STONESETS Beads Lamp Chandelier

References the history of beads from Kalinga and pre-colonial Philippines to trade beads that connected the country to Africa where the use of hair jewelry is a beauty practice that long predates our current interpretations, dating from ancient Egypt. The 70’s brought about a renewal in the embracing of African aesthetics, brought us disco and Cher’s iconic bangs as a throwback to the 20’s Flapper era and gave us Manila jeepneys adorned with beaded curtains and driver seats. A playful nod to these plethora of sources and eras. Handmade with wooden beads.
