Hurricane Lamps

Hurricane Lamps

At Kayu Home, we source hurricane lamps that combine practical lighting with durable materials. These pieces have a long history of use, originally designed to protect a flame from wind and movement. Today, they remain a useful addition to the home, offering a soft, steady light source that works across a range of settings.


A well made hurricane lantern relies on solid construction. The frame, often in metal, holds a glass enclosure that shields the flame. This design allows the lamp to function in spaces where airflow would affect an open light. Many of our pieces include brass elements, with each brass lantern chosen for its strength and lasting finish.

Brass develops a natural patina over time, adding depth to the surface without the need for applied treatments. This aligns with our focus on materials that age through use rather than short term styling. The glass used in each hurricane lamp is selected for clarity and thickness, ensuring both safety and consistent light output.

Hurricane Lamps in the Home

Hurricane lamps work well across different areas of the home. They can be placed on a dining table, set along a hallway, or used as a centrepiece in a living room. The enclosed flame makes them more stable than open candles, offering a controlled source of light that is easy to manage.

A storm lantern can also be used outdoors. On a terrace or within a garden setting, it provides light that remains steady in changing weather. This makes it a practical choice for evening use, where both function and atmosphere are required.

The size and shape of each hurricane lantern vary, allowing for flexibility in placement. Smaller designs suit shelves or side tables, while larger lanterns can stand alone as a focal point.

Craftmanship and Sourcing

At Kayu Home, we work with independent makers and small workshops that produce items in limited quantities. This allows for greater attention to detail at each stage of production. Each hurricane lamp is checked for balance, finish, and overall quality before it becomes part of our collection.

Our range includes both newly made designs and older pieces that have been restored for continued use. This reflects our wider approach to sourcing, where antique and vintage items sit alongside contemporary work. The aim is to offer lighting that carries both function and material value.

The use of traditional methods in production ensures that each brass lantern meets practical needs. Joints are secure, glass fittings are stable, and the structure is built for regular handling.

Discover Our Range of Hurricane Lamps and Lanterns

Hurricane lamps are straightforward to use and maintain. The enclosed design reduces exposure to drafts, allowing the flame to burn evenly. This makes them suitable for regular use in both indoor and outdoor settings.

At Kayu Home, we focus on items that support a more sustainable approach to furnishing. Choosing a well made hurricane lantern reduces the need for replacement and encourages long term use.

Our collection of hurricane lamps reflects this thinking. Each storm lantern is selected for its material quality and practical design, offering a reliable source of light that works across different spaces and uses.

If you are looking to add a hurricane lantern or brass lantern to your home, we are always available to help you find a piece that fits your space and requirements.
