Description
The Reiko is a flat pendant light: a shallow dome of aluminium in a matt white finish, capped by a round base of natural ash wood and hung on a textile cable. The fitting is 15cm tall, with a 21cm shade, so it is a compact pendant that reads low and wide rather than tall. The matt white surface is soft rather than glossy, and the pale grain of the ash brings a little warmth to the cool white curve. Light falls downward from the open underside of the dome, putting it where you need it on the surface below.
Because the shade is small, the Reiko suits places where a full-size pendant would crowd the space. Hang one over a bedside table in place of a lamp, over a desk or reading chair, or in a hallway or on a landing where a simple fitting is all that is wanted. Over a dining table or a breakfast bar, two or three in a line give an even spread of downward light without blocking the view across the table. Its Scandinavian, modern look sits comfortably with pale timber and white schemes, and alongside oak or ash furniture. We would keep it to dry rooms indoors.
The materials are plain and honest. The shade is aluminium with a matt white finish, the base is natural ash wood, and the cable is covered in textile, which looks more finished than a plastic flex where it hangs in view. The ash base sits at the top of the dome and frames it, while the 8cm canopy at the ceiling stays small and neat, keeping the eye on the shade. For styling, let the Reiko pick up the other natural materials in the room: linen, rattan, pale wood and stoneware all suit it, and a pair hung over a table gives a calm, balanced look.
