Handcrafted Wooden Pendant Light – Three Diameters, Two Shade Styles

A handcrafted wooden pendant, made in three diameters — 23 cm, 35 cm and 45 cm — and two shade styles, A and B. Because each shade is worked by hand rather than pressed out, the grain pattern and the exact figure of the timber differ between individual pieces even within a single size and style.

Wood is an unusual pendant material because it is opaque and relatively heavy, and both facts shape what the fixture does. Being opaque, it directs all its light downward instead of glowing as a form, so it lights a surface rather than a room. Being heavier than glass or acrylic at the same diameter, the 45 cm shade in particular wants a ceiling fixing that reaches a joist rather than plasterboard alone.

The 23 cm suits a hallway or a bedside; the 45 cm suits a dining table or an island where a single fixture has to hold the space on its own. Wood reads warm against a white ceiling and all but disappears against a timber one.
