Lightshade Classic Artisan Edition – Balance
Version
New light for your favourite jar: Upgrade programme
For the Unwoven Collection, cotton yarn is wrapped by hand directly around the stainless-steel wire frame — a job of several hours. Colour beside colour, band beside band — and no two shades are alike.
Every Lightshade is made by hand, so each one is unique. Slight colour variations in the pattern are possible.





The story
By day the SOMO charges in the sun, by night it shines through the shade — through shweshwe fabric or cotton wrapped by hand. No cable, no socket. Yesterday's wine bottle becomes tonight's lamp.

Frequently asked questions
The cork base fits almost any bottle neck: old wine bottles, water bottles, slender vases. You simply slip the Lightshade on — no tools, no conversion.
Any SOMO from the 6th generation on (since 2022), in the large Classic size. If you own a 6th-generation Sun Jar Classic (1000 ml), unscrew its SOMO from the lid and use it on the Lightshade. The complete set includes a SOMO.
Swapcover: a cover of South African shweshwe fabric that you pull over the frame and can change any time. Extra covers are sold separately. Unwoven (Artisan Edition): cotton wrapped by hand directly around the stainless-steel wire frame in a process of several hours, fixed to it for good — every piece is unique.
A finished bottle light always takes three things: the frame with its cork base, a cover and the SOMO. The complete set contains the Lightshade and the SOMO. The Lightshade on its own comes without a SOMO — in the Swapcover Collection with one cover of your choice, in the Unwoven Collection with its hand-wrapped shade.
Yes. Once you flip the magnetic bracket set in cactus leather, the SOMO's day/night sensor is active. It sets the brightness by itself — by ambient light and battery level.
