Floresta Smoked Glass Pendant Light - Black

The Floresta is a pendant light built in two layers: an outer cage of black steel wire, looped and crossed into a soft, rounded basket, and inside it a cylinder of smoked glass. The shade is vaporised glass with a black-transparent tint, so it reads as a deep smoky grey rather than solid black. It measures 110cm tall overall from the ceiling canopy to the base of the cage, and the cage is 19.5cm across. It takes a single E27 bulb with a maximum of 40W, and the bulb is not included. The IP rating is IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry room.

At 19.5cm across, this black pendant light is compact enough to hang alone over a small dining table, a kitchen island or a bedside, and it suits a pair or a row where one larger shade would crowd the space. Over a round table it gives the room a clear focal point, and because the cage is open wire, it never feels heavy or closes off the view. Because the bulb shows through the tinted glass, it is worth choosing an E27 bulb whose shape you like. It suits anyone who wants an industrial edge that stays light and airy.

The body is steel in a black finish, matching the round ceiling canopy and the black cord, so the whole fitting reads as one clean, unbroken line. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, from the switch already in the room. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, and because it is wired in, it is installed by a qualified electrician. Packed, it weighs 1.278KG. When you choose a bulb, keep to an E27 cap and no more than 40W.

Can I use the Floresta in a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so we suggest a living room, dining room, bedroom or hallway rather than a bathroom or anywhere outdoors.

Which bulb does it take?

It takes one E27 bulb with a maximum of 40W. The bulb is not included, so choose one separately to suit the look you want.

How big is the shade?

The wire cage is 19.5cm across, and the light measures 110cm tall overall from the ceiling canopy to the bottom of the cage.

What colour is the glass?

The shade is vaporised glass with a black-transparent tint, giving a smoky grey look that softens the bulb without hiding it completely.

Does the pendant have its own switch?

No, there is no switch on the fitting itself. It is switched at the wall, using the light switch in the room where it hangs.

What material is the cage?

The cage and body are steel in a black finish, with loops of wire crossing around the smoked glass cylinder at the centre.
