Know before you buy
No, the Fun 1TM Table Lamp does not include a bulb. It uses an E26 socket, allowing you to choose the color temperature and brightness that best suits your space.
The lamp stands 25.6 inches tall and has a diameter of 15.7 inches. Given its size and the delicate nature of the mother-of-pearl discs, it is best placed on a sturdy table or floor area with enough clearance to allow the shells to sway freely.
Yes, the discs are made of natural seashell and are delicate. While they are securely suspended from the chrome frame, they should be handled with care during assembly and cleaning to avoid chipping or breakage.
Because the discs are made of natural shell and hang from metal rings, they may create a soft, gentle clinking sound when moved by air currents. This is a characteristic feature of the design and adds to its dynamic, sensory appeal.
To clean the discs, gently wipe them with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or water, as these can damage the natural finish of the shells.
Yes, the Fun 1TM is designed for versatile placement. Its 86.6-inch cord provides plenty of reach, making it equally effective as a statement piece on a side table or as an accent light placed directly on the floor.
