I picked this up for my partner who used to live in Seoul. The mother-of-pearl inlay is subtle but catches light in a really nice way. It sits on our entry table and gives off a soft glow, not too bright. The black lacquer feels solid, though the switch is a bit stiff.

Snagged one on this restock after missing it twice. The mother-of-pearl throws soft shapes across my bookshelf at night, like a tiny folk painting.
Finn Marsh – Sydney, Australia –
Bought this as a housewarming gift for my sister in Annandale. The glow is soft and calming, and the mother-of-pearl inlay catches light like a tiny moon landing on our coffee table.
