Know before you buy
Yes, because the fixture is hardwired, we recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it is safely connected to your ceiling junction box.
The pendant arrives flat-packed to reduce its environmental footprint and requires assembly. While it takes some patience to connect the bamboo components, the process is straightforward and comes with clear instructions.
The structure of the Koura is designed to cast distinct, organic shadow patterns on your walls and ceiling. This creates a soft, ambient glow that serves as a decorative feature rather than providing bright, task-oriented illumination.
The Koura ranges from 20 inches to 96 inches in height, so consider the scale of your room carefully. For standard residential ceilings, the smaller sizes (500 or 750) are usually best, while the larger sizes are better suited for high-ceiling entryways or commercial spaces.
Yes, the Koura is crafted from sustainable bamboo and hoop pine, which are durable, high-quality materials. To maintain the finish, keep the fixture in a dry indoor environment and dust it gently with a soft cloth.
