Description
The Astrid is a 711mm diameter geometric chandelier built around an icosahedral outer cage in matte bronze, housing five E14 candle fittings on gold-finish arms inside. The five bulbs sit on upward-angled arms that radiate from a central stem, wired from below so they appear to float within the angular frame rather than hang from it. This inverted wiring gives the fitting an open, airy structure that shows off the geometry from every angle.
Designed for ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Astrid works in dining rooms, entrance halls and larger living rooms where the 711mm width can be appreciated without dominating. The 3048mm chain allows the drop to be set anywhere between 955mm minimum and 3962mm maximum on installation, so it can be fitted close to the ceiling in lower rooms or dropped dramatically in double-height spaces. The matte bronze outer cage provides a dark, grounding frame, while the gold inner arms add warmth under the light.
Each of the five E14 fittings takes a candle-style bulb up to 60W (sold separately). The two-tone finish—matte bronze on the outer geometry, gold on the inner cluster—creates layering and depth when the chandelier is viewed from below. The icosahedral frame is constructed from welded steel rod, giving it structural rigidity without visual heaviness. The matte bronze finish softens reflections and pairs comfortably with both industrial-leaning and traditional interiors.
The Astrid is part of Hinkley's architectural lighting range, known for geometric forms and mixed-metal finishes. The fitting weighs approximately 8kg fully assembled, requiring a ceiling fixing capable of supporting that load plus the weight of the chain. The chandelier ships with all necessary chain, canopy and ceiling fixings for UK installation.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Astrid take?
The chandelier takes five E14 candle bulbs, each up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs at 4-6W and 2700K for a warm glow that complements the gold-finish arms.
What ceiling height is needed?
The minimum drop of 955mm means you need at least 2.7m ceiling height to accommodate the chandelier without it sitting too low. For dining tables, the fitting typically hangs 750-850mm above the table surface, which works in rooms with 2.7-3m ceilings. The chain can be shortened during installation.
Is the drop adjustable after installation?
The drop is set during installation by shortening the chain to the desired length. Once installed, the height cannot be adjusted without removing the chandelier and re-threading the chain. The 3048mm supplied chain gives flexibility to set the drop anywhere between 955mm and 3962mm.
What room size suits this chandelier?
The 711mm diameter works best in rooms of at least 4m x 4m, where the chandelier can be appreciated without overwhelming the space. Over a dining table, it suits tables 1.8-2.4m long. In entrance halls or living rooms, it needs sufficient ceiling height and floor space to show off the geometric form.
