The story behind these paper lampshades
***************************************
Have you heard about Snowpuppe yet? Snowpuppe is a clever snowman living on the Arctic.
He had a huge problem: during the winters on the arctic he was not able to do the things he liked because it was dark all day long.
Friends of his tried to use light bulbs to solve this problem, but their houses melted. Snowpuppe almost lost some good friends because they could not escape from their melting houses.
One day, Santa Claus visited Snowpuppe and gave him some special energy-saving lightbulbs. With these lights Snowpuppe would be able to light his house without having to be afraid of melting.
Snowpuppe tried the lights and could do all the things he wanted: reading a good book, having friends over and watching polar bears. However, he was still not quite happy. On the contrary he was actually quite depressed.
After a while he noticed that the light of his energy-saving lightbulbs were not giving the warm colorful light that he was used to get from the sun.
And that's why he decided to start experimenting with diamonds made out of paper of a lot of different colors.
He thought these would help the energy-saving lightbulbs to give more natural, warm and colorful light. After weeks of experimenting, he called 'Eureka', because he had made special paper diamonds that really made him happy and took him out of his winter depression.
Snowpuppe ended up frosting his whole house with his lampshades and soon got the cosiest home in the arctic.
However, in the end he was still not happy. All the other artic Snowpuppes also wanted his lampshades. He had to work day and night to make these.
Luckily, Nellianna and Kenneth heard about him and decided to help him out.
Look & feel
******************************
This lampshade has a cornered outside and a curved inside.
The curved inside is quite unexpected. Just like the first time you open a chestnut and see that it is very round and curved on the inside.
This lampshade is folded with utmost precision out of special FSC paper of the type Butterfly.
The strong folds and curved folds on the inside play with the light.
Designed by Kenneth and Nellianna
Functionality
******************************
The lamp gives smooth, cozy light. It is very suitable for above the dining table for everyday use or for use in your living room, bedroom or nursery.
The lampshade fits around a standard energy-saving lightbulb.
It is suitable for use as the only source of light in the room.
Dimensions
******************************
The dimensions of this lampshade are:
-18 cm / 7 inch height;
-28 cm / 11 inch diameter.
The dimensions of the textile cord:
- 3 meter / 118 inch length
The length of the cord can be shortened without cutting the cord by using the ceiling cup.
How to clean?
******************************
The lampshades are made of special FSC certified paper of the type Butterfly, which lasts for years and years.
They can be easily cleaned by either using a feather-duster, blowing dust off or by using a vacuum cleaner at low power.
What kind of lightbulb?
******************************
All the lampshades are CE certified in order to comply with the latest European safety standards.
These lampshades are for use with an energy-saving lightbulb or LED lightbulb only.
You can find these in any supermarket.
If you use an energy-saving lightbulb of maximum 11 Watt, then it's completely safe to use our lampshades.
Compared to the lightbulbs that you are probably used to, an energy-saving lightbulb of 11 Watt is the same as an old lightbulb of 60 Watt.
The lampshades are perfect for use with energy-saving lightbulbs because the lampshades make the light warmer, more natural and cosy.
The colored paper has a stunning coloring effect on the light.
Delivery conditions
******************************
All of our models are delivered with a porcelain socket, textile cord of 3 meter length and user manual. They come in a high quality carboard box.
This listing is for 1 lampshade.
We usually ship within 7 days after receiving the payment. See our shop policies for further information.
Installation
******************************
The lampshade is very easy to install. Just get it out of the box and slide it over your energy-saving lightbulb. It will sit perfectly on top of the socket, thanks to the folds on the inside of the lampshade.
Accessories
******************************
If needed we can provide you with additional accessories for this lampshade.
Please ask if you need something extra.

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information, if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
---------------------------------------------------------------
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
- as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
- when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
- if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
- as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to help with proper delivery?
When your order has been shipped, you will receive a tracking ID so you can check the shipping status on the internet.
It is good practice to keep an eye on the tracking info.
We will also do this for you.
If possible we would like to ask you to also provide your telephone number with your order. The mail delivery service can use your phone number in case it is not possible to deliver your order. The mail service can then make a new appointment for delivery.
In case you live in a building that has an entry code for delivery of the mail, please provide us with the entry code of your building.
If your package has not been delivered within 21 days, please contact us. In that case there is possibly a problem with the mail delivery.
Custom and personalised orders
Custom orders welcome! Please contact us and tell us your wishes.
Customizations that we can do are special colors for the cord or lampshade.
If you need a custom lamp for an interior design project, we also offer custom sizes and custom graphic designs to be printed on the lampshade.
Sometimes we even design with different materials than paper.
We generally don't offer lampshades with another folding design than the lamps in our collection, but we are always open for good ideas.
Is the light bulb socket compatible for my country?
Lampshades to Europe come complete with a porcelain E27 socket.
For customers in the US and Canada we supply a cable with a E26 light-bulb socket that is compatible with US standards and is UL listed.
Our standard E27 socket is compatible for all countries, except the United States, Canada, part of South America, part of Japan, Saudi Arabia.
If you are not sure if our socket is compatible with your country, you can choose the option 'without cord set'. This will calculate the costs for the lampshade only.
Also, we are happy to help you out if you need help in finding a nice porcelain socket that's suitable to use in your country.
Can I buy the lampshade without the cord set?
You can choose the option 'without cord set' to get the price for the lampshade without the cord set.
Do the cords have a plug at the end?
Only the Klimoppe wall fixture has a plug at the end of the cord.
For the pendant lamps, the cord needs to be hard-wired to the ceiling. Or you can fit a plug yourself.
Wholesale availability
We also supply to wholesale and interior design projects.
Please contact us if you want to use our products for wholesale or interior design projects.
