 INSURANCE-CLAIMS 

Goods always travel at the recipient'w risk. Nonetheless
all shipments are insured "all risks"(basic insurance). If your destination is
not covered you will be notified to take care of insurance.

Upon reception, should you detect any damage you must
take all necessary steps described below, in order to notify
us wjthin 72 hours, so to make a claim in time. Failing to do so,
the Insurance company will reject the claim as overdue, and
you will not be reimburshed.

In general, all goods always travel at the recipient's (buyer's) risk. Nevertheless, all shipments have an “all risks” Insurance coverage. If the Insurance company does not cover your destination--for any reason—you will be notified to insure the goods as they are transported at your risk.

In case of damage in transit your cooperation is critical for making the redress claim to the carrier and the Insurance company in time.

In case you want full insurance coverage of the value of the order (full insurance package) you must pay the corresponding value after contacting the store at [email protected].

Upon reception of the goods, should you detect any damages or squeezes or openings or distortions or any sign of mishandling of the packages, you must do the following:

a)     TAKE SOME SNAPSHOT PICTURES WITH YOUR MOBILE OR CAMERA. (Take shots including the lamp and the packaging in the same picture, as well as some detail pictures of the part that has been damaged) Without pictures we will not accept any damage claim.

b)    Open the parcels, in the presence of the delivering courier agent, and examine to make sure that there are not obvious damages at first sight. If there are REFUSE to accept the goods and notify us immediately by e-mail sending the pictures as well. If everything looks OK at first sight,  you may accept the goods but to make sure that you won’t detect any hidden damages later, make a saving clause, i.e. do the following c)

c)    WRITE above your signature on the transporter’s delivery receipt, that you are    “receiving under the reservation to examine the integrity of its contents because the parcel is damaged” and keep a copy to send us by e-mail or post. You must then immediately examine the luminaire thoroughly and if you find out any defects or breakages or scratches caused in transit, you must notify us by e-mail to
[email protected] sending the pictures too, within the next 72 hours from reception of goods. This deadline is important in order to make a claim in due time to the Insurance company, otherwise they will not accept it as overdue. We will not accept any damage claim after you have accepted the goods without writing the above clause on the receipt and send us a copy and the photographs.

After the 72 hours time-limit you are considered to have accepted the goods in good condition,in tact and OK. Anyway, do not worry, our over 35 years experience shows that damages are very, very ,very rare…almost negligible. All packaging is incredibly durable and tested for international transport.

Do NOT contact the courier or forwarder for any damage. We will do this.

Born in 1984. After receiving a degree in Industrial Design in 2007, Adriano began his professional career in SLAMP’S Research & Development department, where he continues his success today.
Going against the trend of mass-produced items, Adriano Rachele gives each of his pieces the feeling of a single edition while still managing to produce them in series.
Rachele believes that design should possess soul, express poetry and emotion that tells a story extending beyond simple forms. This concept comes through in his soft, sinuous designs, whose forms emphasise the unique identity of the brand, and enhance their individual hand-crafted style. His challenge is to create objects which combine technology, functionality and innovation with tradition and emotion, while maintaining their ironic and accessible nature. In 2010, he was recognised as one of the top young talents in Italian design for his Veli project, which won the Red Dot Design Award in 2012. 

DE MAJO IIluminazione was first established at the end of the second world war by Guido de Majo, who, having left his native Naples, moved to the Lagoon, and in 1947 founded his first glassworks on the island of Murano.
Right from the first moment, although small in size, thanks to a discerning company strategy committed to product quality, this company played an important role in Murano glassmaking, becoming, in just a few years, a solid and consolidated industry.

HOW TO CHOOSE

Any search in e-luceHabitat is easy and is done in just a few strokes.

It is based on the simple logic of diversity, i.e. that each of you who visit us have different needs. And  those needs must be met….

Therefore, our goal is to make it easy for you  to adjust, easily and simply, your individual needs, to the available tools and ways of search in this e-shop, without these tools having to become complex and knotty. On the contrary…

Any search is structured so that everyone can find easily and quickly any specific requests, or various alternatives out of which one can easily reach the "best" option.

GENERAL INFORMATION  By clicking on a photo, you will be transferred to the internal info page of the luminaire. Here you will find a description, various photos with  applications, a scketch with the dimensions, video and .pdf  if available, etc. technical features, bulbs, the Pricelist price and our  price you can acquire it.

In other words whatever you need to have a comprehensive view of the lamp you are about to obtain.
If there are versions (usually colors or sizes or materials etc) you will see the bar "Select version" and you must select your choise from this dropdown menu. 

The photo on the left will automatically change to indicate your choice and probably the price-- if there is a different price.

Finally you can see possibly related or similar lights or models which match the selection made.

SPECIFIC The tools to be analyzed hereunder , can be used either individually  or  combined together in whichever  ways.

Therefore, no matter the point  you start, you have  at your disposal (in HOME page) the following tools:

1)     THE QUICK SEARCH BAR. 
       Here there are 3 dropdown menus]  and a box for verbal search SEARCH

It is like a small …Google in our e-shop  ... It is understood that if you write an ... impossible το relate to light  word e.g. ... codfish or creek or superstitious etc. ….nothing will appear ….
