  • ‘Bina’ means ‘Dance’ in Congolese Tshiluba. Tshiluba is one of the languages alongside three other native languages spoken in the DCR.


  • The Bina Lamp serves as a tribute to the enduring spirit and heritage of African women. Crafted from teak with a shade made from banana fiber paper, it ab- stractly celebrates pre-colonial African hairstyles, symbolizing identity and be- auty. Each curve reflects the stories and strength of our female ancestors, woven with pride and reverence. This lamp transcends its functional role, embodying a celebration of womanhood’s complexities and beauty.
