Andrea 19cm 1 Light Crystal Pendant Light - Graphite

The Andrea is a 19cm diameter spherical pendant light with a smooth graphite-finish metal dome bisected by a horizontal band of clear crystal detailing. A single E27 bulb (sold separately, up to 60W) sits inside the dome, directing light downwards through the open base while the crystal band around the equator catches and reflects fragments of that light outwards.

Designed for kitchen islands, breakfast bars, dining tables and hallway positions where a compact pendant provides focused downlight without dominating the sightline, the Andrea works as a single fitting over a small table or in multiples spaced along a longer island. The adjustable drop ranges from 350mm minimum to 1850mm maximum, allowing installation in standard 2.4m ceiling heights or higher vaulted spaces. The graphite canopy matches the shade finish and conceals the cable run.

The matt graphite finish on the metal dome absorbs ambient light, creating a darker visual mass that contrasts with the clear crystal band running around the centre. This band is formed from individual crystal elements set into the metal framework, so when the internal bulb is lit, the crystals throw scattered reflections onto nearby walls and ceilings. The combination of dark metal and reflective crystal suits both industrial-minimalist interiors and contemporary schemes with warm-toned cabinetry or exposed brick.

At 0.9kg the Andrea is light enough to hang from standard UK ceiling roses without additional structural support. The graphite finish is powder-coated onto the metal, resisting fingerprints and kitchen condensation better than polished or plated surfaces. Pairing the pendant with a warm-white LED bulb (2700K-3000K) softens the contrast between the dark shade and the crystal detailing, while a cooler daylight bulb (4000K+) sharpens the modern aesthetic.

What bulb does the Andrea take?

The pendant takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient dining or kitchen lighting, or a cooler 4000K LED for task-focused brightness over worktops.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you fit a dimmable LED bulb and pair it with a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself has no restrictions on dimming, but check the bulb packaging to confirm dimmer compatibility before purchasing.

How far should it hang above a table or island?

For dining tables, 700-800mm above the tabletop is standard. For kitchen islands or breakfast bars, 600-750mm above the worktop allows comfortable sightlines while providing adequate task light. The drop is adjustable during installation between 350mm and 1850mm from the ceiling.

Can I install multiple Andrea pendants in a row?

Yes. The compact 19cm diameter allows multiple pendants to be spaced along a kitchen island or dining table without visual crowding. Typical spacing is 600-800mm between pendant centres for a balanced look over a 2-3m island.
