Description
A rare and highly collectible pair of “Kumo 2” wall sconces, designed by Kazuhide Takahama for the Italian manufacturer Sirrah. One of Takahama’s most recognised lighting designs, the Kumo series blends Italian radical design with Japanese minimalist restraint — the result is a shell-like organic form of quiet authority and sculptural elegance.
The shades are moulded in beige methacrylate / acrylic, a material characteristic of the model, which allows a smooth, evenly diffused glow while maintaining a lightweight, almost weightless presence on the wall. Their warm neutral tone and fluid silhouette make them equally at home in minimalist, postmodern, or sophisticated contemporary interiors — as much wall sculpture as they are light fixtures.

Specifications
Bulb & Plug Compatibility
All pieces use standard Edison screw fittings: E27 (large, most pendants and sconces) or E14 (small, table lamps and multi-arm chandeliers). A handful of pieces use halogen — noted in the listing. E27 and E26 are interchangeable with a simple ring adapter.
These are straightforward socket circuits with no built-in electronics, so they're fully voltage-agnostic — just fit a bulb rated for your local voltage (110V or 220V) and it works.
Plug-in lamps: you'll need a standard EU-to-local plug adapter (EU Type C/F to US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I, etc.). No voltage converter required.
