Grain, at rest
When off, the brass base reflects the room's ambient light with a muted, old-gold sheen; the linen shade rests softly, like a furled leaf.
Under water
Switched on, the shade blooms into a warm, even glow — no hot spots, just a gentle wash across the table.
In low light
A 2700 K golden-white light, slightly diffused by the weave of the linen, like late-afternoon sun filtered through shoji.
Scent
A faint scent of warm metal and sun-dried linen — never intrusive, merely a whisper that belongs in a slow-brewed evening.
Underhand
The light pools on the chá pán without drawing attention to itself; shadows are soft-edged, inviting focus on the movements of the ceremony.
Finish, over time
After dimming off, the brass holds a slight residual warmth, a tactile echo of the session just ended.
