Rodi Bamboo Pendant Light - Natural

Rodi is a woven bamboo pendant light with a rounded, gently flattened globe shape that is wider than it is tall, measuring 42cm across and 30cm tall. The shade is made from 100% bamboo in a natural finish, woven into an open diamond lattice that closes at the top into a thick plaited collar, with two slim bamboo rods running through it where the black cable enters. Because the weave is open, the shade looks light and airy rather than solid, and at 0.5KG it is easy to lift into place.

Its 42cm width makes it a good size to hang over a dining table or a kitchen table, and it works just as well in a living room, bedroom or hallway. The 175cm black cable gives a long drop for a room with a high ceiling. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. Bamboo sits comfortably with rattan, wood, linen and plants, which makes it an easy fit for a relaxed, natural scheme, and a cluster of shades hung at different heights over a table or in a stairwell gives a softer, layered look than a single fitting.

The shade takes an E27 screw bulb of up to 40W; the bulb is not included. There is no switch on the cable, so the light works from your wall switch, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. Care is simple: wipe the bamboo clean with a moist cloth, which also lifts the dust that settles in an open weave. For styling, choose a bulb with a visible filament, since it shows through the lattice, and let the natural bamboo do the work against a plain painted wall.
