Polish artist known as Calabarte makes amazing table lamps out of hollowed and dried skin of the gourd fruit.
Wonderful patterns and designs intricately carved into the deeper layers of the shell allow the light to pass through. Because the shape of the fruit is determined by nature, each lamp is unique and one of a kind.

These are amazing! I just think it’s a little ominous and creepy to use inside a house. I can see how this can be used as a decorating element, but as a light it only works to provide ambience. Depending on how many holes there are and how big they are the brightness can vary.

I feel they are somehow inspired by the indigenous art of Australia. They are like an alien seed…
