Wabi Sabi Pendant Light with a Perforated Dome

Wabi Sabi Pendant Light with Openings Cut Through a Coarse Grained Dome

The shade is a low dome pierced with openings that are all different. Some are round, some are drawn out, a few are barely more than a notch at the rim, and none of them sits on a grid. The surface between them is worked with a coarse grain instead of being smoothed, so the piece reads as something eroded or found rather than something molded, and that is the whole wabi-sabi argument: the irregularity is the design, not a defect in it. Three colors are offered and each changes how much the fixture asserts itself. White disappears into a pale ceiling and leaves only the pattern of shadows. Cream warms against wood and shows the grain of the surface from further away. Black turns the dome into a silhouette and makes the lit openings read as points rather than as a glow.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Are the openings the same on every shade?

The pattern is the same from one shade to the next, but it was never designed as a regular grid: the openings differ in size and shape, some are round, some are drawn out, and a few are little more than a notch at the rim. That irregularity is deliberate and it is what makes the scatter of light on the ceiling read as organic.

Does it light the room or only the table?

Both, and that is the point of it. The wide open mouth drops an even pool straight down onto the table, while the openings cut through the shell throw bright irregular shapes onto the ceiling and the nearest wall. In a room where this is the only source in the evening, that scatter is most of what you notice.

Which size should I choose?

The 45 cm version, 28 cm deep, suits a table for four, a kitchen island or a corner where something larger would crowd the room. The 60 by 35 cm version covers a table for six and has the presence to be the main object in the room. One fixture covers 10 to 15 square meters, which is the number to plan against.

Which color suits my room?

White disappears into a pale ceiling and leaves only the pattern of shadows it casts. Cream warms against wood or a sand colored wall and shows the grain of the surface from further away. Black turns the dome into a silhouette and makes the lit openings read as sharp points rather than as an overall glow.

How is it switched, and can it be dimmed?

A touch switch turns it on and off, so there is no pull cord or wall dimmer involved in the fixture itself. It is not dimmable: the level is fixed. In a dining room that usually means pairing it with a second source you can control, a table lamp or a wall fitting, rather than relying on this one alone in the evening.

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

The shell is high density polystyrene finished with a coarse grain. Clean it dry: a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest suction with a brush head, worked gently over the surface and around the edges of the openings so nothing catches. Keep water away from the grain, since a damp cloth leaves a mark that stays visible.

How the Openings Light a Room, and Choosing Between the 45 and 60 cm Sizes

This fixture lights in two directions at once, which is the practical reason to choose it. The wide open mouth drops an even pool straight down onto a table, and the openings cut through the shell throw a scatter of bright irregular shapes onto the ceiling and the nearest wall. In an evening room with this as the only source, that scatter is most of what you see. The 45 cm version, 28 cm deep, suits a table for four, a kitchen island or a corner where a larger shade would crowd the space. The 60 by 35 cm version covers a table for six and has the presence to be the object in the room. One fixture covers 10 to 15 square meters. LED bulbs are included on an E27 base, a touch switch operates it, and the fixture is not dimmable. Dust the grain dry with a soft brush. Indoor use only.
