Roaring Hippo

DIY PAPERLAMP KIT
Hippo yawn or Hippo roar?
We can’t tell if he’s sleepy, angry or maybe even hungry! What’s your guess? Meet our frightful Hippopotamus, directly from a sub-Saharan African swamp where he likes to slowly submerge and occasionally peek above the water. Make sure you don’t mess with him or you’ll probably get a much too close look at his pointy canines!

Our Roaring Hippo paperlamp is a DIY papercraft kit for you to build the model. It includes a pre-cut paper model and a base with an E14 light bulb socket, an electrical cord with switch and a plug. Also included is an assembly guide and a practice model.

This item is a DIY (Do It Yourself) papercraft kit, containing a pre-cut paper model and a ceiling light fixture with an E27 light bulb socket and 1,0 meter long electrical cable.
It is mandatory that you only use LED light bulbs or equivalent energy saving light bulbs that do not generate heat. These should have an E27 fitting, which is a European standard that might not be available in your country (e.g. US, Canada and Japan). Please check beforehand, as you can choose to include an adequate light bulb in your kit from the Electrical Set sidebar.
The paperlamps are made with high quality 160g paper that contains cotton and presents good resistance and durability. A variety of colours is available, so take a look at our colour palette at the end of the slideshow. If you look closely, you may notice the small assembly numbers when the paperlamp is lit, as we mostly use bright coloured paper.

In case you wish to receive a different cable length for your ceiling light fixture, get in touch with us. Product language: English only.
