Description
Rita is a slim pendant light built around a tall column of porous concrete in black, with an iron head beneath it and a flat iron disc where the two meet. The disc gives the narrow cylindrical form a crisp edge, and the open iron head sends the light straight down. The fitting is 41cm tall and hangs from an 8cm canopy on 1.5m of textile cable. It takes one GU10 lamp, a common cap, so finding a replacement lamp later is straightforward.
Because the light falls downward in a pool, this pendant does its best work over something: a dining table, a desk, a bedside or a favourite reading chair. Hang several in a row over a long table, or at staggered heights, and the black concrete columns read as a set of strong vertical lines. The style is modern with an industrial edge, so it sits as comfortably in a plain contemporary room as in a converted warehouse flat. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms indoors, and it runs on 220-240V.
The structure is porous concrete, so its surface carries small pits and a slightly rough, matt texture, set against the smoother black iron of the head and disc. The textile cable suits those honest materials. Rita is switched on and off rather than dimmed, and as a mains fitting it is for a qualified electrician to install. It carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, let the contrast do the work: against pale walls, light upholstery or warm timber, the dark concrete and black iron stand out cleanly, and a run of them over a table keeps the look calm and ordered.
