Handwoven Pendant Light – An Ethical Collaboration with Tjanpi Desert Weavers

Discover the beauty and cultural significance of our handwoven pendant lights, created in collaboration with the Tjanpi Desert Weavers—a First Nations social enterprise established by the NPY Women’s Council. Representing over 400 women from 26 remote communities across the NPY region, Tjanpi supports economic independence through the traditional practice of weaving with locally harvested grasses (tjanpi).

Each pendant is part of the exclusive Piti Wiru (meaning “beautiful bowl”) lighting collection, developed in partnership with Koskela. These pieces showcase the vibrancy of Tjanpi weaving, often incorporating bold colour, beads, and feathers—hallmarks of the artists' creative expression.

The Piti Wiru Wall Light belongs to the Wirra Walykumunu series, launched in 2019 as part of Koskela’s Ngalya (Together) collection. This initiative brought together six First Nations art centres to co-create original lighting designs that celebrate ethical Australian design and the richness of Indigenous craftsmanship.

Koskela purchases each completed light directly from the artist, removing financial risk while ensuring fair compensation. Art centres receive a management fee to reflect their vital coordination role, supporting long-term sustainability. Additionally, Koskela donates 1% of all product sales to social impact initiatives with our First Nations partners.

By choosing a Piti Wiru wall light, you are supporting First Nations artists, preserving traditional weaving practices, and investing in handcrafted, ethical, Australian-made design.

Illuminating Stories. Empowering Communities. Designed for Purpose.

Koskela’s Social Impact Lighting collections is groundbreaking collaboration between our design team and First Nations art centres across Australia, transforming traditional weaving practices as well as artist-led contemporary design into modern, functional lighting for both residential and commercial interiors.

Every pendant or wall light is handwoven by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists using locally harvested plant fibres and natural, hand-made dyes. These materials are gathered through labour-intensive processes that maintain cultural practices and support community-led environmental stewardship—from foraging and dyeing, to weaving and finishing.
