Japanese Vintage Wood Pendant Lamp

Wood and metal in a small, quiet pendant with the restraint that Japanese interiors are built on. There is no ornament, the proportions are modest, and the wood is left in a natural beige tone, so the fitting takes up almost no visual space in a room while still being clearly a designed object rather than a builder's fitting.

Small pendants are harder to find than large ones and often more useful. This one suits a bedside, a narrow hallway, a compact dining table or a landing, and it comes into its own in a row: three or five along a coffee shop counter, a breakfast bar or a restaurant banquette give a consistent line of light without any single fitting dominating. In a home, a pair either side of a bed at slightly different drops does the job of two table lamps and clears the nightstands. The wood warms the light and stops the metal from reading as industrial.

Made from wood and metal. Direct wired, 110V-240V, E27 bulb base, CE and UL certified. Bulb is not included. Wood is a natural material, so grain and tone vary between pieces. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and the fitting should be wired to the supply appropriate to your country.
