Description
The Paola is a 95cm diameter chandelier carrying eight E14 bulb fittings, each set beneath a black fabric shade mounted on a silver-painted curved arm. The arms rise from a central column in symmetrical pairs, looping outward and upward before terminating in the shade holders. Below the frame, eight small droplet finials hang from the base of each arm, adding subtle reflective detail without dominating the overall form.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above, the Paola pairs ambient and task lighting. The black shades direct light downward onto table surfaces or seating areas while the light-coloured inner lining allows a softer upward glow. The adjustable drop between 800mm and 1500mm accommodates different ceiling heights — typically 700-900mm above a dining table works for most installations. The chandelier weighs 8.5kg and requires secure ceiling fixing suitable for the load.
The silver-painted finish on the metal framework gives a mid-tone metallic surface that sits between polished chrome and antique brass, pairing comfortably with both warm and cool interior palettes. The black fabric shades create high contrast against the silver frame, giving the chandelier a defined presence in daytime and a dramatic silhouette when lit. The curved arms follow a consistent rhythm around the central column, forming a circular plan that reads clearly from below.
The Paola takes eight E14 bulbs (sold separately), allowing flexibility to choose light output, colour temperature and dimmer compatibility based on the bulbs selected. The chandelier itself is rated dimmable when paired with dimmable E14 lamps and a compatible dimmer switch. From Spanish brand Mantra, the Paola carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Paola take?
The chandelier takes eight E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) for dining room use. Total wattage depends on the bulbs chosen.
Is the Paola dimmable?
Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier frame itself supports dimming but requires dimmable lamps to function.
What ceiling height is needed?
The adjustable drop of 800-1500mm allows the chandelier to be set between these limits during installation. For a dining table, positioning the chandelier 700-900mm above the table surface typically works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.6m or above.
What's the installation requirement for the weight?
The chandelier weighs 8.5kg. The ceiling fixing point must be capable of supporting this load safely. If the existing ceiling rose or fixing is not rated for 8.5kg or above, a structural fixing should be installed by a qualified electrician before hanging the chandelier.
