Aurelia Dome Pendant | Black Stainless Steel | CLSS8500

The Aurelia is a broad, hemispherical dome pendant in hand-finished stainless steel, hung on a stainless steel chain. It comes in five diameters: 30 cm (11.8″), 35 cm (13.8″), 40 cm (15.7″), 45 cm (17.7″) and 50 cm (19.7″), and in three finishes: matte black, bronze and antique gold. It hangs from a 50 cm (19.7″) chain. It suits a dining alcove, a kitchen island or an entrance hall, on its own or in a run.

The frame

The dome and chain are stainless steel, finished by hand. Matte black gives a quiet, graphic shape against a pale ceiling. Bronze is warm and dark. Antique gold is the softest and warmest of the three. The chain is heavy enough to read as part of the design rather than a fitting.

Sizing and placement

The 30 and 35 cm (11.8 and 13.8″) sizes suit a run of two or three over a kitchen island, or a single light over a small table. The 40 and 45 cm (15.7 and 17.7″) sizes suit a table for four, about 90 to 120 cm (35 to 47″). The 50 cm (19.7″) size suits a table of about 120 to 150 cm (47 to 59″) or an entrance hall. Over a table or island, hang the rim 75 to 90 cm (30 to 35″) above the surface.

Suspension

The pendant hangs from a 50 cm (19.7″) chain. The chain is made longer or shorter to order to suit your ceiling.

The light

The lamp sits inside the dome and shines down, so the Aurelia gives a focused pool of light on the surface below and keeps the ceiling above soft. Over an island it works as task light. In a large room, pair it with softer ambient light elsewhere.

Lamping and installation

E27 lamp; a warm LED filament bulb suits it. Warm white at 2700K. The bulb is not included. The pendant weighs about 8.5 to 15 kg (18.7 to 33.1 lb) depending on diameter. Have your electrician fix it to a joist or reinforced blocking rather than a standard ceiling box.

Care

Switch off and let the lamp cool. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Do not use metal polish or abrasive cleaners on any of the finishes.

Made to order

Every Aurelia is made to order. The chain length can be set to your ceiling, and dimming is available on request.
