Mammalampa The Sisters Hand-Painted Canvas Pendant, 16.9 in

A hand-painted canvas drum pendant, 16.9 inches across, in eleven painterly colorways, with your choice of cord color at no extra cost.

The Sisters are made like paintings: each canvas shade is painted by hand with layered color and visible brushstrokes, so the lamp glows like a small abstract landscape when lit. The medium pendant is 16.9" across and 14.6" high, weighs 4.4 lb, and takes one E26 LED bulb up to 50W. It hardwires to a white steel canopy on up to 80" of textile-lined cord, and you choose the cord color, White, Red, Grey or Brown, at no extra cost. Eleven colorways: Intense, Luna, Fog, Twilight, Rain, Dawn, Sunrise, Mist, Noon, Aurora and Blossom.

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 Sisters are where lighting meets painting; mixing two or three colorways over a table creates something no catalog pendant can. 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

Dust the painted canvas regularly with a soft, dry brush or a lint roller; spot-clean only with a barely damp cloth, never soak or scrub it, and keep it away from steam and direct sun, which can fade pigments over time (our advice). Have a licensed electrician install it. Mammalampa lamps carry a 3-year warranty.
