BEFORE BUYING

Orikomi lampshades are shipped mounted in a cardboard box. Each product comes with Instructions and Ethical Statement.

You can buy the cord set from us or use one that you already have. If you have your own standard cord set don't worry, our lampshades will fit perfectly.

The ceiling lamps cord sets are compatible with any electrical system. Table and Wall lamps have an EU plug, so if you live in a country that uses another type of  electrical plugs (for example, Australia or US), you just have to use an adapter.

If you buy one of our cord sets you will have to use an E27 light bulb. The lamp should ONLY be used with an energy saving light bulb (or any similar fixtures with low heat generation like LED). Regarding the light's temperature, we recommend you to use a 2700k or 3000k bulb (warm white). For intensity we recommend 900lm / 15W LED but you can use lamps with more intensity.

Our lampshades allow the light to pass through the paper when the light is on, however light intensity may vary depending on paper colours.

Colours may appear slightly different in photos and on different screens. Unfortunately, we can not control it perfectly when taking the photos.
