Smaller kerosene lamp in clear glass with a brass coloured burner. One wick included. Lamp oil sold separately.
Kerosene lamps were the most common variety of lamps in Sweden in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Our kerosene lamps are produced with the purpose of adding light sources in places where there is no electricity, such as small boats, cottages and balconies/gardens. However, they are also just pretty to keep on your kitchen table for a cosy feeling. Kerosene lamps are also useful at times of power failure since they allow for a very strong light.
Kerosene lamps are recommended to keep at home, at time of an eventual crisis.

The kerosene lamp must be switched off and cold when filling.
- Remove the burner glass and unscrew the burner. - Fill the lamp with lamp oil, circa 2/3. Use a funnel for minor spills. - Put the burner with wick back and let the wick absorb lamp oil for approx 20-30 minutes. - Light the lamp and adjust the height of the flame with the screw on the side of the burner. - Put back the burner glass.
Please do note that you may have to adjust the burner glass in order to get it straight. When the glass is straight, use the metal clamps on the burner to stabilize it.
To turn off the light: Extinguish the flame by slowly lowering the wick until the flame goes out or blow out the flame.
Shift wick: The old wick is pulled out from the burner from below and the new one is inserted from below and screwed up to the correct height.
Important: The burner glass will be extremely hot when the lamp has been burning for some time. Place the lamp on a flat surface away from flamable material. Make sure to also keep the area above the lamp, about 1 meter, free.
Consider the lamp as a primary light source and not only as decoration. Never leave the lamp unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets. The lamp oil is very toxic to ingest. If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting but contact poison control centre for guidance.
(Please read the inclosed directions for use before using the lamp)

The candleholder Nordic Light has become a design icon thanks to its simplicity and flexibility; unfold the arms and shape it at will. Jonas Grundell has combined smooth wood surfaces and matte varnish with a black iron loop that connects the different parts. When the lights have burnt down one can fold up the candleholder which then takes up a minimum of storage space.
Designed by Jonas Grundell. Jonas has worked with furniture and interior design for private homes since he graduated from the Carl Malmsten Schoolin Stockholm in 1986. His Nordic Light wooden candle holder with four or seven arms has become a classic design icon.

Washing instructions for sheep/lambskins.
In case of lighter soiling:
Vacuum, use a clothes rollar or hand dry after using a sponge and lukewarm water. Shake and air sheep/lambskins regularly for the best luster and shape, and it is better to do this on a day there is damp in the air. Do not subject the sheepskin to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
In the case of coarser soiling:
Skins with a wool length of up to 35mm can be washed in the washing machine. Skins with full length wool should not be washed in the washing machine. Use a mild detergent (wool shampoo) with a ph-value of 3.5 - 5.5, which is free from ensymes, phosphates, peroxides, aliklies and bleaches. Coarser soiling on the skins should be soaked in cold water before washing. Wash in the washing machine and chose the wool program/30 degrees. Always use a lot of water. It is okay to use spin but avoid using the tumble dryer and absolutely no tumble drying with heat. Do not use bleach or conditioner. Sheep/lambskins should be hung up or dried flat in room temperature. Work, (drag and rub) the skin whilst still damp to keep the skin flexable. Do not iron. Sheepskins can even be dry cleaned by a specialist. Do not subject the sheepskin to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
