Rio Dome Pendant Light - Green

The Rio is a compact dome pendant light in green, its rounded shade hanging from a slim stem and a textile cable. We sell it in three sizes, each named for the width of its shade. The 9cm size has a shade 9cm across and 8cm tall, the 12cm size has a shade 12cm across and 11cm tall, and the 16cm size has a shade 16cm across and 15cm tall. All three sizes share an 8cm ceiling canopy. The shade is open at the base, so its light is directed down onto whatever sits beneath it, which makes the Rio a pendant for lighting a particular spot rather than a whole room.

With its plain modern lines and a Scandinavian simplicity, the Rio sits as comfortably in a home as in a working space. Hang one low beside the bed in place of a table lamp, or above a desk or a reading chair where you want light without clutter. The 9cm and 12cm sizes suit tighter spots, such as a narrow hallway, a landing or a small study, while the 16cm size has a little more presence over a dining table or a breakfast bar. In a café, a shop or a reception area, a row of them along a counter marks out the space without crowding it. It is a fitting for indoor use in dry rooms.

The Rio has an iron structure in a green finish, and it hangs on a textile cable, which looks neater than plain plastic flex where the cable is on view. It is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, try the three sizes together at staggered heights over a long table, or let a single green shade bring a quiet note of colour to a room of white walls and pale wood.
