Onyx Wine Cooler/Hurricane Lamp
Onyx Wine Cooler/Hurricane Lamp
Keep cool this summer with a one-of-a-kind hand crafted onyx wine cooler. Simply put it in the fridge beforehand in order to keep drinks cold, or 20-30mins in the freezer should do the trick. No ice required - so no water wasted either!
As Onyx is translucent, this wine cooler can also act as a wonderful hurricane lamp. Yet another added bonus is that this beautiful item can also be used as a vase when not being used to chill your drinks. Or use it a utensil holder. Or let it rest on your shelf as a decorative item when not in use. Five uses out of one product. Now that's cool.
Artisans hand select the natural onyx stone for it's beauty of colour and grain, then cut and turn it by hand. Hence we see each piece being as unique as the customer interested in it. As such we will always send photographs of a selection of the product to customers either prior to or after an order has been placed for customer selection. We want you to love the raw natural beauty of these pieces as much as we do!

SOCIAL IMPACT
This co-operative was founded by the late Mansoor Ali, who pioneered fair trade practices in Karachi’s stone industry while hiring artisans regardless of religion or ethnicity. The co-operative, then and now, works with underprivileged artisans to continue their traditional craft in stone and shesham wood products. It disperses orders to independently owned and operated onyx workshops that own their own equipment and rent or own their facilities. Most are family businesses employing several family members. Fair wages as well as additional benefits of profit-sharing, pension plans and medical benefits are provided to the artisans.
