Handmade in Spain, by master marquetry artisan Rubén Fabuel, these hexagonal lamp bases bring refined craftsmanship into luxury interior schemes.

Each piece is created entirely by hand using the meticulous art of marquetry — a slow, exacting process that requires patience, precision and a deep understanding of material. Every surface is carefully worked, assembled and finished by hand, allowing the natural pattern, texture and movement of the material to become part of the design.

The final finish is rubbed with beeswax, giving the surface a soft, natural lustre rather than a hard industrial shine. The result is a lamp base with quiet depth, warmth and individuality — suited to boutique hotels, private residences, hospitality suites and considered interior projects where detail matters.

Includes socket, cable, and plug. Lampshade not included.

They are customizable in colour (as it is a natural material, the tones may vary depending on the dye) and pattern.

Each lamp requires approx. 50 hours of marquetry and an estimated lead time of 15 days.

Care Instructions

Straw marquetry is a centuries-old artisanal technique, valued for its natural lustre, precision and delicacy. With thoughtful care, each piece can retain its beauty for many years.

  • Dust gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Keep away from water, steam, damp rooms, and prolonged humidity.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and strong heat, as these may dry or fade the surface.
  • Do not use chemical sprays, alcohol, bleach, abrasive cleaners, or furniture polish.
  • Do not scrub or use rough cloths, as this may damage the marquetry.
  • Wipe marks very gently with a barely damp cloth, then dry immediately.
  • Do not place heavy or sharp objects against the marquetry surface.
  • Natural variation in tone, and hand-cut patterning is part of the character of the piece.
  • To maintain the surface over time, apply a few drops of mineral oil or petroleum jelly to a lint-free cloth and wipe gently across the marquetry. Avoid the edges, as excess moisture or oil may lift the straw fibres.
