5-Link Walnut & Glass Chandelier | CLVGT0280

The 5-Link Chandelier is a chandelier of solid wood beams joined in a five-link grid, with twenty-one opal glass globes at the ends of the arms. It is made in walnut or ash, 118 cm (46.5″) long, 46 cm (18.1″) wide and 46 cm (18.1″) high, and hangs on a 50 cm (19.7″) black rod as standard. It is made for a long dining table, an open-plan living room or a lounge.

The wood

The beams are solid walnut or solid ash, joined in a precise, modular grid with brass fittings. Walnut is a deep, warm brown; ash is pale with a clear, open grain. The grain runs differently in every beam, so no two chandeliers are the same.

The glass

Each arm ends in a globe of opal glass. The opal glass hides the lamp and gives a soft, round glow that sits well against the wood.

Why warm light matters

Opal glass and natural wood both take on the colour of the light. At 2700K the globes glow cream and the wood looks rich and warm; cooler light makes the glass look chalky and the wood grey. On this piece, warm white is part of the design.

Sizing and placement

At 118 cm (46.5″) long, it suits a rectangular table of about 200 to 240 cm (79 to 94″), or an open-plan living room. Over a table, hang the bottom of the chandelier 75 to 90 cm (30 to 35″) above the surface.

Suspension

With the standard 50 cm (19.7″) rod, the chandelier hangs about 96 cm (38″) from the ceiling. Over a dining table that suits ceilings of roughly 2.4 to 2.6 m (8 to 8.5 ft). The rod is made longer or shorter to order, and in another colour on request.

The light

Twenty-one globes spread the light evenly in every direction, so the chandelier gives a soft, ambient light over the whole table. Over a kitchen island or a desk, keep task lighting alongside it.

Lamping and installation

Twenty-one lamps. Warm white LED at 2700K. Bulbs are not included. It weighs about 14 to 18 kg (31 to 40 lb). The fixture is hardwired; have your electrician fix it to a joist or reinforced blocking.

Care

Switch off and let the lamps cool first. Dust the wood with a soft dry cloth and keep water and cleaners off it. Wipe the globes with a soft dry cloth, or a lightly damp microfibre cloth for a deeper clean, keeping moisture away from the wood.

Made to order

Every chandelier is made to order in walnut or ash. The rod length is set to your ceiling height, and dimming is available on request.
