Six flat faces cut from a single block of black travertine, with a walnut collar closing the top. The facets catch light at different angles, so the fitting changes as you move through the room rather than presenting one fixed silhouette.
Inside, the stone is hollowed and lit, and the open lower face throws a warm glow down while the outer faces stay matt and dark. It is the geometric counterpart to the softer domes in the range, and it suits a room with straight lines already in it.
Where it earns its place
-
Hallways with tiled floors. The faceted shape picks up the geometry of encaustic or chequerboard tiles without copying it.
-
Kitchens with framed cabinetry. Squared joinery and a faceted fitting agree with each other in a way a round shade does not.
-
Landings. At 7.5 cm deep it clears a low head height at the top of the stairs.
-
Dark schemes. Black stone holds its own against deep paint, dark tiles or stained timber.
Real stone, so no two are the same
A faceted shape shows more of the block than a curved one, so you see the variation clearly across the six faces. Some pieces come through nearly even, others carry rust and grey through the pitting. Yours will not be an exact match for the photographs. The macro shows one face close up.
Fitting it
Six faces mean it can be hung six ways and only one of them agrees with your room. Ask for a flat face set parallel to the nearest wall rather than leaving it to eye, because a hexagon a few degrees out is one of those things you cannot stop noticing afterwards. The stone is solid, so the ceiling point needs to be sound. Gear inside the collar, warm white LED bulb supplied, no dimmer.
