Description
The Pignona is a ceiling light that sits close overhead on a round black steel canopy, with three tiered shades woven from textile thread. The widest is a broad, shallow disc in warm orange. Beneath it sits a deeper cone in a rich red, and at the centre a cream shade surrounds the bulb. It measures 50cm in diameter and 21cm high, so it covers a good area of ceiling without hanging low into the room. It takes a single E27 screw-cap bulb, which is not included, and it is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in a dry room.
Because it sits close to the ceiling, it suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms where a long pendant would crowd the space. The layered cord shades bring warmth and texture to a plain white ceiling, and they sit happily alongside natural wood, cane and soft neutral furnishings. Unlit, the colours still give the room a focal point, and when lit, the open weave lets light pass between the threads. If you want colour overhead without painting or papering, this is an easy way to add it.
The canopy is black steel, and each shade is textile thread wound over a slim frame. You can see the frame as fine dark ribs when you look up into the light. From that angle the three shades form concentric rings of radiating thread, so the light looks just as considered from the sofa as it does from the doorway. The cream inner shade is an open weave and leaves the bulb partly visible, so a decorative filament or globe bulb is a good choice. It runs on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz supply and is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions are available as a download. The packed weight is 3KG.

Frequently Asked
Can the Pignona go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors in a dry room such as a living room, bedroom or dining room, never a bathroom or outdoors.
Does the Pignona come with a bulb?
No, the bulb is not included. It takes a single E27 screw-cap bulb. The cream inner shade is an open weave, so a decorative filament or globe bulb is a good choice.
How big is the Pignona ceiling light?
It measures 50cm in diameter and 21cm high, so it covers a generous area of ceiling while staying close overhead.
What material are the shades?
The three tiered shades are woven from textile thread in orange, red and cream over a slim frame, and they sit beneath a round canopy of black steel.
Will the Pignona work on a low ceiling?
At 21cm high it sits close to the ceiling rather than hanging on a long drop, which makes it a sensible choice where headroom is limited.
