High ceiling pendant light

Allow a 3 m cable for a stairwell opening or a mezzanine, 2 m above a table, then adjust the height from the floor once the fixture is installed. A high ceiling pendant light brings the light down to the living area instead of leaving it at the ceiling, and is chosen first according to the room to be lit.

High ceiling pendant light: which rooms and at what height should it hang?

A high ceiling pendant light is chosen according to the room: entrance, stairwell, a living room with a great height or a mezzanine, where a classic fixture stays out of sight. A long cable brings the light down to the living area without obstructing movement. The collection covers mainly the living room, the dining room and the kitchen.

Under the eaves or on a mezzanine, the light stays above the bed and out of the field of vision when lying down.

Find these volumes in the bedroom pendant, with a modern bedroom variation with more sober lines.

Glass lets light through and makes it more enveloping, which matters when the source stays several metres from the floor. The black cascade with a 350 cm cable, Ø 60 cm, combines glass and metal and diffuses warm white. The rest of the design choice can be seen in the glass pendants.

A Ø 25 cm sphere, like the Nebula, is barely noticeable in a 6 m stairwell opening, whereas a Ø 500 mm or a 140 cm set fills the void. The sphere-shaped pendants and the metal pendants cover both extremes. The width of the void to be filled matters more than the ceiling height.
