Bowl Wood Basket

On a side table or an entryway shelf, this bowl wood basket salt lamp looks like it came from a high-end interiors shop rather than a homeware aisle. The rounded handwoven neem bowl holds loose Khewra salt rocks, and lit from below the glow scatters through the irregular crystal faces.

Neem is a dense, moisture-resistant hardwood with a fine grain and warm brown tone that sits easily alongside the pink of the salt. The chunks are pulled from Pakistan's Khewra mine, the origin of every real salt lamp, and since the bowl is woven by hand its exact curve and shade differ from one to the next.

The details

• Handwoven neem bowl cradling a load of loose Khewra salt chunks
• Fitted E14 15W bulb, its warm amber light around 1800 to 2200 Kelvin, scattered and layered
• Braided flex trailing to a three-pin UK plug, ready to switch on
• Basket roughly 18 to 22 cm across, around 2 to 3 kg loaded

It fits natural, organic and boho rooms especially well, sitting comfortably on a console, a dresser or a hall shelf in a space of about 10 to 15 square metres, and plenty of buyers who already own a carved lamp add this simply because it looks so different. A frequent question is whether the rocks can be rearranged; they can, they lift out freely so you can restack them for a fuller or looser glow.

The rocks sit loose, so in a damp room their exposed faces can bead slightly. Salt takes up moisture from the air; leave the lamp on to dry it and dust the basket with a dry cloth. Don't wet the neem, since the timber is untreated.
