Sayari Lamp: A Unique Blend of Fire and Moonlight

A Lamp Inspired by Flames and Crafted with Artistry

The Sayari Lamp, designed by Jacqueline Mengi-Amorette LTD, is a one-of-a-kind piece that combines the mesmerizing beauty of fire with the gentle glow of the moon. Crafted with precision and artistry, this lamp is a true testament to the creativity and skill of Tanzanian artisans.

The inspiration behind the Sayari Lamp stems from the captivating allure of fire. Jacqueline Mengi, the visionary designer, sought to create a lamp that mimics the dancing flames, but with a soft and soothing glow reminiscent of the moon. The result is a stunning piece that adds a touch of elegance and warmth to any space.

What sets the Sayari Lamp apart from others is its unique design and craftsmanship. Each piece that forms the flame-like structure is meticulously handcrafted, ensuring that every detail is perfect. The frame of the lamp is made from the exquisite Tanzanian hardwood known as "mninga," adding a touch of natural beauty to the overall design.

The realization of the Sayari Lamp involved the expertise of local artisans who carefully carved each piece of wood. The lamp is delivered disassembled, with each component easily screwed in during the assembly process. This not only ensures the lamp's durability but also allows for easy transportation and installation.

With dimensions of W 59" D 29" H 17", the Sayari Lamp is a statement piece that demands attention. Its African-inspired design, combined with a modern aesthetic, makes it a versatile addition to any interior. Whether used as a floor or table lamp, it exudes a sense of artistry and sophistication.

The Sayari Lamp project began in 2016 and was completed in the same year in Daressalaam, Tanzania. It is proudly exhibited at the Amorette Showroom, showcasing the talent and creativity of Tanzanian designers.

During the design process, extensive research was conducted to achieve the desired effect of a lamp that resembles a work of art with a soft, ambient glow. The varying lengths and placement of the pieces were crucial in capturing the essence of fire and moonlight. Each piece was meticulously hand-carved before being assembled, ensuring the lamp's unique and captivating appearance.

While the production of the Sayari Lamp presented its challenges, the team overcame them with precision and dedication. The goal was to ensure that every piece of the design seamlessly came together, resulting in a cohesive and visually stunning lamp.

The Sayari Lamp is not only a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of Jacqueline Mengi and the Amorette LTD team but also a reflection of their commitment to creating designs that are both functional and artistic. With its unique blend of fire and moonlight, this lamp is a true masterpiece.
