As part of their new release of fabrics, Casamance have produced a positively joyful multicoloured weave upholstery weight fabric.

The colours and vibrancy of the Dipping Light form a striking design. When turned on, its many shades of colour filter the light, making a lively surrounding impact. The layers of paint, which were created by repeatedly submerging a lit bulb in paint, moderate the light’s intensity. The Dipping Light is offered as a portable…
