It is the only carved piece in the range, and the only one where the light does something structural: each step catches the glow from the globe and holds a slightly different shade of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a deco echo in the stepping, but the material keeps it out of pastiche territory. Switched off it reads as a piece of carved stone. Switched on the rings light up in sequence from the centre outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it earns its place\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiving rooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e Enough detail to be worth looking at, not so much that it competes with the rest of the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDining rooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e The stepped face throws its own soft gradient onto the ceiling, which is flattering at low light in the evening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlain modern rooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e If a space has no cornice, no picture rail and nothing to catch the eye, this gives it something.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRooms where you already have oak or walnut furniture.\u003c\/strong\u003e All stone, no timber collar, so it does not have to match anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReal stone, so no two are the same\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarving into travertine exposes the interior of the block, so the stepped rings often reveal banding you would not see on a plain face. Every piece steps through the stone differently. Yours will not be an exact match for the photographs.

Worth a word with your electrician about the ceiling fixing before the day rather than on it. The good news is that the stepping is fully symmetrical, so there is no correct rotation to get wrong, which makes it one of the quicker pieces in the range to hang. Warm white LED bulb supplied, no dimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Travertina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54613842985301,"sku":"TRV-CL-RIP-STN","price":229.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/8212\/1557\/files\/travertine-ceiling-light-stepped-beige-29-1.webp?v=1786530008","url":"https:\/\/travertina.co.uk\/products\/ripon-stepped-travertine-ceiling-light","provider":"Travertina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
