Description
The Basic Form is a 20cm globe pendant light combining a frosted white glass sphere with a matt black metal canopy and adjustable cable suspension. The frosted glass diffuses light evenly in all directions, creating ambient illumination rather than focused task light. The fitting takes a single E14 bulb up to 40W, sold separately.
Designed for kitchens, dining areas, hallways and bedrooms with standard ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the pendant hangs from an adjustable cable allowing drop heights between 40cm and 222.5cm from the ceiling rose. For installation over a dining table or kitchen island the pendant typically sits 70-80cm above the surface. The 20cm globe diameter suits rooms between 8-15m², providing sufficient ambient light when paired with a suitable bulb without overwhelming smaller spaces.
The matt black metal frame and cable provide a clean contrast to the frosted white glass, pairing comfortably with monochrome, Scandi and industrial-leaning interiors. The frosted finish on the glass prevents direct glare from the bulb while maintaining translucency, so the sphere glows softly when lit. The metal components are finished in a powder-coated matt black that resists fingerprints and sits flush against most ceiling colours.
The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor locations only. For bathrooms or outdoor areas an IP44-rated alternative would be required. Multiple Basic Form pendants can be installed in a row over a kitchen island or bar counter, typically spaced 60-80cm apart depending on the length of the surface.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does it take?
The pendant takes a single E14 small Edison screw bulb up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting in living spaces.
Can the drop height be adjusted after installation?
The cable length is set during installation and can be shortened by looping excess cable inside the ceiling rose. Adjusting the drop after installation requires accessing the ceiling rose again to shorten or lengthen the visible cable run.
Is it suitable for bathroom use?
No. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor locations only. For bathrooms an IP44-rated pendant would be required to meet UK Building Regulations for zones 1 and 2.
How many pendants are needed over a kitchen island?
For a typical 1.8-2.4m kitchen island, two or three Basic Form pendants spaced 60-80cm apart provide balanced ambient light. For islands longer than 2.4m, consider three or four pendants to avoid dark patches between fixtures.
