Q: What is the "grooved" or "textured" glass of the GROOVE lantern?
The grooved glass (or "grooved" in English, which gives the name GROOVE) is glass on which parallel vertical grooves are engraved or molded across the entire surface. These grooves fragment and diffuse the light in a very soft and slightly striped manner — different from smooth glass that lets light through uniformly. During the day, these grooves give the lantern a very beautiful graphic and tactile texture. At night, they create a particularly soft and soothing luminous atmosphere.
Q: Which color to choose between Green, Sand, and Clay?
The three shades are in a very coherent natural and organic palette. The Green (natural sage green) is the most botanical — it interacts with the vegetation and integrates naturally into a garden or a flowering balcony. The Sand (warm beige) is the most universal — it fits into all styles and compositions. The Clay (soft terracotta) is the trendiest and most contemporary natural color — very in tune with current trends in outdoor decoration. The three together create a very natural and harmonious composition.
Q: Can this lantern stay outdoors all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The IP44 protection ensures resistance to water splashes from all angles — light to moderate rain does not damage it. Its compact size (Ø12xH16cm) makes it slightly sensitive to wind on a very exposed ledge — a slightly sheltered location or in a pot is preferable for very windy balconies.
Q: What is the difference between the GROOVE lantern and the other solar lanterns in the catalog?
Two fundamental differences. The size : the GROOVE (Ø12xH16cm) is the most compact in the catalog — much smaller than the Java and Bali lanterns (Ø14xH23cm) and the black lantern (Ø18xH34cm). The palette : the shades Green, Sand, and Clay are in a very distinct natural and organic range from the bright colors of the Attract lanterns (purple, blue, orange) and the clean black of the black lantern. The GROOVE is the most "natural garden" lantern in the catalog.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who loves gardens and nature-style terraces?
The most targeted solar lantern in the catalog for this profile. Its natural shades (Green, Sand, Clay), its very tactile textured glass, and its compact size make it a well-calibrated gift for someone who loves quality items in organic tones. In the recipient's favorite color or in a trio of the three shades for a more complete gift — it's an item that you receive, install the same evening, and appreciate from the very first night.
