Hand-brushed plated aluminium is sealed with a protective matte coating that preserves its soft sheen and quiet variations in texture. To maintain the beauty of your light, simply dust or wipe the surface with a soft cloth, using a little water only when necessary and always drying immediately afterwards. Abrasive cloths, brushes, solvents or strong detergents should be avoided, as they may damage the delicate brushed finish and its protective layer. The subtle variations in tone are intentional, a natural result of the hand-brushing process, and are not meant to be polished away. Always switch off and unplug the lamp before cleaning, and avoid exposing it to excessive humidity or direct contact with water. With gentle care, the surface will retain its richness and timeless character, carrying the traces of craftsmanship that make each piece unique.
