In 2013, we began Taiwan-Lantern
to share the traditions
and century-old craftsmanship of Taiwan
Together with Taiwan’s finest local artisans
and Taiwan’s last remaining traditional lantern factory
We embarked on an adventurous journey
to modernize the design
and optimize the quality
of the traditional temple lantern
The lantern frames are made from walnut wood
and locally grown ‘Makino’ bamboo
We believe our traditional bamboo frames..
give our lanterns a heart and soul
Our lanterns use 95% natural materials
many of which are locally sourced
Dyeing fabrics with indigo..
And wild roots from the forests
is one of Taiwan’s century-old traditions
Our artist, grows and harvests her own fresh Indigo plants
