Each lamp comes with a steel ceiling plate and a 1.8m cord (or 2.7m, for the extra-large version), but the versatile lamp can also be wall-mounted.
Bubble lamps come in various shapes, including (from left) the Saucer, Cigar, Ball, and Pear. The webbing is available in both the classic style as well as the criss-cross version.
