Reiko Flat Pendant Light with Wood Base - Matt Black

The Reiko is a pendant light with a shallow, flat dome shade in matt black aluminium, set beneath a cylindrical base of natural ash wood and hung on a textile cable. The wood sits on top of the shade like a deep collar, its pale grain meeting the black metal in a clean, level line. It is 15cm tall and 21cm across, with an 8cm canopy at the ceiling, which makes it a compact pendant that hangs neatly without crowding a room. The dome opens downwards, towards whatever sits beneath it.

Its size suits the places where a pendant hangs close to what it lights: over a dining table, above a desk, or beside a bed in place of a table lamp. Hung on its own, it gives a small round table a focus; hung in a row over a longer table, the domes line up neatly and repeat the black and ash pairing along its length. The plain lines and modern, Scandinavian character sit easily in a pared-back interior, and the warm wood keeps the matt black from feeling stark. It works just as well in a reading corner or over a hall console, wherever a small pendant is wanted. This is an indoor pendant.

The shade is aluminium in a matt black finish and the base is natural ash wood, so its grain is the real thing; the cable is textile covered rather than plain plastic. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install. When styling it, pick up the ash with oak or pale wood furniture and linen in natural tones, or hang it against a white or soft grey wall, where the black dome reads as a crisp, simple shape.
