Oorjaa Unveils “Fantastic Fungi” – A Sculptural Light Inspired by Nature’s Poetic Forms

Oorjaa, renowned for its commitment to handcrafted design and material innovation, introduces its latest creation—the Fantastic Fungi Lamp, a striking lighting piece that celebrates the quiet geometry and organic intelligence of nature. Inspired by the mesmerizing architecture of mushrooms, this sculptural lamp translates their delicate contours into a warm, luminous presence for contemporary interiors.

The Fantastic Fungi Lamp captivates with its interplay of form, texture, and light. Crafted from handmade banana fibre paper and reclaimed lantana wood, it features layered curves, hidden folds, and an earthy elegance reminiscent of forest fungi. Its rich, dark-toned external structure contrasts beautifully with the soft amber glow filtering through organically shaped banana fibre accents. The materials heighten the lamp’s tactile appeal—banana fibre paper offers featherlight, rippled translucence, while lantana wood adds depth, grounding, and natural variation.

Measuring 40 × 40 × 100 cm and illuminated by a 12-watt LED strip, the lamp stands as both a functional lighting piece and a sculptural art object. Its cocoon-like silhouette and the unexpected fissures of glowing paper set it apart from conventional lighting, making it an expressive, statement-making addition to curated spaces.
Rooted in Oorjaa’s sustainability-driven ethos, the Fantastic Fungi Lamp champions responsible craftsmanship through the use of reclaimed and biodegradable materials, energy-efficient lighting, and hand-built processes with minimal environmental impact. Thoughtfully designed for versatile placement, it works beautifully as a pendant light in living rooms, lounges, and double-height spaces, or as a standalone accent in entryways, reading nooks, and hospitality environments.
With its evocative form and mindful construction, the Fantastic Fungi Lamp becomes more than a source of illumination—it is a conversation piece that brings nature’s quiet strength indoors, embodying Oorjaa’s belief in design that is honest, ecological, and artfully crafted.

From Soft Glow to Sculptural Drama: Lights That Do More Than Illuminate

Lighting has evolved from a purely functional necessity into one of the most expressive elements of interior design. No longer confined to simply illuminating a space, today’s lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood, enhancing textures, and defining the character of a room. A soft, diffused glow can bring a sense of calm and warmth, while bold, sculptural fixtures introduce drama and become focal points in their own right. Increasingly, lights are being chosen not just for how they perform, but for how they look—on and off. Featuring five distinctive brands, this curation explores lighting designs that balance innovation with craftsmanship and aesthetics with purpose. Each brand brings a unique perspective, whether through refined minimalism, artistic forms, or statement-making silhouettes. Together, they demonstrate how thoughtful lighting can elevate everyday spaces, transforming them into environments that feel layered, intentional, and visually compelling rather than merely well-lit.
