Gisele Glass Pendant Light - White

This is a white glass pendant light with a soft, rounded barrel shade, the glass dappled all over with white flecks so that it reads as white from across the room while still letting the light through. It is made of glass and steel and measures 18cm across and 30cm tall overall, with the shade itself 18cm by 21cm. That is a compact size: large enough to give a side table, a desk or a hallway its own pool of light, and neat enough to hang several in a row over a long dining table without crowding the space.

Hang it wherever you want light close to where you sit: low over a dining table, beside the bed in place of a bedside lamp, above a reading chair or on a landing that needs more than a flush ceiling fitting. The black cable is 250cm long, a useful length in rooms with higher ceilings. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms such as the living room, bedroom, study or hallway. There is no switch on the cable, so it works from the wall switch in the room, which keeps the line of the cable clean and uncluttered.

It takes an E27 bulb, up to 40W incandescent, 4 to 6W LED or 14W CFL, and the bulb is not included. We would choose a warm LED: flecked glass softens a bare bulb, so the shade gives a gentle, dappled glow rather than a hard glare. Care is simple, a wipe with a moist cloth now and then. It weighs 2.1KG, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, hang it over a pale wooden table or against a warm plaster wall, where the white flecks and the black cable make a quiet, easy contrast.
