Description
Our orb pendant ceiling light brings a warm, sculptural focal point to the room, shaped from wood in a natural brown finish. The rounded orb form is built from slender wooden slats that curve around the central fitting, casting soft, layered shadows across the ceiling and walls once the bulb is lit. It measures 52cm in height and 42cm across, a generous scale that fills the space above a table or island without feeling heavy. The grain of the wood carries through each section, so the tone shifts gently between warm honey and deeper brown as the light moves over it.
This piece suits kitchens, dining areas and open-plan living rooms where you want a bit of texture overhead. Hang it low over a dining table to draw the eye down and frame the setting, or group two or three across a longer run for rhythm. The brown timber sits happily alongside neutral walls, exposed brick and mid-century furniture, and it softens cooler schemes built around greys and whites. As one of our warmer pendant lights, it works well paired with linen shades and rattan accents elsewhere in the room.
Practical to live with, the wooden frame needs little more than an occasional dust with a dry, soft cloth to keep the slats clear. Avoid damp cloths, which can mark the natural finish over time. We recommend fitting with a warm-toned bulb to make the most of the shadow play, and installation is best carried out by a qualified electrician.

The orb is formed from curved wooden slats in a natural brown finish, so the grain and tone vary slightly from piece to piece.
Where does this pendant work best?
It suits dining tables, kitchen islands and living areas. Hang it low over a table or group several along a longer surface for a considered look.
How large is it?
It stands 52cm tall and 42cm wide and deep, a good size for a central spot above furniture without overwhelming smaller rooms.
How do I clean the wooden frame?
Dust the slats with a dry, soft cloth now and then. Keep the wood away from damp cloths and moisture to protect the finish.
What bulb should I use?
A warm-toned bulb brings out the shadow patterns cast by the slats. Ask a qualified electrician to fit the light for you.
