Description
The Vornessa is a six-light linear pendant: a long black steel ceiling bar with six capsule-shaped shades of grey vaporised glass, each hanging from a slim black cord at a staggered height. It is 138cm long and 14cm wide, with an overall height of 110cm, so it spans the length of a good-sized dining table rather than lighting a single spot. Each of the six holders takes an E27 bulb of up to 4W, and the bulbs are not included, which leaves the choice of bulb to you. It is rated IP20, so it belongs indoors in a dry room.
A long bar of light like this is made for a dining table, a kitchen island or a breakfast bar, where one central pendant would leave the ends of the surface in shadow. Six points of light spread along the full length give everyone around the table a share of the glow, and the grey tinted glass gives each bulb a softer, smoky look. The black steel and grey glass suit a modern or industrial interior, and the staggered drops give the ceiling a rhythm even when the lamps are unlit. We think it suits anyone planning an open-plan kitchen and dining room who wants one fitting to mark out the eating area.
The body is steel with a black finish, and the shades are glass with a grey vaporised finish. There is no switch on the fitting itself: it is switched at the wall, so it runs from your existing light switch. It takes a 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains supply and is wired into the ceiling, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician. Packed, it weighs 6.5KG. Glass wipes clean with a soft, dry cloth. Have six E27 bulbs of up to 4W ready on the day it is fitted, so the ceiling is lit the moment the work is done.

Frequently Asked
Can the Vornessa pendant go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is meant for indoor, dry rooms such as a dining room, kitchen or living room, away from water.
Which bulbs does it take?
It takes six E27 screw-cap bulbs, one in each shade, at up to 4W each. The bulbs are not included, so you choose them yourself.
How big is the pendant?
The ceiling bar is 138cm long and 14cm wide, and the overall height is 110cm, which suits a long dining table or a kitchen island.
Does it have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the fitting. It is switched at the wall, so it works from the light switch you already have.
What colour are the glass shades?
The capsule-shaped shades are grey vaporised glass, which gives them a smoky tint that sits well against the black steel bar.
