Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Vela lounge chair suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the matte version is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. The lacquered version is intended exclusively for indoor use.

Which color can be illuminated?
Only the ice color, and only in the matte version. The body is translucent in this version – illumination is not possible with any other colors or in the lacquered version.

What does the lighting provide?
The white LED emits light at 3000 Kelvin (warm white). All mains-powered and battery-powered versions are protected to IP65 and are therefore approved for wet areas, designed for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. The cable versions include a 4–5 m long white cable with an EU plug. The RGB versions with cable or battery come with a radio remote control (RF433, 10–15 m range), which allows you to switch between colors and shades of white. CE, RoHS and UL certified.

How long does the battery last?
The Li-ion battery (12 V) lasts 6 to 8 hours depending on the model. The charging time is approximately 5 hours, and the battery is designed for about 500 charge cycles; the charger is included. The battery version is also protected to IP65.

What do I need for Wi-Fi control?
The Wi-Fi versions operate with a DMX-1024 decoder via a 2.4-GHz radio signal. This allows multiple lights to be controlled simultaneously. Important: The controller itself is not included – available as a home Wi-Fi controller (compatible with iOS and Android) or as a professional DMX controller with an XLR connection.

Which cushions are available?
Three fabric categories are available: 1A and 1B, 1C, and 2 – they differ in material and price. Depending on the fabric category, clean the covers and store them as dry and protected as possible if the furniture is left outside for longer periods; the body itself can simply be wiped down with water and a mild cleaner.

Who designed it?
By Ramón Esteve, architect and creative director of Vondom. Vela is a modular system of prismatic volumes – Esteve imprints every design with his sense of harmony, tranquility, and essence.
