HULA LAMPS

Hula lamps are artistic lighting sculptures which capture the beauty and grace of this timeless dance. All our hula lamps are classic bronze sculptures, rendered in smooth, warm, glowing brown patina. Each is a custom work of art that is painstakingly cast, painted and signed and numbered... Unlike easily-produced and cheaper items appealing to a mass market, each hula lamp created by Hula Lamps Hawaii is painstakingly designed, produced and finished over more than a year's time. The key to the beauty of the hula dancers is the hot bronze casting method Charles uses. This hot bronze or foundry casting method has been used for nearly 2000 years, and involves a lengthy, skilled and complex process. Inexpensive cold cast and alternate methods of casting such as resin are often used instead today by other producers to create a "bronze look," rather than real bronze.
