Product Information

Full details

The Flos Maap Wall Light in White is designed for individuals seeking to create a unique, ambient atmosphere in their living spaces or hallways. Its key benefit is its ability to transform a wall into a soft, luminous presence rather than a distinct object, offering a diffused, daylight-like glow. A potential caveat is that its irregular, hand-shaped form means no two installations are identical, requiring an appreciation for organic design. This light fixture features a minimal structure with a lightweight, durable Tyvek surface attached to a metal frame, shaped by hand into an organic, irregular form that provides atmospheric, even illumination.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How is the shape of the Maap Wall Light created?

The light features a lightweight Tyvek surface fixed to a metal frame using magnetic points. The irregular form is achieved by shaping the Tyvek material by hand after installation.

Will my Maap Wall Light look exactly like the pictures?

No, due to the hand-shaped nature of the Tyvek surface, each installation is unique and will have its own distinct organic form. Dimensions may also vary slightly.

What type of light bulb does it use?

Please refer to the product's technical specifications or the included manual for specific bulb type and wattage information, as this can vary.

Is the Tyvek material difficult to clean?

The Tyvek material has a durable, paper-like quality. It can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

Can this light be used outdoors?

The Flos Maap Wall Light is designed for indoor use only in dry environments.

What are the approximate dimensions of the light?

The total size is approximately 155 x 155 cm, with a thickness of 22 cm. However, these dimensions may vary slightly depending on the final shaped form.

Does the light come with the necessary mounting hardware?

Typically, mounting hardware is included, but it is best to check the product packaging or manual for confirmation. Professional installation is recommended for secure mounting.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the light is properly connected to the power source. Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify that the bulb (if applicable) is correctly installed and functional.

Uneven light distribution

Gently reshape the Tyvek surface to ensure it is uniformly positioned around the frame. Check for any obstructions or creases that might be blocking light in certain areas.

Tyvek material appears creased or misshapen

This is an intended design feature contributing to its unique form. If the shape is not to your liking, carefully try to reshape it by hand. Avoid excessive force. For persistent issues, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional.

Magnetic points are not holding the surface

Ensure the magnetic points on the frame and the surface are clean and free of debris. Check that the Tyvek surface is aligned correctly with the frame's magnetic points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Maap Wall Light is designed with a minimal metal frame to which the Tyvek surface is attached using magnetic points. Installation involves fixing the frame to the wall. Once the frame is secured, the Tyvek material is carefully shaped by hand into its desired irregular form. The dimensions may vary slightly depending on how the material is manipulated.

Compatibility: This fixture is designed for indoor use in dry environments. Ensure your wall can support the weight of the fixture. Electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician.

Care: The Tyvek surface has a paper-like texture but is durable. To clean, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this could damage the material or affect its form and appearance. Dust can be gently removed with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner on a low setting.
