Description
The Fralvessa is a linear pendant light: three cylindrical smoked glass shades hang on slim black cords from a straight ceiling bar in black steel. It measures 85cm long, 15cm wide and 110cm high overall, so it lights the length of a table rather than a single spot. Each shade is vaporised glass in a black-transparent tint, and each takes an E27 bulb of up to 40W, with the bulbs not included. It is rated IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors, in a dry room, well away from bathrooms and the outdoors.
A straight run of three lights suits a dining table, a kitchen island or a breakfast bar, where one central pendant tends to leave the ends of the surface in shadow. The smoked glass softens glare while still letting the shape of each bulb remain visible, so a decorative filament bulb earns its place here. Black steel and tinted glass sit comfortably in a loft-style kitchen, a modern dining room or a darker, moodier scheme, and the pared-back palette works beside warm wood, leather and polished concrete alike. For anyone who wants one fitting to anchor the table, this is a tidy answer.
The body and ceiling bar are black steel, and the light has no switch of its own: it is switched at the wall. 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. Packed, it weighs 3.787KG, a figure worth knowing before you lift the box. Choose three E27 bulbs of up to 40W each before the fitting day, so the light is ready to use from the very first evening.

Frequently Asked
Can the Fralvessa pendant go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs in dry indoor rooms such as a dining room, kitchen or living room, and never in a bathroom or anywhere outdoors.
Which bulbs does this pendant take?
Each of the three shades takes an E27 bulb of up to 40W. The bulbs are not included, so you will need three of your own.
How big is the light?
It is 85cm long, 15cm wide and 110cm high overall, a proportion that suits a long dining table or a kitchen island.
Does the light have its own switch?
No. There is no switch on the fitting itself, so you turn it on and off from the wall switch in the room.
What material are the shades?
Each shade is vaporised glass in a black-transparent smoked tint, so it softens the light while still letting the bulb inside stay visible.
What finish is the ceiling bar?
The body, ceiling bar included, is steel in a black finish, which pairs neatly with the smoked grey tone of the glass shades.
