Natural Rattan Tall Bell Pendant
27 cm wide and 53 cm tall: this is a proper vertical, close to twice as deep as it is broad, which is an unusual proportion in woven lighting and a genuinely useful one. Tall narrow shades fit where wide ones cannot, in a stairwell, beside a bed, along a narrow counter, or wherever ceiling height is available and floor width is not. The bell profile keeps it from looking like a tube.
The bell shape flares slightly at the mouth, so despite the narrow body the light still spreads a little as it leaves the shade rather than falling in a hard column. Most of the output goes down: the sides are woven densely along their length, which is what keeps the fixture from glaring at eye level even though it hangs low.
A run of three or five along an island is where the proportion pays off, since narrow shades can be spaced closely without the outlines colliding. Available hardwired or plug-in. Bulbs are not included, since they travel badly; use an energy-saving LED or incandescent bulb of 60 W or less. Indoor use only. Dust the length of the shade with a dry soft brush.
