Drum Pendant Light for Dining Table, Tiered Fabric, 50 cm

A drum shade gives you one band of light. Stack three and the light comes out in stripes.

This pendant is built from overlapping fabric tiers, each stepping in from the one below it. Between every pair there is a gap, so as well as the broad wash falling onto the table there are horizontal bands of light escaping sideways at three heights. The result is a fitting that is bright underneath and glowing all the way round — which is what a shade half a metre across has to do if it is not going to sit over a table like a lid.

Overlapping fabric tiers with light escaping between them

• Light in bands: a gap between each tier, so the shade glows sideways as well as casting downward
• Half a metre across: wide enough to hold a dining table on its own without a second pendant
• Source fully hidden: the stepped tiers cap the bulb from every seated angle
• Beige or green: a neutral that disappears into a pale ceiling, or a colour that commits

Sized for a table, not a corner

Fifty centimetres is a lot of shade. Over a dining table it is right; in a small room or a hallway it will dominate everything under it.

Fabric warms whatever is behind it

Textile diffuses more gently than glass and takes on the colour of the light passing through it. With the warm setting, the whole shade turns the colour of a lit lampshade rather than a lit bulb.

Hang it high enough to see the tiers

Too low and you only see the underside. The stepped construction is the reason to own this, so leave enough drop for it to be read from a seated eye line.Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Is it too big for a small room?
Probably. At half a metre across it is sized for a dining table rather than a hallway or a corner.

Can you see the bulb?
No. The stepped tiers cap the source from any seated angle.

Which colour over a pale ceiling?
Beige disappears into it. Green makes the pendant the thing you notice first.
