Description
The Dernessa is a large flush ceiling light: a round drum 76cm in diameter and 15cm high, wrapped in a grey linen fabric with a fine woven texture. The body is steel in white, and a white diffuser closes the underside of the drum so the bulbs stay out of sight. It takes five E27 bulbs of up to 25W each. The bulbs are not included, which leaves the choice of light colour with you. Its IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in rooms that stay dry, so not a bathroom or an outdoor wall.
Because it sits close to the ceiling rather than hanging from it, the Dernessa suits rooms where a pendant would feel too low. At 76cm across it has the scale to serve as the main light in a generous living room, a main bedroom or a dining room. The grey fabric looks soft and warm against a white ceiling, and it sits comfortably with neutral schemes, pale walls and natural wood. With five bulbs behind a single diffuser, the light comes through as a gentle, even glow rather than bright points.
The steel body gives the drum a firm frame, and the linen shade wraps the full circumference in grey, with white on the underside. There is no switch on the light itself, as it is switched at the wall, so it answers to the light switch you already have. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, and as a wired-in ceiling light it is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions are available as a download. It weighs 4.1KG packed, so a second pair of hands helps when it is lifted into place, and it is worth buying five E27 bulbs of no more than 25W each before fitting day.

Frequently Asked
Can the Dernessa go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors in dry rooms only, so it suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms rather than bathrooms or anywhere outdoors.
Which bulbs does it take?
It takes five E27 bulbs, each of up to 25W. The bulbs are not included, so you can choose the colour of light that suits your room.
How big is the Dernessa ceiling light?
It is 76cm in diameter and 15cm high, so it sits close to the ceiling and works well as the main light in a larger room.
Does the light have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, so you turn it on and off with your existing light switch.
What colour is the shade?
The drum shade is a grey linen fabric with a woven texture and white on the underside, and the steel body is finished in white.
