Know before you buy
The pendant is designed for easy plug-in installation, meaning it can be hung from a ceiling hook and plugged into a standard wall outlet. If you prefer a cleaner look without a visible cord, a hardwired conversion is also possible.
Because of its origami-inspired geometric structure, the shade filters light to cast intricate, layered shadows on surrounding walls. It provides a soft, ambient glow rather than direct task lighting.
No, this specific fixture is not compatible with dimmer switches. It is designed for standard on-off operation.
The shade is crafted from high-quality Fedrigoni parchment, which is sturdy and retains its folded shape well. However, because it is made of paper, it is strictly for indoor use in dry locations and should be kept away from moisture or high humidity.
The Maya Pendant uses a standard E26 medium base bulb. We recommend using an LED bulb to ensure the fixture remains cool to the touch, which helps preserve the integrity of the paper shade over time.
