Travertine Stone Pendant Light Cylinder Ball Wabi Sabi Minimalist

Wabi sabi as a design idea is about accepting the irregular rather than correcting it, and travertine is close to a perfect material for it. The stone is full of small open pores and uneven banding, and no two pieces are alike. Lit from within, those irregularities are what you actually see, which is the opposite of what a moulded or machined shade offers.

Cylinder And Ball Stone Pendant Forms

The cylinder is the slimmer of the two, measuring 1.6 inches in diameter and 11.8 inches high according to the supplied dimensions drawing. It hangs as a narrow vertical column and works well in pairs or in a row, where the repeated line is the effect.

The ball is a rounded form and reads far softer, closer to a stone sphere hanging in the space. In the photography the ball versions are used singly above a kitchen island and in pairs over a dining table, while the cylinders are grouped. The two forms behave differently in a room, so choose on the shape you want rather than treating them as interchangeable.

Head Configurations And Hanging

Single, three, four and five head arrangements are offered, with two variations on the three head layout. A single head is the simplest to place. The multi head versions come from one ceiling point and spread from there, which suits a dining table or an island where you want the light spread along a length rather than concentrated.

The cord is adjustable, so the drop can be set at installation. Over a kitchen island the usual target is 30 to 36 inches from the countertop to the bottom of the shade; over a dining table, 28 to 34 inches above the tabletop. Estimated shipping weight is 6.5 pounds, which is the heaviest fixture in this group and reflects the stone.

Natural Stone, Bulbs And Voltage

Every shade is cut from natural travertine, so the pore pattern and banding vary from piece to piece. Treat the photographs as representative rather than exact. If you are ordering a multi head version, expect the individual shades to be recognisably the same stone but not matched.

The fixture runs LED bulbs and none are supplied. The voltage range is 90 to 260 volts, so it works on a United States 120 volt circuit without adaptation. The specification states plainly that the fixture is not dimmable, so plan the light level around the bulb output rather than expecting to trim it at the switch. A warm colour temperature suits the cream tone of the stone; a cool one will make it read grey.
