Description
The Andrea is a 100cm diameter 12-light chandelier built on a two-tier polished chrome frame with twelve cream fabric drum shades and black crystal teardrop accents beneath each shade. Each arm curves outward from a central chrome stem, arranging the twelve E14 bulb positions across two levels — six on the upper tier, six on the lower — creating a balanced symmetrical silhouette when viewed from below.
Designed for double-height entrance halls, above large dining tables (2.4m or longer), and stairwells with ceiling heights of 3.5m or above, the Andrea requires substantial vertical clearance. The drop is adjustable between 800mm minimum and 2000mm maximum on installation, allowing the chandelier to be positioned 700-900mm above a table surface or centred in a void depending on ceiling height. The 1000mm spread means it needs at least a 1.3m clear diameter to avoid visual crowding against walls or furniture.
The cream fabric shades diffuse the E14 bulb light (bulbs sold separately) into a soft ambient glow rather than directing task light, so the chandelier functions as decorative and ambient lighting rather than a primary work light. The polished chrome finish on the metalwork reflects both natural daylight and artificial light from the shades, amplifying brightness in the room. Each of the twelve arms carries a cluster of black crystal droplets below the shade, adding weight and visual punctuation to the otherwise light-toned frame. At 8kg the chandelier requires a ceiling joist or reinforced fixing point capable of supporting at least 12kg when fully loaded with bulbs and shades.
The Andrea is part of Mantra's Spanish-manufactured decorative lighting range and carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Dimmer compatibility depends on the E14 bulbs you fit — use dimmable LED or halogen bulbs if pairing with a dimmer switch.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take and are they included?
The Andrea takes twelve E14 small Edison screw bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W warm white LED candle bulbs at 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting. Total wattage depends on the bulbs you choose.
What ceiling height is needed?
The chandelier suits rooms with ceiling heights of 3.5m or above. For a dining table installation the fitting typically sits 700-900mm above the table surface, which requires a 2.7m minimum ceiling height when using the shortest 800mm drop setting. Double-height entrance halls and stairwells with 4-5m ceiling heights can use the full 2000mm drop.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, if you fit dimmable E14 bulbs. The chandelier itself has no electronic components that would block dimming, so compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs you choose and the dimmer switch model.
How much clearance does the 100cm diameter need?
The 1000mm spread requires at least a 1.3m clear diameter to avoid the arms feeling cramped against walls or furniture. Above a dining table, the table itself should be at least 1.2m wide to visually balance the chandelier's footprint.
