Description
The Rio 9 Circular Chandelier is a wide, low ring of iron in matt white, with small dome shades hung around its edge so the light falls downward in soft pools. It measures 79cm across and 9.5cm tall, and each shade is 9cm in diameter. The ring is suspended from a 14cm round ceiling canopy and fed by a 2m textile cable. The shades take GX53 lamps, a flat, compact cap that sits neatly within a shallow shade. It runs on 220 to 240V mains and is an on-off switched fitting rather than a dimmable one, so it works from a standard switch with no dimmer to match.
At 79cm across, it is made for a room with space to give it. Centred over a round or square dining table, it spreads light across the table top, and its shallow 9.5cm profile keeps the look airy rather than heavy, so it sits just as comfortably in a living room or a generous hallway. The matt white finish reads quietly against a pale ceiling and suits a modern or Scandinavian scheme, while the ring gives an open-plan space a clear centre to gather around. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only: the living and dining spaces of the house rather than anywhere damp.
The structure is iron, finished in matt white, and the fitting hangs on textile cable, a softer detail than plastic flex that looks right where the cable stays on view. It is a mains fitting, for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, keep the room around it simple: a pale timber table, linen and a few plain ceramics let the white ring and its circle of little domes do the talking, and warm white GX53 lamps keep the light gentle for long evening meals with family and friends.
