Product Information

Full details

The Kartell Light Air Transparent Table Lamp in Yellow is designed for individuals seeking to add a modern, artistic, and slightly whimsical touch to their home decor. Its key benefit is the unique 'illusionist' design, creating a floating shade effect that sparks conversation and enhances ambiance. A potential caveat is its relatively compact size, making it best suited for accent lighting rather than primary illumination. This lamp features a thermoplastic construction with a transparent shade and a contrasting opaque base, designed by Eugeni Quitllet to appear gravity-defying.

FAQs

What type of light bulb does the Kartell Light Air lamp use?

The Kartell Light Air lamp typically uses a standard screw-in type bulb. Please refer to the product's specific documentation or packaging for the recommended bulb type and maximum wattage to ensure safe and optimal performance.

How do I clean the transparent shade without damaging it?

Clean the transparent thermoplastic shade using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can scratch or degrade the plastic material.

Is the 'floating' effect achieved through wires?

No, the 'illusionist' design is achieved through the lamp's structural engineering, where the shade is precisely balanced and attached to the base in a way that creates the visual perception of it floating independently.

What are the dimensions of the lamp?

The Kartell Light Air Transparent Table Lamp measures approximately H32 x W16.5 x D7 cm.

Does the yellow color fade over time?

Kartell products are generally made with high-quality plastics designed for durability. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh environmental conditions might affect the color over extended periods. It's best to keep it out of direct, intense sunlight.

Can this lamp be used as a primary light source for a room?

Due to its design and the nature of accent lighting, the Kartell Light Air lamp is best suited for providing ambient or decorative light. It is generally not intended to be the sole or primary light source for a room, especially larger spaces.

What other color options are available for the Light Air table lamp?

While this guide focuses on the Yellow Transparent model, Kartell often offers the Light Air lamp in other color variations, such as White. Please check with authorized retailers for available options.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet and the lamp. Ensure the light bulb is correctly screwed in and is not burnt out. Test with a different, known-working bulb.

Flickering light

This could be due to a loose bulb connection or an issue with the bulb itself. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new one. If the problem persists, check the power cord and outlet.

Shade appears unstable

Ensure the shade is correctly seated on its support or frame. Check for any obstructions preventing it from aligning properly. Do not force the shade; if it feels loose, re-examine the attachment mechanism.

Base is wobbly

Make sure the lamp is placed on a level and stable surface. Check if any part of the base is damaged. If the wobble persists, it might indicate a manufacturing defect.
