JAPANDIWOVEN
Foam Hollow Shell Pendant
Bubble Shell · Abaca
Foam Hollow imagines a shell pendant as a shallow oval vessel suspended within an abaca rope cradle. Bubble shells would gather along the outer surface in interrupted bands, exposing rope between the pale rounded forms. The lower edge dips gently at the ends, lending the object a quiet directional character. An open center keeps the material composition legible from below. Proposed for an intimate interior, it places the soft irregularity of shell against the linear discipline of rope, without borrowing the language of woven bamboo lighting. Design concept for review. AI-generated image; proposed size and construction require workshop sample approval. Electrical specifications, certification, outdoor suitability and delivery terms are not yet confirmed. Proposed size reference (not a measured JapandiWoven specification): Small: Diameter 18 inches x 16 inches high; Large: Diameter 25 x 17 inches high. This draft uses the small-size price and proposed dimensions; other sizes need a separate quotation.

What does the comparison price represent?
The crossed-out amount is a KOUBOO reference retail price checked on 9 October 2026, not our former selling price. This proposed design is different and is priced US$20 below that reference.
Are the image and specifications final?
No. This is an AI-generated design concept. Reference dimensions, materials and construction require workshop sample approval before launch. Electrical compliance and delivery terms remain unconfirmed.
Is every piece handmade?
Yes. Each piece is hand-woven by artisan households in Guangxi, China, so small variations in tone and weave are normal and expected.
How do I care for it at home?
Dust regularly with a dry brush or cloth, wipe with a lightly damp cloth when needed, and let it air-dry away from radiators and direct sun.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock pieces usually ship within 3-5 business days, with standard delivery following after dispatch.
Can I return it if it does not suit my space?
Yes. Unused pieces in original condition can be returned within the stated returns window — just contact the studio first.
Are the materials natural and sustainable?
Yes. We weave with rattan, bamboo and seagrass on renewable harvest cycles, and ship in zero-plastic, compostable packaging.
