Reiko Flat Pendant Light with Wood Base - Terracotta

The Reiko flat pendant light pairs a wide, shallow aluminium dome in a matt terracotta finish with a base of natural ash wood. The wood sits on top of the shade as a round collar, so the textile cable drops into warm timber before the curve of the metal begins, and the pale grain sets off the earthy colour beautifully. It is 15cm tall and 21cm across, a compact pendant that stays in proportion over a small table and looks just as good hung in a row of two or three. The dome is open underneath, so it sends its light down onto whatever sits below it.

Its clean lines and natural materials suit the modern and Scandinavian interiors we see most often, where a single warm colour does a lot of work. We like it over a small dining table or a bistro set, above a desk where a pool of light helps you focus, or hung beside the bed in place of a lamp to free up the bedside table. A pair over a breakfast bar gives a relaxed, café feel. It is an indoor fitting for dry living spaces such as living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and studies.

The shade is made of aluminium and the base of natural ash wood, with a textile cable completing a fitting built from honest, simple materials. The cable runs from an 8cm ceiling canopy, small enough to sit neatly on most ceilings. As a mains fitting, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. For styling, let the terracotta pick up other warm, earthy notes in the room: oak or walnut furniture, linen in oatmeal or rust, and plants all sit happily with it, while a white or soft grey wall lets the colour stand out. Hung low over a table, the ash collar catches the eye as much as the shade.
