Kelapa Garden Lantern: Three-part stone cast design with frangipani sphere, 65 cm The Kelapa garden lantern made of durable, reinforced cast stone is much more than just a source of light – it adds an elegant decorative accent to your garden. The name Kelapa, the Indonesian word for coconut, reflects the harmoniously round shape of the artistically designed sphere lantern. The artistic frangipani relief (in Balinese "Jepun") gives the lantern a delicate lightness, while the robust base ensures stability. The distinctive stepped roof resembles a traditional temple hat and completes the exotic design – as if the lantern were a small artwork that brings Balinese flair to your outdoor area. The lantern consists of three separate parts: ✔ A secure base ✔ A spherical lamp body with intricate frangipani decorations ✔ A decorative, stepped roof reminiscent of a temple hat Made from reinforced cast stone, the lantern impresses with its high resistance. Please note that it is not frost-resistant and should be protected during the cold season. Delivery is without electrical components, allowing you to customize the lighting. Balinese stone casting art with floral ornaments – Tradition meets elegance Stone processing in Bali has a long history. While temple statues are typically made from solid natural stone, artisans use the technique of stone casting for decorative objects like this lantern. This technique allows for the creation of fine and intricate patterns that authentically represent the beauty of Balinese ornaments. The frangipani motif (Balinese "Jepun") is particularly popular and symbolizes beauty, purity, and spiritual renewal. The artistic reliefs are shaped by experienced craftsmen and then cast with a mixture of natural stone, sand, and cement – often in multiple layers to achieve a smooth surface. The internal reinforcement (armoring) makes the material durable and resistant to cracks. After hardening, careful hand finishing takes place, where details are refined and unevenness is smoothed out. Some designs also include layered glass, which captures the light in a special way and creates a cozy atmosphere. Each piece is unique, shaped by the individual structure of the casting and the meticulous work of Balinese artisans. This results in a decorative artwork that brings tropical elegance to your garden.
