Polbena Pendant Light - Black

Description

DescriptionPolbena is a drum-shaped pendant light with a black steel frame wrapped in a diamond mesh shade, the mesh finished in a warm brass colour that sits against the black. Its overall height is 110cm and it measures 45cm across, a generous size for hanging over a dining table. It takes a single E27 bulb at a maximum of 40W, and the bulb is not included, so you choose the one you like. The IP20 rating settles where it can go: indoors, in a dry room.
We would hang it over a dining table, where the open mesh lets light pass freely and the black frame gives the room a clear focal point. It belongs in a dining room or a kitchen with space for a table, wherever an industrial look sits comfortably beside timber, plants and warm neutrals. Because the mesh leaves the bulb on view, a globe filament bulb with amber glass makes the most of it, and the brass tone of the shade picks up that warmth whenever the light is lit. For anyone who likes a pendant with character but wants it to feel light and airy, the open mesh is the answer.
The body is black steel, and the shade pairs a black steel frame with steel mesh in a brass colour. Steel is strong and holds its shape well, which suits a mesh shade that needs to keep its crisp diamond pattern. There is no switch on the fitting itself, because the light is switched at the wall, and it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. Choose an E27 bulb of no more than 40W and it is ready to hang over your table.
