Plan on one woven pendant light above the island or worktop, with an E27 fitting and IP20 rating, then adjust the cable length before tightening the blocker. Rattan, wicker and rope filter the light and cast shadows across the worktop.
Kitchen pendant light: what kind of light does a rattan shade give?
A woven shade filters the E27 bulb and projects a warm, diffuse light, both downwards and to the sides. Rattan, rope or wicker draw graphic shadows on the worktop. In warm white, around 2700 to 3500 K, the kitchen stays welcoming without glare.
Which E27 bulb should you choose above a worktop?
A low-consumption E27 LED bulb is enough: the models in the selection use an E27 fitting, and some are listed with LED technology. The weave already softens the output, so an overly powerful bulb heats the frame without adding anything. For ambience, stay with warm white around 2700 to 3500 K; the Maleo is listed in exactly that range. Several ranges of our full lighting collection share this standard fitting.
Why does the weave cast shadows on the worktop?
Because the strands of rope, wicker or rattan are not tightly joined: light passes through the gaps and leaves patterns on the worktop. It is a sought-after effect above an island, but it becomes annoying if the pendant hangs too low or the bulb is very powerful. Move the source up a few centimetres and the shadow softens.
Where should you install a rattan pendant light in the kitchen?
Above the island, the worktop or the dining corner, the woven pendant lights the area where you prepare and eat, without shining in your eyes. An open kitchen can take two or three aligned points, evenly spaced along the length of the unit.
Pendant above an island: where should the fixing point go?
On the axis of the unit, not randomly on the ceiling: the light point falls directly above the centre of the island, or at equal distance if you install two. Keep the pendant away from the edge where you lean. Models in bamboo and rattan pendants work well in pairs, because their repeated weave creates a visual rhythm above the worktop.
Open kitchen onto the living room: how should you distribute the light points?
Treat the kitchen and the living area as two distinct zones: one source above the worktop, another above the table or sofa. Keep the same spacing between points on the same line. A single pendant between the two zones leaves a dark strip in the middle of the room.
How do you choose between rattan, wicker, woven rope and metal?
Rattan, wicker and woven rope give a warm, irregular finish; black metal structures the whole and draws the frame. The collection often mixes the two, with a shared E27 fitting, an IP20 rating for dry rooms and a two-year warranty.
E27 fitting, LED bulb and dimmer: what changes
The E27 fitting is the standard format: you choose the bulb according to the mood, warm or more neutral, without changing the light. Some models accept a dimmer, which lets you lower the intensity in the evening without switching off. Our dimmable pendants are identified by this compatibility, useful in a kitchen open onto the living room.
IP20: where to hang the pendant and where to avoid it
The IP20 rating covers dry rooms and protects against contact with fingers, not against water splashes. These pendants are therefore placed above a worktop or a table, never directly above the sink or in a very damp corner. For a more graphic look, black metal structures play the same role with a colder material.
Which format should you choose: round, long bar or rectangular?
A long bar suits above a worktop or a large island; a rectangular pendant with four bulbs aligns with an open kitchen; a 53 cm round is enough above a table. A compact 31 x 15 cm version fits into a small dining corner.
| Zone or support | Suitable format | Dimensions | Fitting | Protection rating | Model |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long worktop | Long bar with five shades | L 110 cm | E27 | IP20 | Bintan |
| Large table or large island | Round pendant | Ø 53 cm | E27 | IP20 | Maleo |
| Rectangular open kitchen | Rectangular pendant with four bulbs | Cable up to 140 cm | E27 | IP20 | Rectanora |
| Small dining corner | Compact pendant | 31 x 15 cm | E27 | IP20 | Tressa |
Round pendant or long bar above an island?
The long bar covers a length of worktop, like the Bintan and its five shades, 110 cm long. The round one lights a table or a square island. If your unit is longer than it is wide, the bar avoids multiplying fixing points.
Small dining corner: which compact pendant?
A 31 x 15 cm format like the Tressa, compact format, fits into a recess or above a table for two. For a lighter look, white kitchen pendants visually enlarge the space.
How do you match these pendants with a modern kitchen decor?
A modern kitchen decor combines clean lines and natural materials: a black metal frame, a plain worktop and a woven shade in beige or black. Two identical pendants above the island are enough to create the rhythm, without multiplying the sources.
Modern kitchen decoration: which materials go with rattan?
The weave calls for smooth surfaces: plain worktop, fronts without mouldings, matt splashback. The black metal of the frame then answers the handles or the appliances. Glass kitchen pendants give a smoother contrast, useful if you find the weave too present.
After a black metal kitchen light, what comes next?
Black brings definition, especially with a black woven version. To lighten a dark worktop, light rattan finishes reflect more light. Keep a single colour family on the same line of points.
Can you use the same rattan pendant in the living room or dining room?
Yes: the same woven shades work above a dining table or in a living room, provided you keep the E27 fitting and a height suited to the room. The beige colour warms a light interior, black makes more of a statement.
Living room chandelier: which pendant above the table?
Choose a shade narrower than the table top. The Maleo in woven wicker, 53 cm round, suits a large table; rattan living room pendants use the same materials in other formats.
Beige or black: which colour for which room?
Beige lightens and blends into a light interior; black draws a sharp outline on a pale wall. In a bedroom, wicker and rattan keep the light soft, as shown by woven bedroom lighting. The same material therefore changes its look depending on the background.
At what height and how do you install a rattan pendant?
Switch off the power, fix the ceiling rose into a solid material, then adjust the cable length before tightening and connecting the E27 bulb. On a high ceiling, the Rectanora hangs down to 140 cm. The weave is dusted dry, without any product.

Large chandelier for a high ceiling: how do you adjust the cable?
Unroll the cable to bring the light closer to the worktop, then lock it before fitting the bulb. The rectangular Rectanora accepts a maximum height of 140 cm, which leaves some margin under a tall ceiling. In a high space, design pendants for stairwells follow the same adjustable-cable logic.
An old family recipe for stripping furniture: useful for a pendant?
No: stripping concerns the bare wood of a piece of furniture, whereas a shade in rattan, wicker or rope is dusted dry with a soft cloth or a low-power vacuum cleaner. No liquid product on the weave. To change the tone, it is better to choose another colour.
Kitchen ceiling light or pendant: which light should you choose?
A pendant lights a specific area, the island or the table; a ceiling light spreads general light through the room. In a kitchen, the two combine: a ceiling light to move around, a rattan pendant above the worktop, both with an E27 fitting.
Light for a WC: is a woven pendant suitable?
In dry and fairly tall toilets, a closed pendant remains possible if the room receives no water splashes. The models in the collection are IP20, so reserved for dry rooms. A compact format limits the bulk and avoids brushing the door, like the hallway pendants that share this clearance constraint.
Modern kitchen chandelier: what is the difference from a rattan pendant?
The modern chandelier plays on metal, black and geometric lines; the rattan pendant brings a woven material and a warmer light. Wooden kitchen models and vintage kitchen pendants sit in between, between structured frame and natural material.
Frequently asked questions
Kitchen pendant: how many light points above the worktop?
One pendant suits a dining corner or a short worktop; a long bar with five shades, like the Bintan, covers a length of 110 cm. Align the points on the axis of the unit and keep the same spacing between each.
Living room light colour: which temperature should you choose?
In a living room open onto the kitchen, a warm white light, around 2700 to 3500 K, keeps the mood soft and does not harden the woven materials. The Maleo is listed in that range; on other models, the E27 bulb you choose sets the tone.
Italian design kitchen pendant: how do you recognise it?
Italian design shows in its clean lines, slim frames and graphic shapes, often in black metal. The Rectanora, rectangular with four bulbs, comes close; the Tressa plays the same register with a black frame and a woven shade.
Living room chandelier: which pendant above a table?
Above a table, choose a pendant whose shade stays narrower than the top. The Maleo, 53 cm round, suits a large table; a compact format like the Tressa, 31 x 15 cm, is reserved for small surfaces and low rooms.
Large chandelier for a high ceiling: how do you adjust the height?
On a high ceiling, unroll the cable to bring the light closer to the worktop. The Rectanora accepts a maximum height of 140 cm, which lets the pendant hang down without straining the connection, then tighten the blocker before fitting the E27 bulb.
Ordering after checking the format
Before confirming, measure the length of your worktop and the clear height under the ceiling: that is what decides between a 110 cm bar, a 53 cm round, a compact 31 x 15 cm format or a model with an adjustable cable. The Designix customer service team can check these dimensions with you before you order.
