Edge-2 1 Light Wood Pendant - Natural Birch

The Edge-2 is a 260mm pendant light built from layered birch plywood slats that form a bulbous shade around a central E27 lampholder. The slats are laser-cut and assembled into a stack that creates gaps between each layer, allowing light to escape horizontally through the shade while the bulb itself remains concealed from direct view. A cylindrical birch collar extends upward from the top of the shade to the black fabric suspension cable.

Designed for installation over kitchen islands, dining tables, and side tables where ambient downlight is needed without glare, the Edge-2 works as a single pendant or in clusters of two or three spaced 600-800mm apart along a longer surface. The 2000mm cable allows the pendant to be shortened during fitting to suit ceiling heights between 2.4m and 3.5m, with typical drop placing the base of the shade 700-900mm above a worktop or table. The IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor spaces.

The natural birch finish shows wood grain variation across the slats, with tonal shifts from pale cream through to light tan depending on the section of timber each layer was cut from. The layered construction gives the shade a ribbed texture when viewed from the side, with the gaps between slats creating horizontal light bands when the bulb is lit. The 260mm diameter suits rooms up to 15m² without the pendant appearing oversized, and the natural wood pairs with Scandinavian, mid-century and contemporary interiors that favour untreated timber and neutral tones.

Is the Edge-2 dimmable?

Yes. The pendant accepts any E27 bulb up to 60W, and dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulb chosen. Pair with a dimmable LED E27 bulb and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer for full dimming functionality.

What bulb is recommended?

The E27 lampholder accepts standard Edison screw bulbs up to 60W. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K to complement the natural wood finish. The bulb is visible through the slat gaps, so globe or squirrel-cage filament styles work well for decorative effect. Bulbs are sold separately.

Can it be used in a bathroom?

No. The IP20 rating limits the Edge-2 to dry indoor spaces only. It cannot be installed in bathrooms, shower rooms, or any location where moisture or steam is present.

Does the wood finish vary between pieces?

Yes. Each pendant is cut from natural birch plywood, so grain pattern and tonal variation differ between individual units. This is characteristic of the natural material, not a defect.
