Frequently asked questions

Company

Where are you located? Can I buy a lamp in person?

We are based in Tangerang, Indonesia. At the moment, we operate online and do not have a physical showroom. Our lamps are made to order, allowing us to focus on quality and detail rather than mass production.

From time to time, we may join pop-ups or exhibitions. Any in-person opportunities will be shared through our website and social channels.

What does the name “ARKÉLORA” mean? and what are designs inspired by?

ARKÉLORA is a union of form and feeling.

“Arké” speaks of arches and curves — shapes that carry strength while remaining gentle. “Lora” represents beauty — not loud or decorative, but quiet and intentional.

Together, ARKÉLORA stands for the beauty found in thoughtful curves.

Our designs are inspired by how light lives within a space — how it moves, softens corners, and creates atmosphere. Each lamp is shaped to bring character into a room, while remaining balanced enough to be lived with, day after day.

When did ARKÉLORA start?

ARKÉLORA began in mid-2025, around September, as a personal exploration of form, light, and making. What started as small experiments in 3D-printed design gradually evolved into a brand focused on creating lamps with character, intention, and balance for everyday living.

Material And Components

What bulbs are your lamps compatible with?

Our lamps are compatible with standard E27 LED bulbs, which are widely available.

We recommend using warm light bulbs to create a softer, more comfortable atmosphere that complements the form of our designs. Wattage should be chosen according to the size of the lamp and the space it is used in. For smaller lamps, a 3–5 watt LED bulb is typically sufficien

Using standard LED bulbs ensures energy efficiency while maintaining the intended quality of light. If you’re unsure which bulb works best for a specific model, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help.

What material is this made of, and will it degrade over time?

Our lamps are made from PLA (polylactic acid) — a plant-based material derived from renewable sources such as sugarcane and cornstarch.

While PLA is technically biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, it will not break down in normal home environments. When used indoors and kept in dry conditions, your ARKÉLORA lamp is designed to remain stable and intact over time, without crumbling or degrading through everyday use.

How do I care for my ARKÉLORA products?

To clean your ARKÉLORA lamp, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap may be used. Always make sure the lamp is unplugged before cleaning.

Avoid soaking the product or exposing it to excessive moisture or heat. With proper care, your lamp will maintain its form and finish over time.
