Description
The Joressa is a two-tier glass chandelier: eighteen candle lights sit on arms of twisted cognac glass, with strings of faceted glass droplets swagged between them and a cognac glass bowl at the centre. It hangs on a chrome chain from a chrome ceiling canopy, and the steel body is finished in chrome, which shows on the canopy, the chain and the candle sleeves. Overall it stands 150cm tall and measures 100cm in diameter, so this pendant is made for a generous room. It takes eighteen E14 bulbs of up to 40W each, and the bulbs are not included. The IP20 rating settles where it goes: indoors, in a dry room.
We think it looks its best above a long dining table, where the cognac glass catches the light from every arm and the droplets add sparkle. It would sit just as happily in a formal living room or a hallway with a high ceiling. Plan the height with care: at 150cm overall it wants a tall room, with enough clearance that the lowest droplets stay well above head height. The cognac glass has a warmer tone than clear glass, which sits well with wood, cream and dark painted walls, while the chrome keeps the whole piece bright rather than heavy.
Every lamp holder takes an E14 bulb, and a candle-shaped bulb suits the chrome sleeves best. There is no switch on the pendant itself, so it runs from your wall switch on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz supply. As a mains light that is wired in, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. It weighs 20.195KG packed, so have a second pair of hands ready when you unpack it.

Frequently Asked
Can the Joressa go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry rooms indoors, such as a dining room, living room or hallway.
Which bulbs does this chandelier need?
It takes eighteen E14 bulbs with a maximum of 40W each. The bulbs are not included, and candle-shaped ones suit the chrome sleeves.
How big is the Joressa pendant?
It is 150cm tall overall and 100cm in diameter, so it suits a dining room or living room with a generous ceiling height.
What colour is the glass?
The arms, droplets and centre bowl are cognac glass, a warm amber tone, set against a steel body finished in chrome.
Does the chandelier have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the fitting itself. It is switched at the wall, so it runs from a wall switch in the room.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 20.195KG packed, so we suggest two people share the unpacking of so much glass.
