What is the 'cocoon' material?

The 'cocoon' is a special resin that is sprayed over the steel wire structure, creating a unique, matte, and slightly textured surface that diffuses light softly.

While the diffused light is soft, the lamp's design and finish require careful handling. It is best suited for adult living spaces or areas where it can be placed out of reach of young children.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on

Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and functional. Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Test the outlet with another device. Verify the dimmer switch is not in an off-position (if applicable).

Light flickers or is inconsistent

The bulb may be loose or nearing the end of its life. Try replacing the bulb. Ensure the power connection is stable.

Dimmer is not working correctly

Check the bulb compatibility; some LED bulbs may not be fully compatible with certain dimmer types. Ensure the bulb is rated for dimming if using an LED. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Surface finish appears damaged

The 'cocoon' material requires gentle care. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or physical impact. Minor scuffs may be gently buffed with a soft cloth, but significant damage may not be repairable.
