, complementing various interior decor styles and adding a whimsical elegance to both residential and commercial settings.
