The slimmest fitting in the range. The Wren is a wide travertine disc with the light source set into a shallow wood ring underneath, so what you see from the doorway is a stone plate resting against the ceiling rather than a lamp hanging off it.
Because the disc overhangs the light source, some of the output bounces back onto the ceiling and gives you a soft halo around the fitting. That is what stops a low ceiling feeling like a lid. Below, the diffuser does the working light.
Where it earns its place
-
Low ceilings. At 4 cm deep it is the shallowest fitting we make. If you have measured the drop and nothing fits, start here.
-
Bedrooms. The diffuser is fully covered, so there is no bright spot in your eyeline when you are lying down.
-
Landings and box rooms. A 30 cm spread from a fitting that takes up almost no height.
-
Oak or walnut. Oak keeps the whole piece pale and quiet. Walnut draws a dark line under the stone and gives it more definition.
Real stone, so no two are the same
The disc is cut from natural travertine, so the banding runs differently through every piece and the pitting is denser in some blocks than others. Yours will not be an exact match for the photographs. The macro is shot close enough to count the pits.
Fitting it
Thirty centimetres of stone plate sitting four centimetres off the ceiling brings one quirk worth knowing: a wide flat disc shows up any slope in an old plaster ceiling. If yours runs off, ask your electrician to pack the fixing rather than pull the stone tight against the high side. Otherwise it is a straight swap onto the existing ceiling point, with the gear held inside the wood ring. Warm white LED bulb supplied, no dimmer.
