Felizia Paper Pendant Light - Natural

This pendant light earns its place through texture. Twisted paper cord is woven round the shade in an open lattice, so it reads like a basket hung from the ceiling. The shape starts with a narrow collar at the top, swells out into a rounded bell and draws in slightly at the base, which keeps it soft rather than formal. It is made from paper and iron, comes in a natural tone, and measures 35cm across and 38cm tall: a mid-sized shade that has presence over a table without overwhelming a modest room. It weighs 1.18KG.

We would hang it over a dining or kitchen table, where the open weave lets light through its gaps and the cord gives the room a relaxed, natural feel even when the light is off. It sits as happily in a living room, a hallway or a bedroom, anywhere you want a softer alternative to a plain fabric or metal shade. The natural paper tone partners well with cane, rattan, pale oak and linen, and it brings warmth to cooler schemes of grey panelling or stone-coloured floors. It suits anyone drawn to Scandinavian and coastal looks who wants one textured piece to tie a room together.

The shade takes an E27 bulb, up to 40W incandescent, 5W LED or 9W CFL; no bulb is included, so choose one within those limits. It hangs on 250cm of black cable from a round ceiling cup, a generous length for a high ceiling. There is no switch on the light itself, so you control it from the room's light switch, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. It is rated IP20, which means dry rooms only. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. For styling, a globe-shaped bulb looks good through the open weave, and a pair hung side by side suits a longer table.
