Twist 1 Light Pendant Light - Gloss White & Polished Chrome

The Twist is a 480mm pendant light built around a spiraling white acrylic shade that curves through a continuous twist, forming a sculptural form reminiscent of a folded ribbon frozen mid-motion. A polished chrome ceiling canopy caps the top, and the shade houses a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately). The drop is adjustable between 550mm and 1500mm on installation, allowing the pendant to be set higher or lower depending on ceiling height and the surface beneath.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and entrance halls where a single statement pendant is needed rather than a multi-light arrangement, the Twist suits contemporary interiors with a preference for organic form over geometric precision. The 480mm diameter gives the shade enough presence to register as a focal point above a 1200-1400mm dining table or a kitchen island up to 1800mm long. The adjustable drop allows the pendant to sit 700-850mm above a table surface when hung from a standard 2.4m ceiling, or lower where ceiling heights are taller.

The gloss white acrylic finish is smooth and non-porous, so dust and kitchen grease wipe clean with a damp microfibre cloth. The twisted form creates different shadow patterns depending on bulb choice and dimmer setting — a clear filament bulb casts sharper shadows that trace the spiral contour, while a frosted LED softens the edge. The polished chrome canopy reflects ceiling light during the day and adds a metallic accent that pairs with chrome tap fittings, cabinet handles and appliance finishes. At 2.4kg the pendant needs secure ceiling fixing into a joist or robust ceiling rose.

What bulb does it take?

The Twist uses a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to the maximum wattage specified by Mantra for safe operation. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K, or a visible filament bulb for a vintage aesthetic.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you use a dimmable bulb and pair it with a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant itself has no electronics that prevent dimming — dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulb you choose.

What ceiling height is needed?

The adjustable drop works in rooms with ceiling heights from 2.4m upwards. For a dining table or kitchen island the pendant typically sits 700-850mm above the surface when hung from a 2.4m ceiling. Taller ceilings allow the drop to be extended up to 1500mm.

How is the acrylic shade cleaned?

The gloss white acrylic wipes clean with a damp microfibre cloth. For kitchen grease or stubborn marks, a tiny amount of mild washing-up liquid in warm water works well. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which will scratch the gloss finish.
