Mulberry tree bark
The branches of the mulberry shrubs are harvested in the autumn, and the innermost layer of bark (white bark) is stripped from the timber and boiled in a mixture of water and soda ash. The strips are then beaten by hand until they have been well separated.
The diffuser is formed by hand sewing each of the prepared clusters of fiber to a cotton grid, which has been fastened to the base structure.
The colour of the material is a soft white that yellows a little with age. To clean diffusers in this material, we recommend that they be dusted or lightly vacuumed.

MATERIAL INNOVATION
A Journey Through Natural Materials, Craft and Light
For more than two decades, Ango has developed new materials by working with nature rather than against it. Many begin as humble natural resources, while others emerge through ongoing research into renewable and recycled materials. Combined with handcrafted production and carefully developed making techniques, they become contemporary lighting that balances innovation, craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility.
This approach reflects Ango's belief that sustainable luxury is not defined by excess, but by thoughtful materials, enduring quality, and designs made to last.
Every Material Tells a Story
Each material developed by Ango possesses its own character, history, and relationship with light. Explore how these materials are transformed through craftsmanship into sculptural handcrafted lighting.
Material innovation is an ongoing journey rather than a fixed destination. At Ango Lab, Angus Hutcheson and the design team continue to explore how natural materials, craftsmanship and technology can come together to create the next generation of Sculptural Handcrafted Lighting.
