Description
The Riga is a modern pendant light that hangs two glass globes from a slim, arched frame in matt black iron. Each globe is a 10cm sphere of white glass, and the fitting has two G9 lamp holders; we recommend G9 LED lamps, which give a soft, even glow through the glass. It comes in two sizes, each named for its width. The 50cm size is 50cm wide, with two 10cm globes and an 8cm canopy. The 80cm size is 80cm wide, with the same two 10cm globes and the same 8cm canopy, so it spreads the pair of globes across a wider span.
We think the Riga suits rooms that want a gentle, ambient light rather than a bright wash. Hang it in a bedroom, above a dining table, over a desk in a study or in a living room, where the two globes read as a pair. The 50cm size sits comfortably over a smaller table or a desk, while the 80cm size spans a longer dining table or a wider room. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. It runs on 220-240V mains and is for a qualified electrician to install.
The structure is iron in a matt black finish, the two shades are glass and the fitting hangs on a 1.5m textile cable from a small round canopy, a simple mix that keeps the look light and uncluttered. It carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, matt black and white glass sit easily with oak, linen and pale painted walls, and they suit a modern room as well as a softer, more lived-in one. Over a dining table, let the globes hang low enough to glow at eye level without blocking the view across the table.
