Palm leaves converted into designer objects

Palm leaves converted into designer objects.

At Let’s Pause we appreciate Mother Nature and all her riches, not forgetting our interest in re-using all things that have come to the end of their life span and finding ways of converting them into designer accessories and pieces of furniture. That’s how we look at the leaves of the American palm tree which we collect once the plant’s flowering season is over, in a process that could be described as up-cycling or creative recycling. You will be surprised by what we have been able to do with the palm leaves, our vegetable #leather.

Hanging lamps.

These designer lamps created by Ceci Ferrero are hand worked and explain perfectly our philosophy of transforming natural waste into something entirely new. The leaves of the plant are no longer useful for protecting the plant’s flower and are collected, worked by hand to achieve the #design required, as Ferrero illustrates, with the Couro 1 leaf lamp, a tubular #design from just one leaf, and the Couro 8 Leaves, an evocative shade made from the 8 leaves that suggests an organic floral form.

Wall sconce lamps.

They are a smaller format version of the hanging lamps but perfectly display the unique properties of the palm leaf, its chocolate colour, fibrous texture and hardy nature. The wall sconce model with built-in magnet allows the lamps to be used for different areas of the home; they are ideal for bedrooms and reading areas, for creating intimate, characterful and welcoming corners throughout the house.

… vegetable couro everywhere.

Natural organic #leather has gone to our heads, literally, we’ve come up with a hat using this very same material! The fibres can be moulded and stretched after applying heat and steam, but it has to be done by hand, that’s why we say “couro doesn’t work with machines”.
