roll ins grüne
Hi, and thank you very much, …
Thank you for choosing roll ins grüne and, with it, a small piece of a more climate-friendly future.
roll ins grüne is a plug & light lamp, which means that you can enjoy the lamp’s atmospheric play of light immediately after unpacking it. All you need to do is screw the textile cable with the porcelain socket onto the thread of the integrated LED bulb. To do this, hold the top of the bulb with one hand by reaching into the truncated pyramids. This prevents the bulb from turning as you screw on the porcelain socket with your other hand. You can now place the lamp in your favorite spot in your home and switch it on with the push of a button on the dimmer.
Important information for using the lamp:
Safety Instructions
- The construction of roll ins grüne is made entirely from untreated natural paper. This means, among other things, that the lampshade must not be exposed to intense heat sources or open flames.
- Please use only the integrated LED light source with a maximum power of 8 watts. I cannot accept any liability for the use of other light sources! Thanks to the design of roll ins grüne, the heat generated by the integrated LED bulb can escape, so even when the lamp is operated at full dimming capacity and for extended periods of time, there is no need to worry about heat build-up or possible self-ignition. Please refer to the accompanying box supplied with the LED bulb for the most important technical information. Keep this box for your records in case you need to replace the LED bulb. Please observe your local regulations regarding the environmentally friendly disposal of light sources.
- Please use roll ins grüne only in combination with the supplied textile cable, with or without the integrated dimmer, and the porcelain socket. I have carefully coordinated all of these components with one another through long-term testing. They carry a CE marking, meaning that they comply with the safety regulations of the European Union, and are supplied directly by the manufacturer.
- The natural paper lamp is not suitable for rooms with high humidity or damp areas in the home, such as bathrooms. Window sills are not a problem as a location for the lamp, as the air can circulate freely there.
Care Instructions
- Please protect the natural paper lamp from direct sunlight and UV radiation. Otherwise, the untreated natural colors of the lamp may fade slightly over time.
- If household dust accumulates inside the truncated pyramids of the lampshade after some time, you can easily remove it using a feather duster, a vacuum cleaner on a low suction setting, or a hairdryer set to cold air.
Dimming via a Wall Switch
If you purchased roll ins grüne as a ceiling lamp, including the metal ceiling canopy but without an integrated dimmer in the textile cable, and would still like to enjoy the Dim-to-Warm technology of the high-quality LED bulb, you can find the LED bulb manufacturer’s recommendations for compatible wall-switch dimmers here:
Storage
- Please keep the supplied envelope containing the important information so that you can make full use of all the functions of roll ins grüne whenever needed.
- The shipping box can be folded flat like a moving box by carefully removing the paper adhesive tapes and folding out the bottom of the box. This allows the box to be stored in a space-saving way and reused.
Video-Tutorials
- If elements of the lampshade are damaged they can be repaired and replaced thanks to its special construction. Upon request, I offer a repair kit containing several laser-cut replacement parts. The videos demonstrate every step of the assembly process.
- Once the LED bulb reaches the end of its service life, it can be replaced with an identical new one.
- The Operating the integrated dimmer switch is very easy and allows you to dim the LED bulb continuously.
You can find all video tutorials covering the topics listed above further down on this page.
Modular Origami
This is made possible by its sophisticated construction, which can be understood as a form of modular origami. No adhesive is used for assembly; instead, the design relies entirely on the strength of its interlocking connections. The lampshade consists of 122 individual parts: 12 pentagonal and 20 hexagonal truncated pyramids, plus 90 connecting tabs.
There are only a few simple rules to follow when assembling it: five hexagonal truncated pyramids are arranged around each pentagonal truncated pyramid, and so on. It is important to make sure that two pentagonal truncated pyramids never meet directly. The truncated pyramids are then connected using the connecting tabs. You can find a detailed visual explanation further down this page in a time-lapse video.
Seed Capsule Included
The envelope containing the link to this page also includes a pre-assembled hexagonal polygon filled with plant seeds (sunflower seeds). This little addition is connected to the origin story of roll ins grüne, which you are welcome to explore in more detail on my homepage. Feel free to sow the seeds in any suitable patch of soil and make nature a little more beautiful. Alternatively, birds will also be very happy to enjoy this tasty snack during the colder months.
