Unlike certain idiosyncratically shaped cars or slogan-bearing bags, the casually chic Leran pendant lamp doesn't wear its eco-credentials on its sleeve. But they're there nonetheless. The handwoven shade is made from renewable bamboo and rattan, and while your parents' lawn furniture was probably boiled in diesel, Ikea uses only natural palm oil to soften the fibers. The neutral color ensures that even energy-saving fluorescent bulbs give off a warm glow, so you're saving resources across the board—not that anybody needs to know that.
Ikea Leran pendant lamp with handmade rattan and bamboo shade, $39.99 to $89.99. Available at Ikea stores nationwide, see www.ikea.com for locations and information.
