Frequently Asked Questions

What are the finish options for the PostKrisi 100?

The PostKrisi 100 is available in three finishes: hand-painted white fiberglass, fiberglass lined with silver-colored leaf, and fiberglass lined with gold-colored leaf. Each finish produces a distinctly different quality of light and shadow.

How does the PostKrisi 100's fringed shade affect the light?

The jagged, fringed edges of the fiberglass shade fragment and scatter light as it passes through and around the material, creating layered atmospheric shadows on surrounding surfaces. The effect changes depending on dimmer level and the viewer's position in the room.

Is the PostKrisi 100 dimmable?

Yes. The lamp includes an integrated floor dimmer with a memory last-step function, meaning it returns to the previously set brightness level each time it is switched on.

Who designed the PostKrisi collection?

The PostKrisi collection was conceived by Enzo Catellani, founder of the Italian lighting house Catellani & Smith. Catellani is known for his hands-on approach to craft, and each piece in the collection is assembled by hand at the brand's atelier in Grassobbio, near Bergamo.

What are the light source specifications for the PostKrisi 100?

The PostKrisi 100 uses an interchangeable LED source rated at 2700K color temperature, with an output of 1,120 lumens and a CRI of 80, producing a warm, intimate quality of light consistent with the design's atmospheric intent.
