The wood used in crafting this lamp Acacia koa, commonly known as koa, is a species of flowering tree in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, where it is the second most common tree. The highest populations are on Hawai'i, Maui and O'ahu.
The koa's trunk was used by ancient Hawaiians to build wa'a (dugout outrigger canoes) and papa he'e nalu (surfboards). Only paipo (bodyboards), kiko'o, and alaia surfboards were made from koa, however; olo, the longest surfboards, were made from the lighter and more buoyant wiliwili (Erythrina sandwicensis).
Instead of traditional rice paper, the fabric for the shade is recycled Japanese kimono silk, mounted on plexiglass. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the fabric colors to fade. Use only LED light bulbs to prevent the possibility of heat buildup.
