Kou is available is residential or commercial configuration: Residential: Single or twin E26 / E27 base.
Commercial: G12 metal halide capsule lamp with ballast (£175 surcharge)
Installation & Assembly Options Just like Kou, every ceiling is different, too. For new installations, we supply fitting kits suitable for attachment to timber, concrete or steel joists. We are also happy to work with existing structural ceiling fixings – for instance, where a chandelier hung previously – and usually make no extra charge to fabricate a mounting system appropriate to extant fixings. It is imperative that the ceiling hooks / eyes are rated to carry at least twice the chandelier's weight. The ceiling rose can be supplied in any colour to match existing lighting and decor, or can be delivered in primer for on-site finishing. The fabric-braided electrical flex can also be supplied in a range of colours and, for a small extra charge, the steel cables can be plastic coated in a variety of finishes. We have a number of recommended installers who travel across the world if you require a fitting service, and are also available to assemble chandeliers in person on site. Please call 01242 692455 for details. The DIY Option For customers located too far from England for designer-installation to be feasible, we are pleased to make Kou available in kit form. Assembly is actually very straightforward and takes less than a day. Everything required to dress your own Kou is provided: high quality braided fabric electrical cable, steel armature, internal fixings, ceiling fixing, and a complete set of spokes, plus spares. Because Kou is essentially an overgrown lampshade, it can be fitted around, or in place of, a standard pendant light fitting, minimising electrical complications. Full instructions are provided. Call Mark on 01242 692455 or email here for details. Maintenance Properly fired bone china is stronger than it looks, but it will fracture or break if struck with sufficient force. The tip of the spoke in particular is thickly cast and surprisingly robust, but a sudden blow could damage the mount and compromise its fixing to the armature. Replacement spokes are available if this happens. However, unless physically battered, the ceramic components will last for millennia. Kou derives its organic textural finish and soft diffusion characteristics from unglazed ceramic’s unique properties. Unlike glazed ware, though, it can mark if touched. Fortunately, cleaning is easy, but must be done carefully so as not to stress individual spokes. Surface blemishes can be removed with a sponge scourer (or white sandpaper if ingrained) and a damp, lint-free cloth. The ceramic components are even dishwasher safe. Kou comes with a free cleaning kit including a long handled white feather duster, FAQs How do you replace the bulb? The bulb assembly hangs independently in the centre of the armature. How much does shipping cost? Shipping in unassembled form to the UK and to EuroStar-connected countries is most economically handled by road freight. Packing and insured delivery within the UK is £175 door-to-door, or £200–500 within the EU. Similarly insured sea or air freight to America and most other worldwide locations, including the middle East and China is in the region of £450–1000. We are also available for on-site assembly.
