Taria Cylinder Pendant Light - Ash

The Taria Cylinder Pendant Light is a slim cylinder of ash wood that hangs on a black textile cable, a single light fitting with one GU10 lamp holder. It comes in two sizes, each named for the height of its shade. The 14cm version has a shade 14cm tall and 5cm across; the 24cm version has a shade 24cm tall and 5cm across. Both hang from a 10cm ceiling canopy on a 1.5m cable. The lamp sits inside the base of the cylinder, so the light points straight down onto whatever lies beneath. The GU10 lamp is not included, which leaves you free to pick the bulb and the warmth of light you prefer.

Its clean, modern lines and pale wood suit Scandinavian interiors and any room that wants warmth without fuss. We like it low over a dining table, where a narrow shade lights the table without blocking the view across it, and beside the bed in place of a table lamp, freeing the bedside for books. It works over a desk in a home study, at the end of a hallway or in a reading corner. The 14cm size suits a lower ceiling or a tight spot, while the 24cm size gives a longer, more upright line. The IP20 rating means it is for dry rooms only.

The structure is ash and the cable is textile, so the fitting has a warm, natural look that lets the grain of the wood do the talking. It runs on 220-240V and works from an ordinary on-off switch. It carries a 2 year guarantee, and as a mains fitting it is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, hang three in a row over a long dining table, or pair the 14cm and 24cm sizes at different heights for a staggered line of pale wood.
