This travertine pendant light shows a porous volcanic stone, 15 cm across, mounted on solid wood in a walnut tone. It is offered as a single head, as a linear double, or as a triple in a line or a circle, and it gives the light some relief.

A volcanic travertine pendant light with a porous texture

The shade of this travertine pendant light is cut from volcanic travertine, a stone whose pores are open and whose surface is deliberately left raw. You can see the cavities, and you can feel them, which is the opposite of a smooth, shiny finish and the reason the stone looks honest. The mount and the accents are in solid wood in a walnut tone, a warm colour that sets off the pale stone. Wood and stone meet at the top of this travertine pendant light with a clear, simple joint, so the mount reads as part of the design and not as an afterthought. Four versions are offered. The single head measures 15 cm across and 18 cm high. The linear double is 60 cm long, the linear triple is 60 cm long, and the circular triple is 30 cm across, all three hanging at an overall height of 150 cm. A travertine pendant light in this range suits a bedside, a console, a dining table or an island, and the choice between a line and a circle depends on the surface below: the line follows a long table, the circle gathers a round one or marks the centre of a small room. Because the stone is natural, on this travertine pendant light the pores and the shades of sand differ from one shade to another, and a group of heads will show small, pleasant variations. The wood keeps the stone from looking cold, and the stone keeps the wood from looking plain. Taken together, the four versions let you scale the same stone and the same wood from a single accent to a statement over the table.

Specifications of a travertine pendant light for screw-cap bulbs

Each head of this travertine pendant light takes a standard E27 Edison screw (ES) bulb, not included, up to 40 W incandescent or the LED equivalent. The light source is a bulb that you choose and fit yourself, so you can replace it at any time and change its colour as your taste does. The fitting can be dimmed with a compatible bulb and a compatible dimmer. A travertine pendant light with a standard cap is also simple to maintain: when a bulb fails, you change the bulb, not the fitting. The cable is 150 cm long and adjusts easily, and the canopy suits sloped ceilings of up to 30 degrees. The supply runs from 110 to 240 V AC. We recommend a qualified electrician for the connection, as for any fixed fitting. These figures apply to every version of this travertine pendant light, so you can choose on size and layout alone, and add the dimmer if you want it.

Choosing a travertine pendant light for a line or a circle

For a single spot of light, the 15 cm head is enough, and at 18 cm high it takes little headroom under a low ceiling. Under a typical 2.40 m ceiling, the 150 cm cable is far more than you need where people walk, since the usual guideline puts the lowest point of a pendant at 2.10 m above the finished floor; over a table you can hang a travertine pendant light lower, but shorten the cable to suit the room. The triple in a line, 60 cm long, suits a dining table or a counter, and the triple in a circle, 30 cm across, suits a round table or the middle of a small lounge. The double is the version for a console or a desk. A warm bulb brings out the pores of the volcanic stone, and a dimmer softens the light for the evening. Over a table, centre your travertine pendant light on its length, so that the light reaches both ends evenly. Keep the stone dry and dust it with a soft cloth, because a porous surface holds what it absorbs. Leave space around each head, so that the texture can be seen from the side as well as from below. In a hall, the single head is enough on its own; in a lounge, the triple in a circle gives the room a centre.

Porous volcanic travertine and solid wood in a walnut tone: this travertine pendant light gives your ceiling a mineral, warm accent. Choose a single head, a double or a triple, and fit it with an E27 bulb.
