Art Deco Pendant Light in Pleated Fabric

Art Deco Pendant Light Built as a Tall Narrow Column of Pleated Fabric

Most pendants are wider than they are tall. This one is the reverse: 25 cm across and a full meter or more from the ceiling to the bottom, which makes it a vertical element in a room rather than a horizontal one. The shade is fabric pleated into close vertical folds, and it is made in two stacked sections, a long cylinder above a shorter drawn-in volume, so the silhouette breaks once instead of running as a single uninterrupted tube. The pleating is where the art deco reading comes from. Lit, each fold catches the light on one side and holds a shadow on the other, so the whole surface reads as a run of fine vertical lines rather than as a flat glowing wall. It is the same logic as a fluted column or a stepped facade, applied to cloth. The body is iron and a touch switch operates it.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Why is it so tall and narrow?

Because it is designed as a vertical element rather than a shade over a table. At 25 cm across and a meter or more long, it fills the empty vertical space in a tall room the way a column does, and it lights over its whole height rather than from a single point, which is why one fixture covers 15 to 30 square meters despite its narrow diameter.

Which height should I choose?

The 100 cm version fits a normal ceiling, hung beside a bed or in a pair over a counter. The 120 cm wants a ceiling above the usual 2.5 m, or a stairwell. The 140 cm is for a double height room, a landing or a window wall. Measure the drop you actually have before ordering, since the fixture cannot be shortened.

What makes the pleating worth having?

It changes what the lit shade looks like. Each fold catches light on one side and holds a shadow on the other, so the surface reads as a run of fine vertical lines instead of a flat glowing wall. On a shade this tall that texture is most of the visual interest, and it is where the art deco reference comes from.

Is it dimmable?

Only if you choose the dimmable version at order. The standard versions come in warm white or cool white at a fixed level, operated by a touch switch on the fixture. The dimmable version costs slightly more and is worth taking in a bedroom or anywhere the fixture is the main source in the evening.

Does it arrive assembled?

Assembly is required. The shade sections and the iron body arrive separately and are put together on site, which is normal for a fixture this long: assembled, a 140 cm pendant would not survive transport intact. Allow time for it and unpack on a soft surface, since pleated fabric creases.

How do I clean pleated fabric?

Dry only, and with care. Use a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest suction with a brush head, working down the folds rather than across them so nothing catches an edge of a pleat. Keep water away from the fabric: a damp cloth both marks it and can relax the pleating, which does not recover.

Three Heights from One Meter to One Meter Forty, and Where Each One Belongs

All three versions share the same 25 cm diameter and differ only in length, which makes the choice a question of the room rather than of the table. At 100 cm the fixture suits a normal ceiling, hung singly beside a bed or in a pair over a counter, and it stays within the vertical space most rooms have to spare. At 120 cm it wants a ceiling above the usual 2.5 m or a stairwell. At 140 cm it is a piece for a double height room, a hallway with a landing above it or a window wall, and in a normal room it simply will not fit. One fixture covers 15 to 30 square meters, which is generous for a shade this narrow and comes from the fact that it lights over its whole height rather than from one point. Assembly is required. The touch switch handles on and off, and dimming is chosen at order. Indoor use only.
