The season's IT lamp. When Ikea does a good job with something, it can really hit a home run, creating an inexpensive product that works really well and looks fabulous. Lately we've seen the Knappa Pendant Lamp creeping up the HOT list and into people's homes. Designed by Brylle/Jacobsen of Denmark, the Knappa is made of polypropylene and is clearly inspired by their other lamps as well as those by Jeremy Cole.

Hi. I love this lamp also. I want to hang it in my bathroom. I was wondering how to hide the cord. I haven't got it yet and don't want to unless I can find a way to hide it. Does it even have a cord?
I assembled the lamp to hang low over my dresser in my bedroom (at about table lamp height, as if it were on a table lamp base) and halfway through I put it down on the table to go get a hook for the ceiling. It looks so good I have just left it like that-- upside down on the surface. Photos coming to my flickr page soon:

Does anyone know if this lamp can be hardwired into the ceiling or is it just a cord? Is it bright enough to hang over a kitchen table and get enough light?
Get some soft and medium hard bristle paint brushes to clean the lamp...they are great for getting into places nothing else can reach.
I just bought this lamp a few days ago to go in my (small) dining room in my new home! I always liked it, and now I have a place to hang it. Can't wait to put it together and see it hanging over my table (but first I have to scape off more wallpaper, remove wood paneling, paint, put down floors, etc.. :p!)!
I didn't even think about cleaning the lamp, but thanks for the tips!!
Hi we just bought this lamp and want to replace our old chandelier with this one. Does anyone have good tips on how to install this? the Ikea lamp comes with a plug and I might have to eventually cut the wire and get rid of it, but just wanted to make sure this is the right way to do it....
