Martelo pendant light, rounded white globe and pink and purple beads, 32 cm

Domed glass and pastel beads

The white glass curves into a bell. The top bead is purple, the one below pale pink; brass-coloured rings separate them. This trio of soft shades stands out against a light wall as well as a dark background.

E27 source to be supplied

Allow for an E27 bulb of 40 W at most, to be bought separately. To avoid glare beneath the glass, prefer a frosted warm white LED. The light can be connected to a dimmer, provided the bulb is dimmable too. It is rated IP20, so it is intended for rooms free of damp.

A compact pendant light

At 32 cm high with a total height limited to 105 cm, it stays discreet beneath a standard ceiling. Hung alone, it lights a desk; in twos or threes, lined up, it accompanies a counter. Leave 65 to 75 cm between the glass and the surface to be lit.
