Description
The Corbena is a semi-flush ceiling light that pairs a black steel frame with a band of natural woven rattan. A round black ceiling plate holds a dome of slim steel wires, and the rattan wraps around the widest part of the dome before an open black frame finishes the lower rim. It measures 38cm across and 26.5cm high, so it sits close to the ceiling rather than hanging low into the room. It takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W, which is not included, and it is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry rooms indoors.
Because it is semi-flush, it suits rooms with standard or lower ceilings where a pendant would hang too close to heads: a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a cosy living room. The mix of black metal and warm rattan sits comfortably in a rustic, industrial or relaxed natural scheme, and it works just as well over a dining table. As it is rated IP20, it belongs out of bathrooms and away from anywhere it could get wet. What you gain is the texture of a woven shade with the tidy footprint of a ceiling-hugging fitting, so the room feels finished without giving up headroom.
The frame is steel in a black finish, and the shade band is rattan in its natural colour, woven around the vertical wires so the two read as one piece. Rattan is a natural material, so a little variation in tone from one shade to the next is part of its character. There is no switch on the light itself; it is switched at the wall, and as a wired-in mains light it is installed by a qualified electrician. Installation instructions are available as a download. Packed, it weighs 1.572KG. We would choose an E27 bulb of up to 60W, and a clear filament bulb looks good through the open wire top.

Frequently Asked
Can the Corbena go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry rooms indoors, so keep it to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and similar spaces.
Which bulb does it take?
It takes one E27 bulb up to a maximum of 60W. The bulb is not included, so choose one alongside the light.
How big is the Corbena ceiling light?
It is 38cm in diameter and 26.5cm high, so it sits fairly close to the ceiling and suits rooms where headroom matters.
Does it have its own switch?
No. There is no switch on the light itself, so it is turned on and off at the wall switch for the room.
What material is the shade?
The shade band is natural rattan, woven around a dome of black steel wires, with an open black steel frame around the lower rim.
