Important information about the paper
The paper used in this lamp is a natural, untreated product. Minor
surface flaws are a result of the manufacturing process. The paper
shade is hand-made, by a patented process (requiring up to eight
different treatments) based on a traditional Japanese method of
textile dyeing. The results look superficially similar, but in fact each
shade is unique.
To protect the paper, the following points should be noted:
• Avoid exposure to damp: do not use the lamp in bathrooms,
kitchens or other rooms where condensation may occur.
• Avoid exposure to strong sunlight or draughts.
• Although the paper is a sensitive material, it can, if necessary,
be gently extended. ①
Do not overstretch it, otherwise it will lose its elasticity and
become unable to regain its shape.
• Do not unfold the paper in the "wrong" direction (i.e. against the
crease), as this will damage the fibres. ②
In some cases, the shade takes some time to assume its proper
shape, as the paper has to hang and relax for a while.
Touching the surface may cause shallow dents – these can be
removed by gently pushing them out from the opposite side with
your fingers.
