The story
Shweshwe is the fabric South Africa sews its celebrations, workdays and memories from — printed cotton with a long history. In our Fair Trade factory at Victoria Yards it becomes the Unwoven series: Lightshade covers made by hand in a part of Johannesburg where more than 60 percent of young people are out of work. Every cover is a job first and a lamp second. Serenity is the calmest motif of the series — made for the evenings when nothing more needs to happen. Slip it on, light on, breathe out.
