The Little Light

The Little Light features a minimalistic design with a small yet bold presence. A defining element of this pendant is the elegant way light shines through the gaps, producing a soft glow that illuminates the interior surfaces of the shade.

Versatile and stylish, The Little Light works beautifully in a variety of settings. Hang a few over a table, arrange them in a cluster, or use it as a stand-alone pendant — it makes a statement in any room. It can also be customised in your desired colour finish to perfectly suit your interior.

When you place an order for The Little Light, you will receive a circular ceiling rose and a G95 dimmable opal LED bulb. If you’re planning a cluster installation, please contact us for custom ceiling rose options.

Refused Deliveries:
If a shipment is not accepted due to unpaid duties, taxes, or import fees, it may be returned to sender. A refund will be issued once the item has been received back at our studio in New Zealand and inspected, provided the item is not a sale item or made-to-order.

The following costs will be deducted from any eligible refund:

- Shipping charges
- Return shipping costs
- Any import duties, GST/VAT, or customs handling fees charged by the courier during return transit

Shipping charges may vary from the amount charged at checkout. In the event of a return or refused delivery, the actual courier costs incurred will be deducted from any eligible refund.

In cases where return and recovery costs exceed the value of the order, we may be unable to complete the return process or issue a refund.

Made-to-Order & Backordered Items:

For products marked as made to order or backordered items, please refer to the estimated production lead-time specified on the individual product page.

Production Phase: This timeframe covers the fabrication and assembly of your piece before dispatch.

Shipping Phase: Once production is completed, your order will be dispatched according to our standard processing times.

Oversized Shipping:

In scenarios where a product cannot be shipped at its full length due to courier specifications or delivery address limitations, special packaging or assembly arrangements may be required.

For example, The Long Light may be packaged in two pre-assembled sections if it exceeds 2 metres. In these instances, some minor assembly will be required upon delivery. Whenever local courier and address access allow, we will prioritise shipping oversized items in a single piece.

Change of Mind Returns:

We accept returns on full-priced items in their original condition, unused, and in their original packaging within 7 days of the delivery date. Approved returns are issued as store credit equal to the value of the returned item(s), excluding shipping fees.

The following items are non-returnable, except in the case of defects:

- Made-to-order products
- Sale items

Returns for change of mind are accepted on eligible items for New Zealand orders only, provided they meet the conditions outlined above.

International orders cannot be returned for change of mind.

Return courier charges are the responsibility of the customer. Please contact us before sending anything back so we can approve the return and provide delivery instructions.

Lost, Damaged, or Faulty Items:

Lost in Transit: If your tracking has stalled or your parcel appears to be lost in transit, please lodge an investigation with the courier using your tracking number as a reference. Once an investigation is open, please notify us so we can monitor the progress.

In cases where a parcel is officially deemed lost by the carrier, you will receive a replacement or a full refund, including all original courier charges.

Damage & Faults: If you receive an item that is faulty or damaged in transit, we will replace it at our cost, subject to stock availability. If a replacement is unavailable, a full refund will be issued.

- Reporting: Faults or damage must be reported within 7 days of delivery.
- Evidence: Please retain all original packaging and provide photos of both the damaged item and the packaging. This is required to process a claim with the carrier.
- Inspection: Returns of faulty items are subject to inspection. Items showing general wear and tear or misuse will not be accepted as faulty.

Once a return has been received and approved, store credit or refunds will be processed within 1–5 working days.

Store credit is issued for eligible change-of-mind returns and will be sent via email. Refunds for faulty or damaged items will be processed to the original payment method.
