Know before you buy
No, the fixture is shipped as a flat-packed kitset to reduce its environmental footprint. It is designed for easy assembly, allowing you to put the bamboo components together yourself upon arrival.
The Kina Pendant uses an E26 base and supports a bulb with a maximum wattage of 100W. We recommend using an LED bulb to maintain the warm, ambient glow while keeping energy consumption low.
The Kina is crafted from sustainable bamboo plywood, which is a natural material. It is best suited for dry, interior living spaces like dining rooms, entryways, or bedrooms rather than high-humidity areas.
Because of the intricate design, the best way to maintain the fixture is to gently dust it with a soft cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the bamboo plywood.
Yes, the fixture is hardwired and can be installed on a sloped ceiling, provided your junction box is compatible. You may need to ensure the suspension cable is adjusted correctly to keep the pendant level.
The white exterior reflects light outward, while the natural bamboo interior warms the light as it passes through the gaps in the structure. This combination creates a soft, diffused glow that casts beautiful, organic shadows across your walls.
