Over the island
A shape that carries a long counter
Kitchen islands are usually lit by two or three matching pendants in a row, which is exactly where an asymmetric shade earns its keep. Identical fixtures repeated down a counter can read as hardware. These do not, because the form is off center and each one catches the light slightly differently along its curve.
01
Two shade forms
Petal is open and shallow, leaving the bulb visible and spilling a wide pool below. Pebble is closed and deep, hiding the source and letting the light out through a narrow opening underneath.
02
Pure white or cement grey
White reads almost like plaster and keeps quiet against a pale ceiling. Grey is closer to raw concrete and holds shadow across the curve.
03
30 cm or 40 cm
Small enough to hang in pairs or threes over an island, or singly over a small table without dominating it.
04
Bulb included
A 12W E27 LED comes with the fixture, so nothing else has to be ordered before it lights.
Over a table
One pendant, hung low
A single shade dropped close over a round table is the other way to use this. The 150 cm cord shortens to whatever height the room wants, and because the shade is asymmetric the light lands off center on the table rather than as a flat even disc, which is a softer thing to eat under.
Questions
What is the difference between the Petal and Pebble shades?
How open they are, and what that does to the light. Petal is the shallow one: a wide curve that dips low at the front and lifts at the back, leaving the bulb visible below the rim and throwing a broad wash of light downward. Pebble is the deeper closed form, folded in underneath so the source is hidden entirely and the light leaves through a narrow opening, landing tighter and softer. Petal is the more sculptural of the two to look at, Pebble the more discreet to sit under.
Which size should I choose?
30 cm suits a pair or a run of three over a standard kitchen island, or one over a bedside or a corner. 40 cm is the one to take when the pendant is doing the work on its own, over a round dining table or a small breakfast bar. Because the shade is asymmetric rather than a symmetrical dome, the 40 cm reads slightly larger in a room than the number suggests.
What is the difference between pure white and cement grey?
Finish only, on the same shade. Pure white is the quieter of the two, close to plaster, and it more or less dissolves into a pale ceiling so the eye reads the shape rather than the object. Cement grey is the textural one, closer to raw concrete, and it holds shadow across the curve, which is what makes the asymmetry read from across a room.
Is a bulb included?
Yes, a 12W E27 LED bulb comes with the pendant, in warm white. E27 and the standard US E26 bulb share the same thread and are interchangeable at US voltage, so a replacement later is whatever screw-base LED your local store carries.
Can it be dimmed?
The fixture itself is not dimmable, so any dimming would come from the bulb and the circuit it hangs on.
How does it hang, and how high?
It is a hardwired cord pendant. It hangs from a ceiling point and connects to a mains supply there, on 90 to 260V. The cord is 150 cm and can be shortened, so the drop is set to the room rather than fixed. Over a dining table most people land somewhere around 75 to 90 cm above the surface.
What is it made of?
A molded polymer shade on a metal fitting. It arrives assembled.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are processed within 1 to 7 business days, then delivery to the United States typically takes 8 to 30 business days from dispatch. Shipping is free on every order. Each shade is made to order at the workshop and ships direct rather than through a US warehouse, and tracking is sent the moment it leaves.
