Bonbon Shade is designed for HAY by Serbian artist and designer Ana Kraš, created using an original hand-weaving technique that produces textured, individually unique lampshades of considerable tactile and visual richness. Every shade is hand-woven with nylon-wool yarn around a powder-coated steel frame, meaning that each Bonbon has a slightly different surface aesthetic — variations in the woven texture and yarn distribution give every piece a one-of-a-kind quality within the consistent formal identity of the design. The result is a shade that is simultaneously a craft object and a contemporary design product.
The Bonbon is available in several designs and sizes, and can be used as a table lamp, floor lamp, or pendant depending on the chosen cord set — a versatility that extends its applicability across a wide range of domestic and hospitality lighting contexts. The woven nylon-wool surface creates a warm, diffused light quality when illuminated, adding textural depth to the lamp's visual character in both lit and unlit states.
The Bonbon Shade is well suited to residential living rooms, reading areas, and bedroom settings where a handcrafted lamp of distinctive material character and warm light quality is valued. Its artisan production quality and unique surface variation make it particularly appropriate for boutique hospitality environments, design-conscious residential projects, and any setting where a lamp that functions as both a light source and a craft object is the intention.
HAY produces the Bonbon in collaboration with Ana Kraš, maintaining the hand-weaving process that gives each shade its individual character.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
