Description
The Casablanca is a 406mm semi flush ceiling light with an open-weave natural rattan shade shaped into a compressed globe form, suspended from a matt black canopy. Three E27 bulb fittings inside the shade cast light through the gaps in the woven structure, creating patterned shadows on surrounding walls and ceilings while the rattan itself softens and warms the glow.
Designed for rooms with ceiling heights below 2.4m where a full pendant drop would feel intrusive, the Casablanca sits 293mm down from the ceiling — close enough to avoid head clearance issues in bedrooms, hallways and smaller living rooms, but with enough depth to let the rattan shade read as a three-dimensional object rather than a flat disc. The semi flush format works well over beds, in corner reading nooks, and in entrance halls where a decorative ceiling fitting is wanted without committing to a long drop.
The rattan is woven into an irregular lattice that varies slightly between individual pieces, giving each shade a handmade character. The natural sandy-brown tone of the rattan pairs with pale walls, oak furniture, linen textiles and neutral colour schemes without requiring the room to commit to a fully coastal or bohemian style. The matt black canopy and fittings provide a grounding visual contrast against the lighter rattan and stop the shade from reading as too soft or organic. The 406mm diameter suits rooms from 3m x 3m upwards, where it provides enough presence to anchor a ceiling zone without dominating smaller bedrooms or box rooms.
The shade accepts three E27 bulbs up to 60W each (sold separately), giving flexibility to choose colour temperature and brightness. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs around 6-8W and 2700K-3000K to complement the natural material tone and create a soft ambient glow suitable for bedrooms and relaxation spaces.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take?
The Casablanca takes three E27 (Edison screw) bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Warm-white LED bulbs between 6-8W and 2700K-3000K are recommended to complement the natural rattan tone and create ambient bedroom or living room lighting.
What ceiling height is needed?
The fitting projects 293mm down from the ceiling. It suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.2m or above, where the base of the shade will clear head height in circulation zones. The semi flush format is designed specifically for lower ceilings where a full pendant drop would be impractical.
Is the rattan treated or sealed?
The rattan is left in its natural state without heavy coating or sealing, which preserves the texture and allows light to pass through the weave. This also means the shade will gather dust over time and should be cleaned gently with a soft brush or dry cloth rather than wiped with a damp cloth.
Does the shade vary between pieces?
Yes. The rattan is hand-woven into an irregular lattice, so the density and pattern of the weave differ slightly between individual shades. This is a feature of the handmade construction, not a defect.
