Wicker Light Fixture

Allow one woven light per living area: a pendant above the table, a ceiling light or wall light in the passages, an arc floor lamp near the sofa. Wicker filters light instead of blocking it, and the models in this collection take an E27 bulb that gives off a warm white glow.

What is a wicker lamp and what light does it give?

A wicker lamp is a piece whose shade or frame is woven: the wicker filters and warms the light instead of directing it like an opaque shade. The models in this collection take E27 bulbs and give off a warm white light, between 2700 and 3500 K.

Wicker pendant, ceiling light or floor lamp: what shapes are available?

The collection covers the four main families. The pendant brings light down over a table, like the Maleo two-tier pendant. The ceiling light stays flat against the ceiling and suits low rooms, like the Qira ceiling light. The wall light frees up floor space in a hallway, and arc floor lamps light from the side without taking up table space. See the full range in all our lights.

Original lights: why does the weave change the effect?

A woven frame does not stop light, it scatters it. The glow spreads to the sides and leaves a halo on the ceiling, which avoids the harsh bright spot above a sofa or bed. The round, ball and oval shapes found in the ball lights reinforce this effect by spreading the source across the whole woven surface.

Wicker, rattan, bamboo, metal: which material to choose?

Wicker is a supple wood from willow, with a more matte finish; rattan comes from a climbing palm, with a more regular and smoother weave. Bamboo brings fine straight stems, while metal or iron structure and darken the silhouette. Many models in the collection combine two of these materials.

What is the difference between wicker and rattan?

Wicker is woven in irregular fibres, giving a matte and slightly lively surface. Rattan, smoother, lends itself to tight weaves and clean silhouettes. On the same light, both can coexist: rattan holds the structure, wicker dresses the shade. This mix is found in the woven pendant lights.

Why combine wicker with metal or iron?

Metal comes in where the weave cannot carry: floor lamp base, arc, ceiling frame. It also brings a contrast of tone, black or gold, which keeps the piece from looking entirely natural. See the finishes offered in the metal lights.

Wicker lamp for the living room: which format for a large lounge?

For a living room, a wicker arc floor lamp lights without taking up table space: its woven dome comes down over the sofa. A wicker ceiling light suits a low room or a large volume, and a pendant is best kept for reading corners. The weave spreads light to the sides.

Original living room light: arc floor lamp or ceiling light?

The arc floor lamp is chosen when the coffee table must stay clear and the ceiling is already occupied. The arc floor lamp with woven dome goes from 210 to 240 cm, with a 60 cm diameter dome: it covers a large sofa. The ceiling light takes over in an attic living room, where there is not enough height for an arc. More ideas are gathered in living room lighting.

How to spread light in a living room without a central ceiling light?

Stack three sources at different heights: a floor lamp at the end of the sofa, a wall light, a floor lamp near an armchair. The natural rattan floor lamp (32 x 120 cm) fills this role without hanging too low. This layering gives a even ambient light, with no harsh shadow areas.

Which wicker pendant for the dining room?

Above a table, a two-tier woven pendant brings light down to the centre of the group without glare: the weave diffuses it towards the table and lets a halo through to the ceiling. Choose a shade diameter that matches the table and an E27 fitting for the bulb.

Wicker pendant lamp: single or double tier?

The double-tier version, like the Maleo pendant (Ø 53 cm, 80 W, dimmable), suits tables of six or more: the two levels of weave cut direct glare. On a narrower table, a single pendant is enough and leaves more clear height. The rest of the selection is in the dining room lights.

At what height should a pendant be hung above the dining table?

Generally, the bottom of the shade sits between 70 and 80 cm above the table, which places the source in the field of vision without glare. The setting then depends on the room: raise it by about ten centimetres in a living room with a high ceiling, and check that no one bumps into it when standing up.

Wicker lamp for the bedroom: what light for sleeping?

In a bedroom, a wicker pendant or ceiling light gives off a soft light: the weave filters the glow and the warm white avoids cold light above the bed. On dimmable models, the bulb can be adjusted in the evening. A wall light at reading height completes the set.

Wicker bedroom lamp: pendant or wall light?

The pendant or ceiling light lights the whole room from the centre. The wall light, on the other hand, is placed about 1.20 m from the floor, at shoulder height once seated, to light a book without turning on the whole room. The Liro wall light (23 x 20 cm) fits this use, alone or as a pair on either side of the bed. Compare with the bedroom lamps.

How to get a soft light for reading in bed?

Look for a warm white bulb 2700 to 3500 K and a moderate wattage: 40 W is enough for a wall light or a medium-sized ceiling light. The weave does the rest by scattering the glow. On dimmable models, lower the intensity after reading rather than switching off suddenly.

How to light a hallway, kitchen or toilet?

In a hallway, toilet or kitchen, a flat wicker light like the Qira ceiling light or a wall light lights without clutter. These models are IP20: they suit dry rooms, not areas with water splashes such as around a shower or sink.

Original toilet light: what to install in a windowless toilet?

Without daylight, aim for a flat ceiling light fixed in the centre, which lights without creating harsh shadows, with a warm white bulb. The Qira ceiling light comes in two sizes (45 x 20 cm and 65 x 20 cm, 40 W) to suit the space. A wall light helps when the room has a low ceiling. See the hallway and entrance lights.

Wall light or ceiling light in a small hallway?

In a narrow passage, the wall light frees up movement and is placed high, above shoulder level. The ceiling light remains the simplest solution if the hallway is wide. For a kitchen, prefer a model fixed away from cooking and splash areas, like those in the kitchen lighting.

Which bulb and settings for a wicker lamp?

The models in the collection use E27 fittings, for the most part, with wattages from 40 W to 80 W depending on the size. Warm white 2700 to 3500 K warms the room, IP20 protection guards against contact and dust, and the warranty is two years across the whole selection.

Which E27 bulb to choose for a wicker lamp?

An E27 LED bulb easily replaces a classic bulb, and a large part of the collection is already fitted with LED. The large format, like the Maleo pendant at 80 W, takes a more powerful bulb than a 40 W ceiling light. Check the wattage shown on the model's page before changing the bulb. More guidance is in the LED bulbs and lights.

LED bulb and dimmer: how to lower the intensity in the evening?

Some models are dimmable, including the Ubud arc floor lamp and the Maleo pendant. The bulb must then also be dimmable, otherwise the intensity will not adjust properly. The useful specifications to remember: E27 fitting, IP20, warm white 2700 to 3500 K, 40 W or 80 W depending on size, two-year warranty.

Where to buy a wicker lamp and how to navigate the budget?

A wicker lamp can be bought in store or online: at a distance, the product page gives the material, the fitting, the protection rating and the real dimensions, which avoids back and forth. The selection ranges from the affordable model to the exceptional piece, with secure payment, tracked delivery and returns.

Lighting clearance Lyon: where to see available pieces?

A lighting clearance in Lyon or a lighting store is judged on the product page, not the window display: exact material, diameter, fitting, IP and colour temperature must be listed. The affordable models are recognised by their more compact size, with no compromise on the wicker.

How to check that a wicker lamp will fit my interior before ordering?

Measure the table or the area to be lit, then compare with the stated diameter: 53 cm pendant for a large group, 45 cm ceiling light for a medium room. Then check the available height and the dominant style of the room. The contemporary style pieces go well with a sober interior, while a more elaborate interior calls for a more pronounced weave.

The Ubud three-light arc floor lamp and the Maleo pendant are dimmable: enough to set the mood of a room without changing the bulb. Secure payment, tracked delivery, possible returns and Designix customer service accompany every order.
