Henna lamps are a type of lamp made from stretched sheep or goat skin and decorated with dye from the henna plant.

Most Henna Lamps come from Morocco, and their designs are greatly influenced by the customs, styles, and architecture of the region. This unique variety of lighting is sold in several different forms: a floor lamp, a table lamp, or hanging light fixtures are a few common examples. The sheepskin or goatskin used on a henna lamp is dyed before being stretched over the frame of the lamp. Orange, burgundy, gold, purple, and deep blues and reds are among the most common colors used for henna lamps.
The Moroccan Henna Lamps are constructed by extending the skin across the lamp frame, which is usually made of wrought iron or another sturdy material.

A henna lamp is distinctly shaped and is not in the form of a conventional lamp. These lighting units are commonly pyramidal in shape and frequently the upper portion of the pyramid is curved dramatically. They may also be in the shapes of flowers, cones, or even spirals. Given the unique nature of the skin and the original artwork tattooed on it, all Henna Lamps differ slightly from one another.

Modern henna lamps are outfitted with bulbs and electrical cords. Some henna lamps may be intended for candles. With either option, light is diffused by the shade in a burnished glow, creating a moody, romantic ambiance.

Henna lamps can be purchased in an array of styles. Floor models, table models, or fixtures are just some of the available options. Wall sconces can also be fashioned from goat or sheep skin and henna dye, as can globe-shaped lanterns and multi-tiered light fixtures. There are even henna lamp tables, in which the base of the table is a large henna lamp; these can either be standard size tables or the high-top tables typically seen in bars and pubs.
