A 12 cm drum of travertine hanging from a turned wooden neck, 16 cm from the top of the wood to the base of the stone. The neck is longer than most in the range, which puts a visible gap between the cable and the shade and gives the piece its proportion.
Three finishes, and they are not variations on a theme. Walnut and black is the strongest thing in the pendant range. Walnut and beige is the middle ground. Oak and cream all but disappears into a pale ceiling. Choose by how much you want to see it.
Where it earns its place
-
A run over an island. Three in a line, all the same finish. The long neck makes the row read as a rhythm rather than a set of blobs.
-
Over a dining table. The neck holds the stone lower than the cable would suggest, so you get the drop without the cable dominating.
-
Hallways in a period property. Oak and cream against lime plaster is about as quiet as a pendant gets.
-
When the ceiling is dark. The black version stops fighting it and becomes part of it.
Real stone, so no two are the same
Three finishes means three different blocks, and the black stone in particular carries a completely different pore structure from the pale ones. On black travertine the pits read as light flecks; on beige and cream they read as shadow. Neither is dyed. Compare the macro shots before you choose.
Hanging it
Cable length varies slightly with the finish: 200 cm on the black, 170 cm on the beige and cream. All are trimmed to your drop on the day, so the difference only matters if you are hanging in a stairwell. Over a table, 75 to 80 cm from the surface to the base of the stone. The 12 cm wooden ceiling plate covers a standard rose. Warm white E27 LED bulb included. Not dimmable, and a qualified electrician should fit it.
