Piansi 4-light pendant light all matt black, bare sockets, 40 cm

An entirely black structure

Here, ceiling rose, rod, arms and sleeves are all the same matt black. With no contrast of material, the eye is drawn to the bulbs and to the pattern of the two arms, which cross obliquely at different heights. The tubular steel gives an industrial look, to be paired with raw wood or metal.

Four visible E27 sockets

Permitted power: 40 W per socket; no bulb is supplied. Against a black background, an amber filament bulb and a large opal globe bulb produce two different effects: the first for atmosphere, the second for softer, less dazzling lighting. Dimming is possible with compatible equipment. IP20.

Installation close to the ceiling

23 cm below the ceiling rose, 40 cm across: the four-light Piansi suits low ceilings and medium-sized rooms. In a kitchen, centre it on the room rather than above the worktop, where a directed source lights better.
