Description
The Paola is a 640mm diameter chandelier with six E14 bulb fittings arranged across three silver-painted metal arms, each arm supporting two cream fabric shades. Small black crystal droplets hang beneath each arm, adding subtle reflection without dominating the overall composition. The chandelier weighs 2.8kg and requires a ceiling rose capable of supporting pendant fittings of this weight class.
Designed for dining rooms, larger bedrooms and living areas with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, the Paola works where both ambient and decorative function are needed. The adjustable drop ranges from 650mm to 1650mm, allowing installation at dining table height (typically 700-800mm above the surface) or as a feature piece in double-height entrance halls. The three-arm symmetry creates a balanced footprint when viewed from below, avoiding the visual weight of traditional multi-tier chandeliers while still providing six light sources.
The cream fabric shades diffuse light from the E14 bulbs (sold separately) and reduce glare, making the chandelier suitable for positions where the fitting is viewed at eye level when seated. The silver-painted finish on the metal frame provides a cooler metallic tone than brass or gold alternatives, pairing well with grey, blue and white colour schemes. The black crystal droplets introduce a contrasting accent that ties the fitting to interiors using both warm and cool tones. The frame curvature is hand-formed, so minor variation in arm angles can occur between individual pieces.
A single E14 bulb sits inside each of the six cream shades, so light output scales with the lamp chosen for each socket.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Paola take?
The chandelier takes six E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. We suggest pairing this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for ambient dining or living room lighting.
Is the Paola dimmable?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable E14 bulbs and pair the chandelier with a compatible dimmer switch. Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulb and dimmer model.
What drop height is best for a dining table?
For a dining table, the chandelier typically sits 700-800mm above the table surface. With the 650mm minimum drop, this works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The chain can be shortened during installation to suit lower ceilings.
Can the cream shades be cleaned?
The fabric shades attract dust over time. Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment or wipe with a barely-damp microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric or using household sprays, as this can leave watermarks or discolour the cream finish.
