Description
The Rio 9 Circular Chandelier is a wide ring of light in a warm terracotta finish. A slim iron ring, 79cm across and just 9.5cm tall, carries a series of dome shades, each 9cm wide, that hang beneath it and open downwards over the room. Fine suspension wires hold the ring level from a 14cm ceiling canopy, and a 2m textile cable carries the power. It runs on 220-240V mains and takes GX53 lamps, the flat, low-profile lamp type that suits shades this compact.
This is a chandelier for a room with space around it. At 79cm across, the ring sits well over a round or large square dining table, where its circle of shades echoes the shape of the table, or at the centre of a generous living room or open-plan dining area. The terracotta brings an earthy warmth that suits modern and Scandinavian interiors, and it pairs well with pale oak, linen, limewashed walls and soft whites. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. It works from an ordinary on-off wall switch rather than a dimmer, so we would plan any softer evening light from table or floor lamps elsewhere in the room.
The structure is iron with a terracotta finish, and the textile cable adds a soft, tailored detail where it rises to the ceiling. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, we would hang it centred over the table with the ring a little narrower than the tabletop, so every shade sits within its edge, then let the terracotta pick up a warm wood, a clay vase or a rust-toned cushion nearby.
