Description
keyboard_arrow_downThis alabaster dome pendant light marries a diffuser of smooth alabaster with a structure in solid brass that has gold reflections. It is offered in two diameters, 30 cm and 40 cm, for contemporary interiors that favour authentic materials and an enveloping light.
An alabaster dome pendant light is recognised first by the way it lets the light through, and this model makes that its signature. The diffuser is cut from authentic smooth alabaster, a translucent stone whose tone and shades vary naturally from one piece to the next. This alabaster dome pendant light takes the form of an architectural dome 15 cm high, in a choice of two diameters: 30 cm for a dining corner or an entrance, 40 cm for a wider table or a larger room. Above it, the structure in solid brass frames the stone and adds a sober gold finish, which underlines the outline without loading it. This alabaster dome pendant light works as a decorative object as much as a source of light: unlit, it shows a pale, soft mineral surface; lit, it gives a warm clarity through the stone. The solid brass gives the mount a good hold and takes a patina over time, which goes along with the life of the fitting. The alabaster dome pendant light suits a lounge, a dining room, an open kitchen or a bedroom, with a look that is at once sculptural and calm. The pairing of pale stone with gold metal goes with timber, linen, plaster and natural palettes. Its dome shape, ample and regular, recalls architecture and its vaults, which gives it a monumental air even in a room of modest size. In this alabaster dome pendant light the contrast between the pale stone and the reflections of the brass creates a warm balance without ostentation, which suits many styles.
Technically, this alabaster dome pendant light is delivered with a suspension cable adjustable up to 200 cm, which can be extended on request if your ceiling is particularly high. The ceiling base, the rose, measures 10 cm in diameter. It is installed as a ceiling fitting, with fixed electrical wiring. The bulb cap is an E27 Edison screw (ES) and accepts LED, incandescent or fluorescent bulbs; the bulb is not included. This alabaster dome pendant light is not dimmable, a point to know before pairing it with a dimmer: it works on simple switching. The best lighting area runs from 5 to 10 m2, which means a generous ambient light for a dining corner, an island or a small living room. The supply is from 110 V to 240 V, with an IP20 rating: this alabaster dome pendant light is therefore for indoor use, in dry rooms, away from direct damp. These precise details let you plan the installation of this alabaster dome pendant light without surprises, choosing the diameter, the cable length and the bulb according to your space and the colour of light you prefer. They also allow a calm comparison: the height of the dome stays fixed at 15 cm whatever the diameter, while the cable length is set to put the light at the exact height you want, from the dining table to the living space.
To show off this alabaster dome pendant light, take the time to choose the height. Over a table, the dome is generally hung low enough for the light to gather on the table top while leaving the view clear; with 200 cm of adjustable cable you have plenty of room to set it. Under a 2.40 m ceiling the cable of this alabaster dome pendant light should be shortened well below its maximum, and over a walkway the bottom of the dome should stay at least 2.10 m above the floor. For the diameter, the 30 cm format suits modest spaces, while the 40 cm one asserts the presence of the fitting more. A bulb of warm tone shows up the translucency of the stone and its shades, whereas a more neutral tone gives a clearer impression. Remember that an alabaster dome pendant light is made of natural stone: its veins, tone and translucency can differ slightly from one piece to the next, which is exactly its charm. An electrician is advised for the fixed wiring. Such a fitting sits as well in a minimalist decor as in a more classic interior. Finally, observe the rules of use: the E27 cap is versatile, but the fitting is not dimmable, and the stone is for dry rooms, away from steam.
Translucent alabaster, solid brass and an adjustable cable: this alabaster dome pendant light offers a warm light and a confident character. Choose your diameter and hang a fitting that shows your room at its best.
