The lamp takes a standard E27 bulb, but the listing does not state whether one is included. The maker can confirm — use Chat with the maker on this page.

Will the plug work in my country?

It comes with a black textile-covered cord and a standard European plug, so you may need an adapter or converter depending on where you live.

Is this a one-of-a-kind piece?

Yes, this Cumula lamp is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece from 2022, not part of a numbered edition.

Can I request changes to the design or color?

Yes, this piece can be customized upon request — reach out to the maker directly through Chat with the maker to discuss options.

How long will it take to receive my lamp since it's made to order?

This piece is made to order and usually ships within 1-2 weeks, though it is currently listed as in stock.

What is the lamp made from and how should I care for it?

It's built from painted steel with a hand-crocheted textile outer layer. Specific care instructions aren't listed, so it's best to ask the maker directly.

Can I return this piece if I change my mind?

Made-to-order pieces like this one are excluded from the standard 14-day return policy.

Description

Cumula comes from the Finnish design house AaltoAalto, developed for the Fiskars Design Biennale exhibition Hidden in 2022, which explored the intersection of the senses in design and art. Rather than presenting itself as a straightforward functional object, Cumula plays with expectation: an accumulation of identical arcs that only reveals its purpose as a lamp on closer inspection.

Beneath a soft outer skin, the lamp’s inner materiality stays hidden, so the tactile experience of touching it comes as something of a surprise. A painted steel frame — quietly referencing Bauhaus design — is delicately wrapped in a hand-crocheted outer layer, pairing an industrial structure with a distinctly soft, textile-led craft technique.

The lamp takes a standard E27 lightbulb and comes with a black textile-covered cord and a standard European plug.
