Cravessa Glass Pendant Light 32.5cm - White

The Cravessa is a white pendant light made as a teardrop cage of fine steel wires, with a white glass cylinder hanging at its centre to screen the bulb. It is 32.5cm in diameter and 110cm high overall, a generous size that reads clearly from across a room without feeling heavy, because you see straight through the open wires. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W, and the bulb is not included, so the colour and warmth of the light are your choice. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoor living spaces.

We think it is at its best over a dining table, where the open cage shows off its lines and the glass cylinder softens the bulb so nobody at the table looks into bare light. It suits a living room, a hallway or a bedroom just as well, either alone or as a pair along a longer table. The white finish sits quietly against pale walls and stands out crisply against dark wood or black furniture, so it fits a Scandinavian look as easily as a more modern scheme. Because the cage is open, it keeps a room feeling airy rather than closed in by a solid shade.

The body and the wire cage are steel with a white finish, and the shade pairs that steel with glass for the inner cylinder. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, like most ceiling lights. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains power, and as a wired-in ceiling light it is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, and the light weighs 3.138KG packed, which is worth knowing when you carry the box upstairs. A warm white E27 bulb gives the softest glow over an evening meal.
