Description
The Sarmarne is a wooden pendant light: a round shade built from curved slats in a maple colour, with a body of steel in a satin nickel finish. The shade is 50cm in diameter and the light measures 150cm overall, from the ceiling canopy to the base of the sphere, so it suits a room with good ceiling height. It takes a single E27 bulb of up to 60W, and the bulb is not included. Rated IP20, it is made for dry rooms indoors, which settles where it belongs: a living room, dining room, bedroom or hallway rather than a bathroom or a garden.
At 50cm in diameter the sphere has real presence, so we picture it over a dining table, in a stairwell or at the centre of a generous living room, where it can be admired from every side. The slats curve from top to bottom with narrow gaps between them, so light passes between the slats and the bulb is glimpsed through the gaps. The maple colour sits well beside oak floors, linen, rattan and soft neutral walls, while the satin nickel canopy and lampholder add a cool note against the wood. For a natural or Scandinavian scheme, it is an easy pendant to choose.
The steel body comes in a satin nickel finish, matched by the ceiling canopy, and the shade is wood in a maple colour. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, so it works from the room's wall switch. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and, as a wired-in ceiling light, is installed by a qualified electrician, with the installation instructions available as a download. It weighs 3.169KG packed. Because the bulb shows between the slats, a decorative E27 bulb is worth choosing, and wood stays at its best dusted with a soft, dry cloth rather than wiped wet.

Frequently Asked
Can the Sarmarne pendant go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry rooms indoors, so it belongs in a living room, dining room, bedroom or hallway rather than a bathroom or a garden.
What bulb does this pendant take?
It takes a single E27 bulb of up to 60W. The bulb is not included, and because it shows between the slats, a decorative bulb is a good choice.
How big is the wooden shade?
The shade is 50cm in diameter, and the light measures 150cm overall from the ceiling canopy to the base of the shade, so it is worth checking the room's ceiling height first.
Does the light have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the light. It is switched at the wall, so you turn it on and off at the room's wall switch.
What material is the shade?
The shade is wood in a maple colour, built from curved slats that form a sphere, while the body is steel in a satin nickel finish.
How should I clean the wooden shade?
Wood is best dusted with a soft, dry cloth, taking care with the slats; we would avoid wiping the shade with a wet cloth or soaking it.
