Varvessa Pendant Light - Bronze

Description

DescriptionThe Varvessa Pendant Light is a bronze pendant built around a tapered, bell-like cage of slim vertical steel strips. The cage widens gently towards an open ring at its base and hangs on a dark cord from a round ceiling canopy finished to match. The cage is 28cm across and the light stands 110cm high overall, so it is worth checking that drop against your ceiling height. It takes a single E27 bulb of up to 40W, not included, which leaves the choice of bulb to you. Its IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry room.
Because the strips are open, the bulb stays on show, so a decorative filament bulb suits this pendant particularly well. With the bulb lit, the steel throws soft bands of light and shadow across nearby walls. We like it hung beside a bed in place of a bedside lamp, which frees the table for books and a glass of water. It works just as well in a hallway, a living room or over a dining table. The warm bronze finish sits happily with greys, whites and natural textures, giving a calm room some character without heavy ornament. Hang one either side of a double bed for a matching pair.
The body is steel, with the bronze colour carried through the cage, the sleeve around the bulb holder and the ceiling canopy, so every visible metal part matches. There is no switch on the light itself; you turn it on and off at the wall. As a wired mains light running on 220-240V at 50/60Hz, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, and packed, the light weighs 1.746KG. When you choose a bulb, keep it to 40W or less. Steel holds its shape well, so the slim strips keep their even spacing.

Frequently AskedCan I use the Varvessa pendant in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry indoor rooms only, so it should not go in a bathroom, near water or outdoors.
Which bulb does this pendant take?
It takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W. The bulb is not included, so you can pick the colour and style you prefer.
How big is the shade?
The cage is 28cm across and the light is 110cm high overall, so it is worth measuring your ceiling height before you hang it.
Does the light have its own switch?
No, there is no switch on the pendant itself. It is switched at the wall, so you control it with the wall switch that serves the ceiling point.
What material is the pendant?
The body is steel with a bronze finish, which runs through the cage, the sleeve around the bulb holder and the round ceiling canopy.
How heavy is it?
Packed, it weighs 1.746KG. That figure covers the light together with its packaging, rather than the pendant on its own.
