Adjustable Pendant Light with a Flat Drum Shade

Adjustable Pendant Light Built on a Cloth Drum Only Ten Centimeters Deep

The shade is a drum in the strict sense of the word: straight sides, a circular rim, open at the top and at the bottom, in a plain cream cloth. What sets it apart is the proportion. At 10 cm deep on a 45 cm circle it reads as a disc rather than as a volume, and that changes what it does in a room. A deep drum takes visual height and makes a ceiling feel lower; this one covers the table underneath without occupying the space above it, which is why it works where headroom is short. Inside, a black iron frame with three arms carries the cloth and stays visible through the open top, so the fixture shows its own structure instead of hiding it. That frame is the only hard element on an otherwise soft object, and it is what stops a shade this shallow from looking like an accident.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

How deep is the shade, really?

Ten centimeters, on either diameter. That is shallow for a drum and it is the reason to choose this one: it covers the surface underneath without taking visual height, so a room with a low ceiling keeps its headroom. A conventional drum of the same width would be three or four times as deep and would read as a block above the table.

Which diameter should I choose?

The 45 cm version is the dining table size and the one that makes the disc effect read from across the room. The 30 cm version suits a console, a small table, a hallway or a pair over a narrow counter. Both are 10 cm deep, so choosing between them changes the width of the pool of light and nothing else.

Is the top of the shade open?

Yes, both ends are open. Light goes down onto the table and up onto the ceiling in roughly equal measure, and the ceiling bounce is what keeps the rest of the room from going dark. It also means the bulb is visible from above and from the side at close range, so a frosted lamp is the better choice than a clear filament one.

Can I choose the light?

Yes, at order: warm 3000K, cool 5000K or a three color dimmable version that lets you switch between settings after installation. Warm suits a dining room in the evening, cool suits a work surface, and the three color version is the one to take if the room does both jobs at different times of day.

How high should it hang over a table?

The bottom of the shade usually sits around 75 to 85 cm above the table surface, and the cord adjusts up to 120 cm so you can set that exactly. Because the shade is only 10 cm deep it stays clear of the sight line across the table even at the lower end of that range, which is not true of a deeper drum.

What is it made of, and how do I clean it?

Iron and cloth: a black iron frame with three arms, visible through the open top, carrying a plain cream cloth drum. Clean it dry, with a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest suction with a brush head, working around the drum rather than across it. Keep water away from the cloth, since a damp cloth leaves a mark that stays.

What the Open Top Does to the Light, and Setting the Height on the Cord

Both ends of this shade are open, and that is the whole lighting behavior. Through the bottom it drops a wide even pool onto the table. Through the top it sends an equal share straight up onto the ceiling, which bounces back down as soft fill and keeps the room from splitting into a bright table and dark walls. One consequence is worth knowing before you hang it: the source is visible from above and from the side at close range, so a frosted lamp is the sensible choice over a clear filament one. The cord adjusts up to 120 cm. Over a dining table the bottom of the shade usually sits around 75 to 85 cm above the surface, and because the shade is only 10 cm deep it stays well clear of the sight line even at the lower end of that range. Dust the cloth dry with a soft brush. Indoor use only.
