Description
The Roi is a ribbed opal glass dome that fixes flush to a ceiling or to a wall, held in a slim band of polished brass. The glass is fluted all the way round in fine ribs running from rim to crown, so the light from its single G9 lamp holder comes through soft and even, with each rib catching a thin line of brightness as it curves away from the base. The dome shade is 12cm across and stands 8.5cm high, and the brass base is 10cm wide and 2cm high, which keeps the fitting compact and tidy. We would fit a G9 LED lamp, the type the maker recommends.
Because it fixes flush, with no stem, the Roi suits places where headroom is short or a pendant would be in the way: a hallway, a landing, a walk-in wardrobe, a box room or a small study. On a wall it gives a soft glow at eye level along a corridor or beside a bed; on a ceiling it lights a compact room without hanging down into it. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. The modern shape sits in a plain, pared-back scheme or a warmer one with timber and linen, and the opal glass keeps glare low where people sit or read close by.
The base is brass with a polished finish and the shade is glass, a simple pairing of two materials that gives the Roi its warm metal edge against the cool white of the opal dome. It runs on 220-240V mains, so it is for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, we like a pair on a hallway wall either side of a mirror or a console table, or a run of them down a long corridor, where the polished brass bands and fluted glass repeat in an orderly line.
