Description
The Rio Linear 5 Light Chandelier sets five small dome shades in a straight row beneath a slim horizontal bar, all in matt black. It is 120cm long and 14cm tall, and each shade is 12cm across, so the light comes from five points spaced along its length rather than from one. The structure is iron and the supply cable is textile, running in a soft curve from one end of the bar to a small 8cm ceiling canopy, while two fine suspension wires carry the bar itself. It takes five GX53 lamps, one in each shade, and runs on a 220-240V mains supply.
A linear chandelier is made for a long surface, and at 120cm this one sits well over a rectangular dining table, a long desk or a sideboard in a dining room, living room, study or open-plan space. Its clean lines and matt black finish suit modern and Scandinavian rooms, and it looks just as at home against pale walls and natural wood as it does in a darker scheme. 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 it is a simple, everyday light for the rooms you use most.
The iron structure is finished in matt black, with shades to match, and the textile cable is 2m long, its soft curve giving the fitting a relaxed line. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, centre it along the length of your table so the five shades follow the line of the top. Against a pale wall, the black bar and shades draw one crisp line across the room, which suits a pared-back interior with plenty of natural texture, from linen and oak to woven baskets.
