Leinani Natural Lantern

Standing at 17.5 inches tall with a 12-inch width, this lantern is substantial enough to serve as a standalone floor accent in an entryway or next to a fireplace. However, its lightweight construction also makes it a striking centerpiece for a large dining table or a console. When styling, consider the "Rule of Three"—pairing this lantern with two smaller decorative objects of varying heights to create a balanced, professional look.

While the lantern provides a soft, inviting glow, the handwoven rattan is a natural material. For maximum safety and to prevent any scorch marks or fire hazards, we strongly recommend using flameless LED candles. LED candles not only mimic the flicker of a real flame but also stay cool to the touch, which is especially important if the lantern is placed on a wooden surface or in a high-traffic area with children or pets.

This lantern features an airy, handwoven design that is perfect for a variety of creative displays. To enhance the natural aesthetic without the heat of a flame, we recommend using battery-operated LED pillars, a strand of warm fairy lights, or even a small potted succulent. For a seasonal touch, you can fill the interior with decorative birch logs or oversized sea shells to lean into its organic, rustic charm.

Yes, some customer assembly is required for this item. This allows the lantern to be packaged more securely during transit, ensuring the delicate handwoven rattan arrives at your home in perfect condition. The process is straightforward and designed to get your new accent piece ready for display in just a few minutes.

Rattan is a naturally durable and flexible material, making it an excellent choice for adding texture to a patio or deck. While this lantern is designed for indoor or outdoor use, its lifespan will be longest in a covered outdoor area like a screened-in porch or lanai. In humid or coastal climates, we recommend bringing the lantern indoors during inclement weather or extreme temperature shifts to maintain the integrity of the handwoven fibers and prevent fading.

To preserve the natural brown finish of the rattan, we suggest regular dusting with a soft, dry brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to reach into the weave. If the lantern requires a deeper clean, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap-and-water solution, being careful not to soak the fibers. Based on our material expertise, avoiding harsh chemicals will help prevent the natural rattan from becoming brittle over time.
