Description
The Valenro is a 1000mm linear pendant built around 28 cylindrical alabaster shades arranged along a horizontal brass bar. Each cylinder is cut from natural Spanish alabaster and lit by a G4 lamp socket, giving 28 individual points of warm light across the length of the fitting. The bar is finished in Soft White & Brass and hangs from two vertical brass rods with sculpted, textured upper sections that meet a slim rectangular ceiling plate.
Designed for long dining tables, kitchen islands and boardroom tables of 1.6m or longer, the Valenro provides directed downlight along the full surface beneath it. The 1000mm bar length suits tables seating 6-10, and the 460mm overall drop (160mm fitting plus 300mm rod) places the alabaster cylinders at a typical 700-800mm above the table when fitted to a 2.7m ceiling. The G4 sockets accept standard low-voltage capsule bulbs, sold separately.
The alabaster shades are honed rather than polished, leaving the surface with a soft matt feel that reveals the stone's natural veining and tonal shifts. Translucency varies cylinder to cylinder, so once lit no two shades read identically, denser mineral areas hold light back while milkier sections glow through. The brass bar measures 210mm wide and carries the cylinders in two staggered rows, doubling the visual density without lengthening the fitting.
The textured brass detail on the suspension rods contrasts with the clean machined edges of the horizontal bar, mixing a sculptural element with the otherwise architectural geometry. The result is a long-format pendant that reads as a single horizontal composition rather than a row of separate lights.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Valenro take?
The fitting uses 28 x G4 lamp sockets, which accept standard low-voltage G4 capsule bulbs. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED G4 capsules between 2W and 3W at 2700K-3000K to match the warm glow of the alabaster.
What size table does it suit?
The 1000mm bar length suits dining tables, kitchen islands and boardroom tables of around 1.6m to 2.4m, typically seating 6-10. As a guide, the pendant works best when the bar is 400-600mm shorter than the table so the light falls cleanly within the table footprint.
How far does it hang below the ceiling?
The overall drop is 460mm, 160mm for the fitting itself plus a 300mm suspension rod. On a standard 2.4m ceiling this places the cylinders around 700mm above a typical 750mm-high dining table.
Does the alabaster vary between cylinders?
Yes. Each of the 28 cylinders is cut from natural Spanish alabaster, so veining, translucency and tonal density differ from one shade to the next. This is a feature of the natural stone, not a defect, and becomes most visible once the lamps are lit.
