An open drum of travertine, 21 cm across and 11 cm deep, sitting on a short wooden collar. The base is open and the bulb hangs just inside the rim, so the inside face of the stone is lit as directly as the table below it.
This is the widest piece in the pendant range, and it behaves differently because of it. The stone catches the light and holds it, so the underside reads as a warm ring rather than a dark hole, and the room picks up that colour rather than the raw output of the bulb.
Where it earns its place
-
One over a small table. Twenty one centimetres covers a two or four seat table on its own. No pair needed, which matters at this size.
-
Centred over an island. The wide throw means one can do the work of two narrow pendants, with a shorter cable so it sits close under a standard ceiling.
-
Rooms with a lot of hard surface. Tiles, stone worktops, painted walls. The warm bounce off the inside of the drum takes the edge off all of it.
-
Oak or walnut. The collar and the ceiling plate change together and both sit against the top face of the stone.
Real stone, so no two are the same
At 21 cm you are looking at a wide slice of the block, which is where travertine shows its bands most clearly. Some pieces come out almost uniform, others carry a dark seam across one side. The inside face, which is the one you actually see when it is lit, has its own pattern entirely.
Hanging it
The cable is 150 cm, shorter than most of the range because the shade is meant to sit relatively high. It is trimmed on the day. Over a dining table, 80 to 85 cm from the tabletop to the rim, and remember the drum is 11 cm deep. The 10 cm ceiling plate is 2.5 cm proud of the ceiling and covers a standard rose. Warm white E27 LED bulb included. Not dimmable, and a qualified electrician should fit it.
