A tapered travertine cone wearing a flat wood brim, like a hat. The brim is not decoration: it is what stops you seeing the lit interior from across the room, so the pendant reads as a solid shape from the doorway and only opens up when you are underneath it.
That trick is worth knowing if you have an open plan ground floor. A cone on its own throws light and glare sideways. This one keeps the glare to itself.
Where it earns its place
-
Open plan rooms. The brim means you can hang it over a table without lighting the sofa at the other end of the room.
-
Kitchen islands. At 20 cm across the brim it holds its own over a wide worktop without needing a second fitting.
-
Rooms with beams or a sloped ceiling. The cone tapers upward, so it clears more than its widest measurement suggests.
-
Walnut or oak. Walnut draws a dark line under the stone. Oak lets the brim disappear into the shade and reads as one piece.
Real stone, so no two are the same
A cone shows the banding compressing as it narrows, so the pattern tightens towards the top of every piece. Yours will not be an exact match for the photographs. There is a life size macro in the gallery.
Hanging it
The cable arrives at 200 cm, the longest in the range, and is cut to length on the day. Worth knowing if the ceiling is high, because this is one of the few pendants here that will reach down a stairwell. The brim is the widest part at 20 cm, so measure that rather than the cone when you are checking clearance. Warm white E27 LED bulb supplied. Not dimmable.
