Installation & care
Installation & care
Hardwired fixtures: we recommend a licensed electrician — most mount to a standard ceiling or wall box, and all mounting hardware is included. Plug-in designs need no wiring at all.
Dimmable models pair with standard TRIAC dimmers (e.g. Lutron, Leviton) — see Specifications.
Care: dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid solvents on brass, stone and fabric finishes.
Questions, answered
Questions, answered
Do I need an electrician?
For hardwired ceiling and wall fixtures we recommend one; plug-in designs simply plug into an outlet.
Can the hanging height be adjusted?
Yes — pendants and chandeliers ship with adjustable rods or cords; the drop is set at installation.
What if it arrives damaged?
We replace damaged or faulty pieces free of charge — photos of the packaging are all we need.
Will the finish match the photos?
Natural materials such as alabaster, travertine and rattan vary piece to piece — the veining and grain are unique to each fixture.

Size and placement
Approximately 28 cm (11 in) across the shade and 47 cm (18.5 in) tall. That footprint sits comfortably on a nightstand, console or low shelf without crowding it. Leave a little clearance around the shade so the paper reads as a full glowing sphere rather than a half-lit one.
Materials
Handmade washi rice paper shade over a wire frame, with a slim black metal tripod base. Because each shade is folded by hand, small variations in the pleating are normal and part of the character.
Care
Dust the paper gently with a dry, soft brush or a hairdryer on a cool, low setting. Avoid water, damp cloths and cleaning sprays on the shade. Wipe the metal base with a dry cloth.
Styling it
Pair it with warm wood, linen and a few quiet ceramics for a japandi look, or let it stand alone as the single soft light source in an otherwise minimal room.
Shipping and returns
Ships fast with tracking, and easy 30 day returns if it is not right for your space.
FAQ
Is the shade real paper? Yes. It is a handmade washi rice paper shade, not a plastic imitation.

Will it work in my country? Select the US, UK, EU or AU plug option at checkout.
Is assembly complicated? No. The shade fits onto the wire tripod frame and is ready to use in a few minutes.

Will it fit your room?
On a side table or nightstand, the shade's bottom edge should land at seated eye level; a lamp about one-third the table's width keeps the proportions right.
The Tiixo standard
Every piece in the collection is chosen for three things: proportion that suits real rooms, honest materials, and the quality of the light itself. If a fixture doesn't clear all three, we don't carry it.
