A worker putting finishing touches on a "Harvest Basket" Lamp, which can hold a live plant on top (bushy ferns look the best!)

Located in the mountains of Antipolo, overlooking Manila, Philippines. The paper is made from Abaca, which is known to be one of the strongest fibers in the world. Their papermaking process is environmentally friendly, and aside from offering jobs to the community, it also provides much needed WATER from their deepwell.
