Frequently Asked Questions

What shade finishes are available for the PostKrisi wall lamp?

The PostKrisi is offered with a hand-painted white fiberglass shade or fiberglass lined with silver-colored or gold-colored leaf. Each finish interacts differently with the 2700K LED source, producing distinct atmospheric effects on surrounding surfaces.

What is the difference between PostKrisi 21 and PostKrisi 40?

The numbers refer to the diameter of the shade in centimeters. PostKrisi 21 is suited to more intimate settings such as corridors or beside tables, while PostKrisi 40 reads as a stronger sculptural statement in living spaces or larger rooms.

Is the PostKrisi wall lamp dimmable?

The standard version ships with a non-dimmable constant current driver. A DALI dimmable version is available on request, making it compatible with professional lighting control systems used in architectural and hospitality projects.

Who is Enzo Catellani and where is his work produced?

Enzo Catellani founded Catellani & Smith in Grassobbio, near Bergamo, in 1989. The atelier produces each piece in Italy, with Catellani personally overseeing design and craft processes that often involve hand-applied finishes and made-to-order production.

What wall applications suit the PostKrisi best?

Its directional form and warm color temperature make it well suited to bedrooms, corridor walls, and living spaces where diffused, atmospheric light is preferred over broad ambient coverage. The fringed edge casts shadow patterns that animate adjacent wall surfaces.
