HANDMADE IN RWANDA

Lighting just got way more fun!

Designed by Valeria Fervorari and Andrea Guatta Caldini of Studio Ocra, these versatile lamp pendants can be used in both directions and bring instant visual texture to your room. These pendants can be used as decoration and accent lighting in any room. We recommend a twin set for symmetrical bedside hanging lighting, or hang several pendants over your dining room table for an eclectic and worldly feel. Lighting hardware sold separately.

Made of the highest quality natural fibers in an ethical, fair trade environment. These delicately textured and woven lamp pendants were made by groups of women in intimate communities across rural Rwanda where sisal fibers are wound stitch by stitch around a small sweetgrass bundle. Handwoven by a woman over the course of roughly one week in her home in remote regions of Rwanda.

Meaning & Purpose

Studio Ocra is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Brooklyn, New York. Their aesthetic is characterized by attention to details, with a love for sustainable materials and natural textures. Founders, Valeria and Andrea, have always been fascinated by the craft work of ancient techniques, so partnering to design a collection for KAZI was an easy decision. Their charming KAZI collection is elegant and inspiring. This product was handmade by an artisan in rural Rwanda, over a period of days in her home. The sale of this product means a fair wage and an opportunity to provide for her family where few job opportunities exist. By pairing market access with training and education, KAZI artisans are earning 10x traditional wages and are transforming into well respected business leaders in their communities, helping lead and create a positive future.


No returns on sale items.

Kazi exists to create fair living wages, good working conditions and market access for artisans.  Some might call this “fair trade”, we call it good business. 

We are the first of 5 companies to receive the highly regarded Nest Seal. Every year we undergo an onsite audit in each country and with each cooperative to earn the right to mark our products with this important seal. 

When you see the Nest Seal you have the confidence to know products have been ethically handcrafted in a home or small workshop. This means fair wages are paid, good working conditions are provided, there are no children or forced labor in the workforce, materials are traced and fairly sourced and all aspects of the production and material processes (like dyeing) are in consideration of the environment and safe working environments.
