Though it was highly popular in the during the mid 20th century, jute fell out of favour as a material for several decades. Fortunately for those who are partial to its natural, organic aesthetic, jute is making a comeback in the form of the delightfully contemporary Dream Weaver lamps by Melbourne-based workshop cooperative Pop & Scott.

It takes two days to make each of the lampshades, weaving them by hand using natural fibres so that each one is unique. The Dream Weaver comes in a variety of styles, including the Starbust, Mid Light Weaver, Full Weaver, and Bell Weaver – each of which has several colour options. Their internal supports mean that they can be attached to any pendant style light fitting.

Pop & Scott (named after its founding creative twosome, botanical artist Poppy Lane and furniture maker Scott Gibson) recently opened its first public showroom in a converted space in the Melbourne suburb of Northcote.
