Agar

Agar (pronounced /ˈɑːɡər/, "AH-gər") or agar-agar (/ˈɑːɡərˈɑːɡər/, "AH-gər-AH-gər") is a gelatinous substance, obtained from algae and discovered in the late 1650's or early 1660's by Minoya Tarozaemon (美濃屋 太郎左衛門) in Japan, where it is called Kanten. Agar is derived from the polysaccharide agarose, which forms the supporting structure in the cell walls of certain species of algae, and which is released on boiling. These algae are known as agarophytes and belong to the Rhodophyta (red algae) phylum .[1][2] Agar is actually the resulting mixture of two components: the linear polysaccharide agarose, and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called agaropectin.[3] The gelling agent in agar is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae, primarily from the genera Gelidium and Gracilaria.

These translucent ash wood lamps, dubbed The Wise One, "generate an aura of visceral energy and vitality around them". They fit equally well into a rustic rural environment and in urban dwellings, bringing the touch of nature to modern decor. Google Image Result for. Random Light - Small.

After making attempts at knitting fiberglass as a means of creating structure, Pot turned to coiling epoxy-dipped fiberglass around a large balloon in varying patterns. Once the balloon was popped, the dramatic globe shape remained, becoming a buoyant pendant lamp for an entryway, dining room or lounge area. The light bulb is visible at the center of the globe, creating an all-over glow with minimal glare when lit. Bulb (not included): incandescent 60W/120V/A19/E26.

We left the installation up to the contractor/electrician and it took some rework/relevel by my wife and me to make it right. Fortunately, we are soduku/crossword puzzle fans and were able to right all wrongs except for leveling (redone by the electrician). None of this was the fault of the manufacturer.

However, despite my engineering mind, I couldn't assemble the fixture. After two hours of fiddling, I discovered a misalignment that had a domino effect. I am trying to take the whole thing apart to start over, but once assembled, this is not easy to do (the wood pieces break and splinter easily, and only two spares are included). Perhaps distributors should offer an "expert assembly" service for an additional fee! By:Brooke , Homeowner (Atlanta) I put the fixture together with ease although the instructions are a bit confusing.

In our situation the single fixture looks a bit strange.
