Mammalampa The Bride Braided Paper Pendant, Large 31.5 in

The grand Bride: 31.5 inches of hand-braided paper and three bulbs, a soft, floating centerpiece for big tables and generous rooms.

The large Bride is the statement size: a hand-braided semi-parchment paper shade 31.5" across and 19.7" high, built over a brass inner frame and lit by three E26 LED bulbs up to 50W each. Even so, it weighs only 7.1 lb, a fraction of a glass or metal chandelier of the same presence. It hangs on up to 80" of textile-lined cord from a white steel canopy, is UL listed, and dims with dimmable LED bulbs. Choose White, Brown, Graphite, Pink, Turquoise or Mint.

About the designer

Ieva Kalēja is Mammalampa’s founder and designer. She starts from the material rather than a preconceived object and describes her approach as intuitive and feminine, sensitive to texture, atmosphere and emotion. Latvian design magazine FOLD reports that Elle Decor named her one of the world’s ten most talented women designers in 2020, and that she chairs the product-design jury of the National Design Award of Latvia in 2026. In 2024 she curated the “Summer” exhibition of design processes at Riga’s Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the large Bride gives the presence of a chandelier with the softness of paper and almost none of the weight. Mammalampa is a family company in Riga, Latvia. Designer Ieva Kalēja started it with her sister after returning from her studies in Milan, and their father became the studio’s technical expert. The name joins “mamma” (origin, care, the human touch) and “lampa” (light), and every lamp is made by hand in Latvia from natural materials such as paper, stone, steel, canvas and crystal, with as little machine work as possible. According to Mammalampa, its lamps have been installed in projects such as Tom Aikens’s Tom’s Kitchen restaurants in London, Marie Burgos Design interiors in Manhattan, the Story27 offices in Los Angeles and the Dome Hotel in Riga.

Buy once: durability and care

The Bride’s shade is hand-braided semi-parchment paper. Mammalampa recommends dusting it with a soft brush, or a vacuum with a very soft brush attachment on low power; never use water, liquid cleaners or abrasives on the paper. Have a licensed electrician install it. Mammalampa lamps carry a 3-year warranty.
