Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shade made from?
It is built from handwoven rattan and wood, chosen for how they hold up to regular handling. The weave is what gives the light its texture. Every unit gets a finishing pass to smooth rough edges.
Why does mine look slightly different?
Natural materials vary, so no two woven shades are identical. That small difference is the mark of a handmade piece rather than a stamped one. Yours is close to the photos and entirely its own.
How do I clean woven rattan?
Run a dry brush or soft cloth over the weave to lift dust. Keep it away from soaking water and harsh cleaners. Cared for that way, the rattan ages into a deeper, richer tone.
Which rooms suit it best?
Vello designed it for the bedroom, hallway, living room and entryway. It gives soft ambient light rather than a hard overhead beam. Hang one by the front door or a pair beside a bed.
Can I put it up myself?
Most people mount it themselves with no special tools. Turn off the power at the breaker, fix the backplate, then connect the sconce. It works with LED or standard bulbs, so you can light it the day it arrives.
