Know before you buy
The shade is hand-crafted using a blend of 50% recycled PET plastic bottle strips and 50% locally sourced wicker. This combination creates a durable, textured aesthetic that balances modern sustainability with traditional weaving techniques.
The fixture comes with a 59-inch cable. While you can adjust the installation height by shortening the cable during the mounting process, it is recommended to consult with a professional electrician to ensure the wiring remains secure.
No, this specific model is not dimmable. It is designed for standard on-off operation using the specified E12 or E26 bulb types.
This fixture is dry-rated, making it ideal for interior spaces like kitchens, dining areas, or home offices. It should not be installed in bathrooms or outdoor areas where it may be exposed to moisture or humidity.
The Chimbarongo Single A uses E12 or E26 lampholders and requires a bulb with a maximum wattage of 10W. Because the shade is hand-woven, we recommend using an LED bulb to minimize heat output.
As a made-to-order piece, you will be prompted to select your preferred colors for the recycled PET bottle strips and the cable immediately upon purchase. These selections are finalized at the time of order to begin the artisanal production process.
