Description

The Darwin is a 482mm diameter pendant light that pairs a matte white metal shade with a natural wood crown at the neck. The shade flares outward from a narrow top to a wide 482mm opening at the base, directing light downward through an E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately, up to 60W). The wood crown sits between the shade and the suspension rod, adding warmth to the otherwise clean white metal form.

Designed for kitchen islands, dining tables and breakfast bars, the Darwin provides focused task light directly below while keeping the light source concealed within the shade. The drop is adjustable between 532mm and 1752mm on installation, allowing the pendant to be set 600-800mm above a worktop or dining surface depending on ceiling height. The white canopy fits standard UK ceiling roses and the suspension rod conceals the cable run.

The matte white finish on the metal shade gives a soft, non-reflective surface that suits Scandinavian, minimalist and contemporary interiors without competing with surrounding finishes. The natural wood crown introduces organic texture and tonal variation — each piece of wood shows different grain patterns depending on the cut. The 340mm shade height gives the pendant enough visual weight to hold its own over a 1.5-2m island or table without dominating smaller dining areas.

Frequently Asked

What bulb does the Darwin take?

The Darwin takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most installations pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for dining and kitchen lighting.

Can the drop height be adjusted?

Yes. The pendant is height adjustable between 532mm and 1752mm on installation. This allows it to be set 600-800mm above a worktop or dining table depending on your ceiling height. Once installed, the height is fixed.

What ceiling height is needed?

For a kitchen island or dining table, the pendant typically sits 600-800mm above the surface. With the minimum 532mm drop, this works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. Higher ceilings can use the full 1752mm drop for a more dramatic suspension.

Does the wood crown vary between pieces?

Yes. Each wood crown shows different grain patterns and tonal variation depending on the cut of the timber. This natural variation is part of the design, not a defect.
