Description
The Maris is a 16-light crystal island chandelier built around a rectangular polished chrome frame filled with interlocking, faceted crystal elements arranged in a continuous wave pattern. Each element is precision-cut to catch and refract light from 16 E14 SES bulb positions (bulbs sold separately), suspended on four cables from a 1000mm x 250mm rectangular chrome ceiling plate.
Designed for long dining tables and kitchen islands, the Maris needs ceiling heights of 2.6m or above to allow the 35cm-deep chandelier to hang with clearance above head height when seated. The linear form suits rectangular tables and island counters between 2.4m and 3.2m in length, where the fixture can be centred lengthwise. The chrome frame and crystal construction give the fitting substantial visual density and a 25kg weight that requires adequate ceiling fixing.
The faceted crystal elements sit in rows within the chrome armature, each layer offset to create a scalloped profile that breaks up light into multiple refraction points when the bulbs are lit. The polished chrome finish amplifies brightness by reflecting light back through the crystal mass, intensifying the output across the fixture. The linear configuration works in both contemporary open-plan kitchens and more formal dining rooms where the table acts as the room's anchor.
The wave pattern of the crystal creates a rhythmic, textured surface that reads differently from each viewing angle, from directly below the chandelier appears dense and layered, from the side the individual crystal rows become more visible. The chrome and crystal pairing suits interiors with glass, mirror, high-gloss cabinetry or polished stone surfaces where the reflective qualities reinforce the material palette.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Maris take?
The Maris takes 16 E14 SES (Small Edison Screw) bulbs, each rated to a maximum of 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to reduce heat output and running costs while maintaining the refracted crystal effect.
What table length does it suit?
The 1000mm length of the fixture suits dining tables and kitchen islands between 2.4m and 3.2m in length when centred. For tables longer than 3.2m, consider pairing two Maris chandeliers or selecting a larger linear fixture to maintain visual balance.
How is it installed with a 25kg weight?
The 25kg weight requires a ceiling fixing rated for the load. The rectangular ceiling plate distributes fixing points, but a qualified electrician should confirm the ceiling structure can support the mass before installation. Plasterboard ceilings typically need additional bracing or fixing into joists.
Is the suspension height adjustable?
The cables are adjustable on installation to suit ceiling height. For dining tables the chandelier typically hangs 700-900mm above the table surface, which requires a minimum ceiling height of 2.6m when accounting for the 35cm depth of the fixture itself.
