Designed by the renowned Stefano Giovannoni, the Kong XS Velvet Finish lamp by Qeeboo reimagines the legendary cinematic gorilla as an iconic, pop-inspired illuminated sculpture. In this exclusive Velvet Finish version, the rotationally molded polyethylene body is enhanced with a special velvet-effect flocking treatment, giving the surface an unexpectedly soft touch and a deep, intense color. Standing 53 cm tall, the XS version is incredibly versatile: it can serve as either a striking table lamp or a unique floor lamp. Embedded in Kong’s hand is an adjustable spotlight with a flexible arm, allowing you to direct the beam of light (controlled by an On/Off switch) at any angle to create striking lighting accents in indoor spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between the standard Kong XS version and the Velvet Finish version? While the standard version features a classic, smooth polyethylene finish, the Velvet Finish version undergoes a flocking process that covers the surface with microscopic velvety fibers, making it soft to the touch and giving it a matte, highly sophisticated appearance.
2. How should the velvety, flocked surface be cleaned? To remove dust from the velvety finish, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush, a dry microfiber cloth, or a lint roller. Avoid using large amounts of water, abrasive sponges, or harsh chemical solvents.
