Product Story
3rd Culture's Bassa lamp is inspired by the letter 'AH' of the Bassa alphabet, indigenous to Liberia in West Africa. The handmade steel base is topped with a lampshade made with African wax print. These fabrics, also known as 'Dutch Wax' are the result of a cross-cultural history involving Dutch merchants, Indonesian batique and West African visual culture. Due to the nature and production process of this fabric, every piece is unique and shown image may vary slightly from actual product.
