Basic Form 20cm Globe Pendant Light - Gold with Frosted White Glass

The Basic Form is a 20cm diameter globe pendant light combining a frosted white glass sphere with a polished gold metal stem and ceiling rose. The frosted glass diffuses light evenly in all directions, softening the output from a single E14 bulb (sold separately) into ambient room light rather than a directional beam.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and living room ceiling positions, the pendant suits rooms where a central fitting is needed but ceiling height varies. The suspension cable adjusts between 45cm and 180cm maximum drop, allowing the globe to be positioned close to the ceiling in lower rooms or extended in spaces with 3m+ ceilings. The 20cm globe provides enough diffused light for a 3-4m dining table or a small-to-medium living area when paired with a 6-10W LED bulb.

The polished gold finish on the metal components gives a warm metallic accent that pairs with brass handles, warm timber tones and traditional or contemporary interiors leaning towards warmer palettes. The frosted white glass hides the bulb completely when the light is off, presenting as a clean white sphere, and glows uniformly when lit without creating hotspots or visible filament shadows. The E14 fitting accepts standard small Edison screw bulbs up to 40W, with most users opting for a warm-white LED between 2700K-3000K.

Maytoni manufactures this pendant in Germany with an IP20 rating suitable for dry indoor locations. The 2-year guarantee covers manufacturing defects in the metal frame, glass sphere and electrical components.

Product Manual

What bulb does it take?

The pendant uses a single E14 (small Edison screw) bulb up to 40W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb around 2700K-3000K for dining or living room use.

Is it dimmable?

Dimming depends on the bulb chosen and the dimmer switch installed. Use a dimmable E14 LED bulb with a trailing-edge LED-compatible dimmer for smooth dimming without flicker.

What ceiling height does it need?

The suspension adjusts between 45cm minimum and 180cm maximum drop. For a dining table the globe typically sits 70-80cm above the surface, which works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. Lower ceilings can use the shortened 45cm drop setting.

Can the frosted glass be cleaned?

Yes. Switch off the power, allow the bulb to cool, and wipe the frosted glass with a dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks use a barely-damp cloth with warm water and dry immediately to avoid water marks on the gold metal.
