Description
The Dernessa is a fabric pendant light with a generous drum shade, 38cm across, in a soft grey fabric with a warm, taupe cast and a fine woven texture. It hangs from a round ceiling canopy and a slim rod in satin nickel. The whole light measures 110cm in overall height. Inside, the drum is lined in white and open at the base, so light falls straight down onto whatever sits beneath it. It takes one E27 bulb up to a maximum of 60W. The bulb is not included, which leaves the choice of colour and brightness with you. It is rated IP20, so it belongs indoors in dry rooms.
A drum of this width sits comfortably over a dining table, and it is just as at home in the centre of a living room or bedroom ceiling. Over a table, the open base puts light where you eat and read. The grey fabric softens the glare of a bare bulb and gives a room a gentle glow after dark, while the satin nickel keeps the look clean and understated. Its neutral colouring sits easily alongside warm wood, pale walls and darker painted rooms, so it suits anyone who wants a calm, good-looking ceiling light that will not date quickly.
The body is steel with a satin nickel finish, and the shade is fabric. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, so it works from the room's existing light switch. It runs on a mains supply of 220-240V, 50/60Hz, 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 1.255KG packed, so it is easy to handle. For a homely evening glow, fit a warm white E27 bulb within the 60W maximum.
