Description
The Rio is a linear chandelier made for a long surface: three dome shades hang in a row beneath a long straight bar, and the whole fitting is finished in matt white. The structure is iron, the bar hangs on two suspension wires, and a textile cable runs to the ceiling canopy. Each rounded dome is open underneath and sends its light downwards, so the three shades spread light along the length of whatever sits below them. It takes three GX53 lamps, one in each shade. Lamps are not included, so you choose the brightness and colour of light that suits your room. The cable is 2m long.
We see it over a dining table, a long sideboard or a desk in a home office, anywhere a row of light suits a long surface. In an open-plan living and dining space, the line of the bar helps mark out where the table sits. The look is modern and Scandinavian: clean shapes, a soft white and nothing fussy. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only, which suits dining rooms, living rooms, studies and bedrooms. It works from an on-off switch rather than a dimmer, giving a clear, steady light whenever you switch it on.
The structure is iron, finished in matt white, and the cable is textile, a practical and good-looking pairing for a fitting that hangs in full view. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. Because the shades sit in a straight line, position matters: centre the bar along the length of your table so the three domes fall evenly over the places where you sit. For styling, let the matt white sit against pale walls and natural wood for a calm, Scandinavian room, or hang it beneath a darker ceiling so the long white line stands out crisply.
