Modern Geometric Wood Pendant Light Open Frame

An open frame is a strange kind of shade. It hides nothing and blocks nothing. What it does is give the bulb an outline, so a bare lamp stops looking like a bare lamp. The timber is natural and the frame is cut in flat sections, which is why the edges stay crisp. Hang one over a bedside table or three in a line over a kitchen bench. The hardware to fit it is in the box.

Light From an Open Frame

Because nothing encloses the bulb, light leaves in all directions.

The frame casts its own straight shadows onto the ceiling above.

That pattern is a large part of what you are buying here.

A closed shade decides where the light goes. This one does not decide anything.

Light reaches the ceiling, the walls and the table at the same time.

That makes it a room light rather than a task light.

Over a dining table it lifts the whole room rather than spotlighting the food.

If you need a bright working pool below, add a second light source.

The frame casts hard straight shadows, which is most obvious on a pale ceiling.

A clear filament bulb sharpens those shadows; a frosted bulb softens them.

Hexagon or Triangle

The hexagon is the rounder of the two and reads as softer.

The triangle is sharper and stands out more against a plain ceiling.

The hexagon has six short sides and reads as almost round from a distance.

The triangle has three long sides and keeps its corners visible across a room.

Hung in a row, mixing the two shapes gives a line some variation.

Hung on its own, the triangle is the more assertive of the two.

Both take the same bulb and hang from the same white cord.

Both are the same price, so this is purely a decision about the look.

Two over a kitchen bench is a common arrangement in the supplied photographs.

Fitting and Timber

It hangs from a white cord on a small ceiling plate.

Wood tone varies a little between pieces, as it does with any timber.

The cord is white, which keeps it quiet against a white ceiling.

Set the drop height before you tighten the cord at the ceiling plate.

The frame is light at 2.5 lb, so a standard ceiling box is plenty.

It is a hardwired pendant rather than a plug in fixture.

The timber is finished but unstained, so it stays a natural tone.

Wood darkens a little with age, as timber does.

Keep it out of a steamy bathroom. This is a dry room fixture.
