Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shade woven from?
It is made from handwoven rattan and bamboo, chosen for how they hold up to regular handling. The weave is what gives the light its texture overhead. Every shade is finished by hand before it ships.
Where does it hang best?
Vello built it for the dining room, kitchen, living room and entryway. Over a table or an island it becomes a natural gathering point. If your layout changes, it moves with you.
Is the woven shade heavy?
Rattan and bamboo keep it light for its size, which makes hanging simple. It still feels solid rather than flimsy in your hands. That balance is why it suits ordinary ceilings so well.
How do I clean the weave?
Lift dust with a soft brush or a dry cloth across the weave. Keep soaking water and harsh cleaners away from the fibres. Looked after simply, the rattan deepens in tone as it ages.
Can I hang it myself?
Most people fit it without special tools or professional help. Cut the power at the breaker, connect the fitting, then hang the shade. It takes LED or standard bulbs, so you can light it straight away.
