Description
The Persley is a linear pendant light for the ceiling: a long, slim black steel bar carries a row of tapered paper shades, each one woven in black so light filters through the weave in soft lines. It measures 92cm long, 22cm wide and 110cm high overall, which gives a dining table a single, unbroken line of light along its length. Each shade takes an E27 bulb, and the bulbs are not included, so you choose the colour and brightness that suit the room. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in a dry room.
We see it most at home over a dining table, where the shades hang in a straight row and light the plates and faces beneath them. It also suits a kitchen island or a breakfast bar in an open-plan room, anywhere a single pendant would look lost. The black weave sits happily with warm wood, house plants and pale walls, and the paper softens the glare of a bare bulb, so the table is lit without dazzling the people seated around it. For a long table that a single shade cannot cover, it is a neat answer.
The body is black steel, and steel is strong and rigid, a good partner for a light this long. At 4.14KG it has real weight. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall and runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in ceiling light it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Paper softens when it gets wet, so a soft dry brush or a feather duster is the best way to keep the weave free of dust and looking crisp.

Frequently Asked
Can the Persley go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is meant for dry indoor rooms only, such as a dining room, kitchen or living room.
Which bulbs does it take?
Each shade takes an E27 bulb. The bulbs are not included, so you can choose the brightness and colour of light that suit your room.
How big is the Persley pendant?
It is 92cm long, 22cm wide and 110cm high overall, and it weighs 4.14KG, which suits a long dining table well.
What material are the shades?
The shades are black paper with a woven look, while the body is black steel, so the whole light reads as one colour.
Does it have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, so it works from the light switch on your wall.
How should I clean the paper shades?
Paper softens when it gets wet, so use a soft dry brush or a feather duster to lift dust gently from the weave.
