Know before you buy
No, this lamp is not dimmable. It is designed for standard on-off operation.
The lamp has a total height of approximately 34.8 inches when combined. You will need a surface that can accommodate the 20-inch diameter of the shade and the 8-inch diameter of the base.
The ceramic base can be cleaned by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges to preserve the finish of the handcrafted material.
Because each lamp is handcrafted by Olivia Cognet, there will be subtle variations in the ceramic finish and form. These slight differences are intentional and ensure that your piece is a unique work of art.
The Retrofuture Lamp is designed primarily as an accent piece to provide evocative, atmospheric lighting. While it is functional, its light output is best suited for creating ambiance rather than serving as the sole source of illumination in a room.
