Where Light Meets Heritage

At AfroLamps, we believe a lamp should do more than light a room, it should spark connection, culture, and conversation. Founded in South Africa, AfroLamps was born from a desire to bring the warmth of African heritage into modern homes. Our lamps are handcrafted with care: from the smooth wooden bases carved by local artisans, to the bold, vibrant shades inspired by traditional attire worn across the continent. Each piece tells a story. Whether it’s the geometric elegance of a Xhosa pattern, the joyous colours of a Tsonga celebration, the deep earth tones of Venda tradition, or the warm homestead charm of Afrikaner heritage, AfroLamps celebrates Africa’s richness, resilience, and rhythm.

Made in South Africa. Loved around the world

We’re proud to shine a light on African design, one handcrafted lamp at a time.
Every lamp begins with a story and ends with soul. Our artisans don't just craft lighting, they carve legacy from wood, stitch memory into fabric, and shape tradition into something you can touch. It's the difference between buying a lamp and bringing home a piece of heritage that glows.

From Johannesburg workshops to your living room, each AfroLamps creation travels with intention. We work directly with local artisans, honouring traditional techniques while creating contemporary designs that fit modern spaces. When you choose AfroLamps, you're not just decorating, you're preserving craftsmanship and supporting communities.

Sustainably sourced wood. Ethically partnered fabrics. Hands that know their craft. We build our lamps the way heritage should be honoured, with respect for the earth, the maker, and the story being told. Because true beauty doesn't come at the cost of what matters.
