Oversized Ceiling Light in Overlapping Shades

Oversized Ceiling Light Assembled from Hand Knitted Fabric Shades That Overlap

The shades do not stack, they overlap. Each one is offset from the next, so the silhouette turns as it descends and no two viewing angles give the same shape: from one side the fixture is a broad soft mass, from another it is a set of edges stepping around a center. Where two shades cross, the cloth doubles and the light dims, which is what gives the piece its depth. It is lit unevenly on purpose, and a fixture this large would look flat if it were not. The cloth is beige and coarse enough to show its own weave against the light. Size is the other half of the argument. The medium is 60 cm across and 57 cm deep, the large 80 by 75 cm, and the extra large 100 by 95 cm, which belongs over a long table, in a stairwell or in a room with real height. Bulbs are included on an E27 base.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Why do the shades overlap instead of stacking?

Because overlapping turns the silhouette as it descends. Each shade is offset from the next, so the outline changes with the viewing angle and the fixture never reads as one flat volume. Where two shades cross, the cloth doubles and the light dims, which is what gives a piece this large its depth when it is switched on.

Which size fits an ordinary room?

The medium, at 60 cm across and 57 cm deep. It reads as substantial over a dining table without filling the room, and it works under a standard ceiling. The large at 80 by 75 cm wants about 2.8 m of height and a long table. The extra large at 100 by 95 cm is a stairwell or double height piece.

How far can the drop be adjusted?

Up to 120 cm, which is what makes the larger sizes usable in a tall space. Set the drop so the bottom of the lowest shade clears the sight line across the table, normally around 75 to 85 cm above the surface. In a stairwell the piece is hung to be read from two levels at once, so the drop is longer.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, through a knob switch on the fixture. That matters on a piece this size: at full output a 100 cm shade lights a whole room, and being able to take it down to an evening level is what makes it livable rather than only impressive. The light temperature itself is chosen when you order, from warm 3000K to white 6000K.

Are bulbs included?

Yes, LED bulbs come with the fixture on an E27 base, and the light temperature is chosen at order. The fixture runs on AC 90 to 260V at 249 to 2000 lumens depending on the size and the setting, and one covers roughly 5 to 10 square meters, which is a guide rather than a rule for a piece of this scale.

How do I clean it?

Dry care only. Use a soft dry cloth or a vacuum on its lowest suction with a brush head, following the weave rather than crossing it, and pay attention to the upper faces where the shades overlap, since dust settles there out of sight. Keep water away from the cloth. This is an indoor fitting.

Sizing a Very Large Fixture to the Room, and Using the Dimmer and the Drop

Get the size right first, because this is a fixture that cannot be hidden. The medium at 60 by 57 cm is the one for an ordinary dining room with a standard ceiling: it reads as substantial without filling the space. The large at 80 by 75 cm wants a long table or a wide room, and it needs about 2.8 m of ceiling before the proportions work. The extra large at 100 by 95 cm is a stairwell and double height piece, seen from more than one level, and it is the wrong choice in a room with a flat standard ceiling. The suspension adjusts up to 120 cm, which is what makes the larger sizes usable in a tall space: set the drop so the bottom of the lowest shade clears the sight line across the table, normally around 75 to 85 cm above the surface. A knob switch dims the fixture, so a piece this large can be taken down to an evening level rather than run at full output all the time. The light temperature is chosen at order. Dust the cloth dry, following the weave. Indoor rooms only.
