A small light and absolutely indispensable light
Cidea is a charming little lamp with a beautiful, pleasant, and soft warm light.
The lamp is hand-folded and made from a strong, custom-made 3-layer paper. The paper has a fine and light structure that is noticeable when the lamp is on (see closeup photo below). The lamp, like the other lamps from Sonobe Light, has a completely characteristic and unique light pattern which can be seen due to the many folds and layers of paper. In the bright areas of the lamp, you can see through a single layer of paper – in other places through as many as 11 layers.
The cord has a attractive loop so it can easily be hung on a hook or peg on the corner of a bookcase, by a small table or perhaps on the post of the bunk bed in the children’s room – one place today and another place tomorrow. By alternatively tying the loop of the cord, the lamp can also be used as a mini pendant, and you can put several lamps together in a cluster for a cool and unique expression.
The lamp is delivered assembled ready for use with 3m fabric cord, plug and light bulb. The lamp is mounted with a piece of lambskin at the top and is closed at the bottom, from which the lamp can also be opened to change the bulb. The strong paper means that the lamp can be easily opened and closed without breaking the paper. If you want to replace the light source, use LED E14, max 6W.

The lamp was originally designed in connection with an exhibition and a project that gave it the name Light in Life. In the lamp’s first two years, part of the turnover was donated to the organization Mentorbarn. The design is the same today and the lamp has been named Cidea. All Sonobe lamps have names inspired by Danish fossils. Cidea is named after a group of beautiful petrified sea urchins, Cidarids/Cidaris
