The deepest dome in the range, held by a turned wood ball rather than a flat collar. It has the volume of a pendant while still sitting tight to the ceiling, which is the compromise most people are actually looking for over a dining table in a room that cannot take a drop.
Because the dome is deep, most of the light goes downward and the room stays calm around it. The opal globe underneath softens the source so you can sit facing it across a table without being dazzled.
Where it earns its place
-
Dining tables in low rooms. Presence without a pendant, so nobody stands up into it.
-
Kitchen islands. Two or three in a row give you a proper run of light and read as a designed set.
-
Entrance halls with height. At 16 cm deep it carries a taller ceiling far better than a shallow flush fitting.
-
Oak or walnut. The turned ball is a visible part of the design here rather than a hidden fixing, so the wood choice changes the whole character.
Real stone, so no two are the same
A deep dome wraps the banding right around the shade, so the pattern moves as you walk past it. Some blocks come through soft and even, others carry stronger lines. Yours will not be an exact match for the photographs. The macro in the gallery is shot at life size.
Fitting it
The turned ball is part of the design rather than a cover plate, so it wants to be seen. Fitted hard up against the plaster you lose the shoulder of it and the whole piece reads flatter than it should. At 16 cm deep it is also one of the taller flush fittings, so check the head height if it is going over a table people walk around rather than sit at. Warm white LED bulb supplied, not dimmable.
