The Materials
We use natural materials for our lampshades that compliment the organic shapes and sculptural design of our lamps.
At Aqua Creations, we have been using our signature ‘Tusser Silk’ to create our sculptural lampshades for 30 years, which have a rich texture and are incredibly strong.
Our silks are specially woven for us in the South of India, after which they get hand-dyed in one of our carefully curated silk colors.

The Apaya Family exemplifies Aqua Creations’ passion for textile research.
Felt from wool is considered the oldest known textile. We love using this for our lamps, but we also like to innovate; we use 3D Felt in our Apaya Family, for which we blend wool and silk fibers.
We cut and shape our wooden elements using Computer Numerical Control machines, which give us pin-point accuracy. We use two main types of wood: Red Mahogany and American Oak.
We collaborated with origami artist Ilan Garibi to design a unique origami paper lampshade for our Molecules Family. The design features intricate, tessellated molecules. Origami paper perfectly diffuses soft light and is strong enough to hold its intricate shape.
Our cocooning polymer lighting fixtures are made by taking the lamp’s metal or laser-cut wooden structure and spraying it with ‘cocoon’ polymer to create a light diffuser. The result, such as the ToTeM Family, is a soft luminosity that can transform the character of an interior in an instant.
The studio's latest material offering is our raw handmade paper, currently featured on the Raw Mobile Hanging Lights. Natural Mulberry bark fibers are embedded within a traditional Japanese Kozo paper. Eye-catching and intriguing, this translucent cream-colored material creates an organic and warm feel, bringing ambiance to a variety of settings.
