This travertine pendant light sets a shade of real stone, grey or sand-toned, beside a collar of solid wood. Offered as a single head or as a line of three, it suits a bedside as readily as a dining table, and it keeps a raw side in a refined shape.

A black travertine pendant light with a solid wood collar

The shade of this travertine pendant light is real travertine, in grey or sand-toned, and its surface shows the texture of the stone rather than hiding it. Above the shade sits a collar of solid wood in a walnut finish, which adds warmth and ties the stone to the furniture around it. The mount and cable of this travertine pendant light are in black precision metal, a clean line that gives a sharp contrast with the pale stone. The single head is 16 cm across and 14 cm high, a compact form for a bedside, an entrance or a corner. The linear version carries three heads on a canopy 60 cm long and hangs at an overall height of 150 cm, which suits a table, a counter or a long console. A travertine pendant light with this combination of materials sits well with modern plaster, pale oak and black steel. The cables of 150 cm adjust easily. The grey stone reads cooler and more graphic, the sand-toned one warmer, and in both cases the shade is a solid piece of travertine, not a coating over another material. As with any natural stone, the colour and the pores differ from one shade to another, so a group of three will show small, pleasant differences.

Specifications of a travertine pendant light with a screw cap

Each head of this travertine pendant light takes a standard E27 Edison screw (ES) bulb, not included, with a maximum of 40 W; an LED equivalent is recommended, as it runs cooler and lasts longer. The fitting is compatible with a dimmer, not included, so you can lower the light in the evening. The supply runs from 110 to 240 V AC. The cables of this travertine pendant light are 150 cm long and easy to adjust, and the canopy suits sloped ceilings of up to 30 degrees, which is useful under a roof. This travertine pendant light therefore suits attic rooms and pitched ceilings as well as flat ones. We recommend a qualified electrician for the connection, as for any fixed fitting. The data are the same for the single and the linear version, so the choice is one of scale: a travertine pendant light with one head for a small spot, and three heads for a long surface. A standard cap means you can pick a warm bulb that suits the stone, and change it easily later. A bulb of modest output is enough for a small shade like this, and the dimmer lets you lower it further for the evening.

Using a travertine pendant light over a table or a console

Think about the surface below. The single head works well in pairs either side of a bed or a doorway, or in a row at different heights. The line of three, 60 cm long, suits a table for four to six, or a kitchen counter. Under a 2.40 m ceiling, a full drop of 150 cm is too long for a travertine pendant light in any place where you walk, since the usual guideline puts the lowest point at 2.10 m above the finished floor; over a table you can hang it lower, but shorten the cable to suit. On a table, aim for the lowest point of the shade to sit well above the plates and glasses, and well clear of anyone standing up. A travertine pendant light hung this way also keeps its stone at a height where it can be admired up close. Choose a warm bulb to keep the travertine soft, and dim it in the evening. Both stones work with the black mount, but the grey gives the stronger contrast, while the sand-toned one stays closer to the tone of the wood collar. A travertine pendant light in grey suits cooler, more graphic rooms, while the sand-toned one suits warmer rooms with wood and linen. Check the stone you receive against your walls in daylight, as the variations are part of its character, and leave space around the shade so that the pores and the collar can be seen.

Real grey or sand-toned travertine, a solid wood collar and black metal: this travertine pendant light is raw and refined at once. Choose one head or three, and hang it where the stone can be seen.
