Opened in under a minute
Came flat in a slim box and popped into a full sphere by hand. You can see the bamboo ribs through the paper when it is lit, which is exactly what I wanted.

Full dimensions are listed at the end of the Overview on every product page, taken from the finished piece rather than from a drawing. If a measurement matters for your space, write to us and we will check the actual item before it ships.
Care instructions ship with the product and are printed on the care label where there is one. Solid wood wants a damp cloth and an occasional oil; stone should be sealed once a year; wool and linen prefer a cold wash and drying flat.
Shipping is free on every order, with tracking, anywhere in the United States. We do not ship outside the US, so there are no customs charges or import duties on anything you order.
Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days and most orders placed before 2pm ET leave the same day. Typical delivery is 7 to 15 days from dispatch. Tracking arrives by email as soon as the carrier scans the parcel.
Thirty days to return anything unused and in its original packaging, with all fixings included. We cover the return shipping when an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered. If a piece arrives damaged, send a photo of the item and the outer box within 7 days and we ship a replacement without asking for the broken one back.
Lighting
The paper lantern, done properly — real bamboo ribbing, not a printed seam.

The construction
Paper applied by hand over bamboo ribs, the way these have always been made. You can see the ribs through the paper when it is lit — that is how you tell it from the printed-seam version.
What it fixes
A 24 inch paper sphere diffuses in every direction at once, which is the cheapest possible way to make a room with one overhead fixture and no dimmer feel finished.
Good to know
Under a pound, so it hangs from almost anything. Keep it away from steam and dust it with a dry brush. Never a wet cloth.

One harsh bulb in the middle of the room, no dimmer. This softened the whole thing for the price of a takeaway. It weighs almost nothing so the old fitting holds it fine.
Most of our lamps take a standard E26 bulb and ship without one, so you choose the colour temperature rather than living with ours. The socket and the maximum wattage are listed under The details on every page. Anything with integrated LEDs says so and needs no bulb at all.
Yes, on anything with a standard socket, as long as the bulb you fit is a dimmable one. Pieces with integrated LEDs have their own dimming built in and should not be wired to a wall dimmer.
Very little. Floor and table lamps arrive in two or three parts that thread together by hand, no tools. Anything that wires into a ceiling box is marked on the page and should be fitted by an electrician.
Glass and ceramic ship double-boxed. If a piece still arrives broken, send a photo of the item and the outer box within 7 days and we ship a replacement. You do not have to send the broken one back.
