Rio Dome Pendant Light - Yellow

The Rio pendant light is a compact domed shade in yellow, hung from a slim stem on a textile cable. The shade is made of iron, with a rounded crown that runs down into straight sides and an open base, so its light is directed down onto the table, counter or chair beneath it. We sell it in three sizes, each named for its shade diameter. The 9cm size has a 9cm shade that stands 8cm tall. The 12cm size has a 12cm shade that stands 11cm tall. The 16cm size has a 16cm shade that stands 15cm tall. All three sizes hang from the same 8cm ceiling canopy.

Its clean modern lines and Scandinavian simplicity suit a kitchen, a dining room, a home office or a bedroom. The 9cm and 12cm sizes fit tight spots, such as beside the bed where a hanging light frees up the bedside table, or in a row along a kitchen island. The 16cm size has a little more presence over a desk or a small dining table. Because the three sizes share one shape and one canopy, they also mix well: hang a group of different sizes together over a breakfast bar for a relaxed, layered look. The yellow brings a warm, cheerful note to a room.

The structure is iron and the cable is covered in textile, which looks softer and neater than plain plastic flex where it runs down from the ceiling. As a mains ceiling fitting, the Rio is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, let the yellow sit against white walls, pale oak and linen for a calm Scandinavian room, or set it beside deep blue or soft grey for more contrast.
