aluminumropecontemporary

Bela is a colorful and versatile lamp with a continuous length of rope in a form referencing the texture and lightness of traditional handwoven lanterns. Every year in India there is a kite festival and the streets are lined with enormous spinning frames wound with colourful kite string.These light wooden structures gave Doshi Levien the idea for the frames or spools onto which the Bela ropes are clipped. It can be placed directly on the floor, suspended or used as a standing lamp.
