Nordica 1 Light Pendant Light - Black & Beech With Black Shade

The Nordica is a single-light pendant combining a beech wood arm with matt black metal fittings and a 550mm tapered black fabric shade. The beech arm extends from a circular matt black ceiling plate at an angle, supporting the shade on a braided textile cable that adjusts between 440mm and 1300mm drop. The E27 bulb fitting sits inside the shade, which diffuses light downwards and outwards through the woven black fabric.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and living areas needing focused downlight with a Scandinavian aesthetic, the Nordica works in rooms with ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards. The 550mm shade diameter suits tables 1.2-1.6m wide and provides enough spread for four-person dining without overwhelming smaller spaces. The adjustable drop allows the pendant to be set 700-900mm above a table surface depending on ceiling height, or higher for ambient wash lighting in an open-plan room.

The beech wood arm provides warmth against the matt black metalwork, creating contrast without stark industrial heaviness. The black fabric shade has a tight weave that controls glare while allowing warm light to filter through the material when the bulb is lit. The braided cable echoes the textile quality of the shade and conceals the electrical core within a flexible outer sleeve. At 2.7kg the pendant has enough weight to hang stably without swaying, but remains light enough for standard ceiling fixings.

The Nordica accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to the maximum wattage stated in the specification (bulbs sold separately). Dimmable bulbs paired with a compatible trailing-edge or leading-edge dimmer allow light output to be adjusted from full brightness down to low ambient levels for evening dining.

What bulb does the Nordica take?

The pendant takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. The maximum wattage depends on bulb type — most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED at 2700K-3000K for dining. Bulbs are sold separately.

Is the Nordica dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with a dimmable E27 bulb and paired with a compatible dimmer switch. Both the bulb and the dimmer must support the same dimming protocol (leading-edge or trailing-edge) for smooth dimming without flicker.

What drop length is recommended for a dining table?

For a standard 2.4-2.6m ceiling height, set the pendant 700-900mm above the table surface. The adjustable cable allows the drop to be shortened or lengthened on installation to suit your specific ceiling height and table position.

Can the beech arm be angled or adjusted after installation?

No. The beech arm is fixed at a set angle from the ceiling plate. The only adjustable element is the overall drop length via the braided cable, which is set during installation.
