Skulpturell lysekrone til spisebord, stål, 73 til 85 cm

Metal ribbons folded and layered into a single form, catching light on their edges and casting curved shadows as you move around it. Stand beneath it and the bands seem to hover, weightless; take two steps to one side and the whole silhouette rearranges itself. That is what this chandelier is for. It treats light as part of the architecture of a room rather than as a fitting you stop noticing after a week, and it holds attention from every seat at the table.

The composition is built from stainless steel bands on an iron frame, curved and overlapped so the piece keeps a sense of motion even when nothing in the room is moving. Light escapes between the layers instead of passing through one flat shade, which gives you warm reflections along the inner faces and long, soft shadows drawn across the ceiling and the nearest wall. No applied ornament appears anywhere on it. The folded form does all the decorating, and that is why it settles as comfortably above a dining table as it does in a tall entrance hall or a contemporary living room, adding artistry and a quiet kind of refinement without shouting for it.

Choose the smaller version at 73 cm (28.7″) across, 4.5 kg, drawing 58 W for 6380 lm, or the larger at 85 cm (33.5″), 6 kg, drawing 78 W for 8580 lm and bright enough to light a dining table on its own. Both come in Black, which reads as a drawn line against a pale ceiling, or Gold, which warms every reflection the metal throws back. Pick warm white at 3000 K for evenings that want to feel soft and welcoming, or cool white at 6000 K for a crisper, more gallery-like light.

The LED is integrated and rated for 50,000 hours of use, so the light source is one less thing to think about for years at a time. It runs on AC 90–260 V for consistently even, bright output wherever you happen to live, and it carries UL, CCC, CE, CQC, EMC, FCC, GS, LVD, PSE, RoHS, SAA and VDE certification. Dimming can be arranged before you order; email info@clerachic.com and we will set it up.

Installation is straightforward on any ceiling or surface. It hardwires to a ∅12 cm (4.7″) canopy and hangs on up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) of adjustable cord, so you can set the drop precisely over a table or shorten it for a lower ceiling. Sloped ceilings are fine. If you would rather mount it against a wall as a sculptural panel, the brackets you need are in the box.

This fitting hangs from a ceiling outlet box and is wired into your mains supply. Work out your hanging height before you connect anything - it is far easier to set the drop with the wiring still loose than to redo it afterwards.

Before you start

• Mounting: the fitting secures to a standard ceiling outlet box. The bracket and fixings are in the box.
• Weight: check that your outlet box and ceiling can carry the fitting. Weights are listed in the Product Specifications above. A heavy chandelier may need a brace fitted between the joists.
• Hanging height: the supplied cord, chain or rod can be shortened. Over a dining table, a drop that leaves roughly 75 to 90 cm between the table top and the bottom of the shade suits most rooms.
• Ceiling type: every model suits a flat ceiling. Sloped-ceiling compatibility is stated per product in the Product Specifications above.
• Power: these fittings are hardwired. They do not plug into a socket.
• Dimming: models with a replaceable bulb can usually be dimmed with a compatible dimmer. Integrated LED models generally cannot.

Tools you may need

• Screwdriver
• Voltage tester
• Wire strippers
• Wire nuts or terminal connectors (supplied)
• Step ladder, and a second person for anything heavy or wide
• Drill, if you are fitting a new outlet box or bracing the ceiling

Installation

Turn the lighting circuit off at the consumer unit or breaker panel - the wall switch is not enough. Test at the ceiling outlet with a voltage tester and confirm the wires are dead.

Screw the supplied bracket to the ceiling outlet box with the screws provided. Tighten evenly and check that it sits flat and square; a bracket that is not level will show in the finished hang.

Adjust the cord, chain or rod to the drop you want before you make any electrical connection. Lock the length using the canopy adjuster or the grip inside the canopy. Where a cord is shortened, coil the surplus neatly inside the canopy rather than cutting it - that keeps the height adjustable later.

• Live to live: black, brown, or the terminal marked L
• Neutral to neutral: white, blue, or the terminal marked N
• Earth to earth: green, green-and-yellow, or bare, to the earth terminal or screw

Secure each connection with a connector and press the wiring gently up into the box. Nothing should be trapped between the canopy and the ceiling when you close it.

Lift the canopy or backplate onto the bracket and fasten it with the screws or decorative caps supplied. Work up to a firm fit rather than forcing it - decorative caps and plated threads strip easily.

Fit the bulb type and wattage listed in the Product Specifications above. Where several sockets share one shade, use identical bulbs so the colour and brightness match across the fitting.

Switch the circuit back on and test the light, including the dimmer if you have fitted one. Isolate the power again before re-opening anything.

Important tips

• Follow the wiring rules that apply where you live, and use a qualified electrician for high ceilings, sloped mounts or anything you are unsure of.
• Have someone hold a wide or heavy fitting while you make the connections. Do not let it hang on its wiring at any point.
• Clean glass and crystal with a dry, soft cloth. Do not spray cleaner onto a fitting that is wired in.
• Do not over-tighten decorative parts: they are finished, not structural.
