The elastic honeycomb geometry of urchin will morph through a multitude of forms as you
gently rotate it through and around its own center with your hands. You can even undo the
magnetic panels and turn the urchin shade inside out to create straight walled cylinders and
conical forms!

use + care

set up preparing steel armature and opening shade

Intended for indoor/dry use only

Surface of LED disc can be hot to touch
Do not rebend the LED armature multiple times as this will fatigue the steel.
Handling the softlight on a clean horizontal surface, with clean hands will keep the white
textile material looking its best.
The white textile material of the honeycomb structure is non woven polyethylene and you
can clean it gently with mild soap and water and a non abrasive cloth. Abrasive cleaners
could lift the fine fibre of the textile. Leave urchin in open shape to dry. Never clean the
honeycomb structure while in use with the electrical component.
Dusting periodically with a synthetic duster or compressed air canister is recommended.

Bend armature upwards from base until the top circle is horizontal / parallel to the base circle.

The honeycomb structure of the urchin softlight is intended to expand, contract and flex
in an elastic way so that you can transform the shape into multiple variations of the form.
We would never want to discourage curiosity and play but it should be done with a level
of gentle care. The urchin will loose some of its elastic tension with excessive stretching
and movement of the honeycomb structure. You can regain some of this tension and
shape memory by compressing the urchin into its flattened form and allowing it to rest
horizontally for a few days or more.
The LED provided has a 30,000 hours +/- lifespan. At the end of this long life a new LED
can be attached, the attachment point is magnetic.

The honeycomb structure of urchin fans open joining to itself with the magnetic end panels.
