Varvessa Ceiling Light - Bronze

Description

DescriptionThe Varvessa is a flush ceiling light with a domed cage shade, made from steel and finished in bronze. Flat, curved strips sweep out from a round ceiling plate and meet an open ring at the base, so the single bulb sits at the heart of the cage and shows through every gap. It stands 22cm tall and measures 38.5cm across, close to the ceiling yet wide enough to anchor a room. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W, and the bulb is not included, so the choice of glow is yours. Rated IP20, it belongs indoors in dry rooms, away from bathrooms and the garden.
Because it sits flush rather than hanging, we would put the Varvessa in rooms where a pendant would crowd the headroom: a living room with a modest ceiling, a bedroom, a hallway or a landing. In a dining room it gives a central light that stays well clear of heads. The bronze finish has a warm, metallic depth that sits comfortably beside timber furniture, cream or white walls and natural textures, and it brings a little industrial character without feeling heavy. Since the cage is open, the bulb is part of the look, so a clear filament bulb suits it particularly well.
The shade is formed from steel strips in a bronze finish and rises to a matching round ceiling plate, with a black lampholder at the centre. There is no switch on the fitting itself; it is switched at the wall, so it works from a wall switch in the usual way. It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains, and the packed weight is 1.738KG. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. We suggest picking your E27 bulb, up to 40W, before fitting day, so the light is ready the moment it is fitted.
