Description
The Polverara is a two light bar pendant: a long black steel ceiling bar with two cylinders of amber glass hanging from slim black cords. It is 75cm long, 18cm wide and 150cm high overall, so it runs comfortably along the length of a dining table or kitchen island. Each shade is vaporised glass in a warm amber, and each takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W; bulbs are not included. It is rated IP20, which settles where it belongs: indoors and dry, in living spaces rather than bathrooms or porches.
Two shades on one bar spread light along a longer surface than a single pendant can manage, which is why bar pendants work so well over dining tables, breakfast bars and kitchen islands. The amber glass tints the light a soft honey colour, so a room feels warmer and more relaxed in the evening, and the black steel keeps the outline crisp against pale or dark walls. We think it suits a modern or industrial kitchen as readily as a cosy dining room, wherever you want warm light gathered over one long surface.
The body is black steel, and each shade hangs from a slim black lampholder, so the bulb sits in the centre of its glass cylinder. 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 ceiling light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. It weighs 4.98KG packed. Because the bulbs show through the glass, choose a bulb shape you enjoy, keeping each one to 40W or less.

Frequently Asked
Can the Polverara pendant hang in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means indoors and dry, so we would keep it to kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms and hallways.
Which bulbs does it take?
Each of the two shades takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W. Bulbs are not included, so you will need two.
How big is it?
It is 75cm long, 18cm wide and 150cm high overall, and the packed weight is 4.98KG.
Does it have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall, just like an ordinary ceiling light.
What colour is the glass?
The shades are vaporised glass in amber, which gives the light a warm, honeyed tone against the black steel body.
Can I see the bulbs through the shades?
Yes, the amber glass is see-through, so the bulb shows at the centre of each cylinder; choose a shape you enjoy.
