Bromo pendant light with a bamboo lampshade Bromo is a pendant light from the Dutch brand Good & Mojo, which is committed to selling sustainable, high-quality lighting whilst making a positive difference. The lampshade is made from bamboo, a sustainable material. The bamboo lampshades are crafted using traditional techniques in small villages in Vietnam.
It takes between 3 and 6 hours to make a lampshade, and each one is unique. Bamboo is characterised by its versatility and is a core material for the Good & Mojo brand. Bamboo grows very quickly – up to one metre a day – and can be harvested in 3 to 5 years.
Once cut, new shoots continually grow back from the roots. Bamboo also produces 35 per cent more oxygen than a tree. It is cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilisers.
The pendant light looks particularly decorative when fitted with a filament LED bulb, perhaps even in a globe shape. The open shade design, with its many gaps, creates unique effects of light and shadow. The Good & Mojo range consists of sustainable lights and is guided by the motto: “When you buy light, you give light.” This is achieved through collaboration with charitable foundations such as the WakaWaka Foundation, which uses donations to provide solar products to people living off the grid.
Since 2019, the Good & Mojo brand has also been supporting the Eden Project. For every light sold, a tree is planted – to date, over 150,000 trees have been planted through this initiative.
