Description
The Rio is a ceiling light with a deep dome shade in green, and it fixes flush to the ceiling on a slim round canopy. It is a compact fitting, 17cm tall and 16cm across, with an 8cm canopy, and its iron structure gives the dome a clean, even outline with no stem or chain. Inside the shade is one GX53 lamp holder, and the open base of the dome sends the light straight down into the room. The shape is simple and rounded, a modern dome that keeps the ceiling looking uncluttered.
With no stem to hang into the room, the Rio suits spaces where headroom matters: a hallway or landing with a lower ceiling, a small bedroom, a box room or a study, where a pendant would sit in the way. Its modest size suits compact rooms, and several along a corridor give an even run of light. The green finish brings a calm colour to a modern or Scandinavian scheme and sits well with pale timber, white walls and natural textiles. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. It is an on-off fitting, worked from a standard light switch rather than a dimmer.
The structure is iron, finished in green, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. It is a mains fitting rated for 220-240V, so it is for a qualified electrician to install. The rounded dome and the small canopy read as one piece, so the fitting looks tidy from below as well as from across the room. For styling, let the shade carry the colour: set it against a white or soft grey ceiling and pick up the green in a cushion, a plant pot or a painted door, so the fitting feels part of the scheme.
