Glass Disc Linear Chandelier | Brass | CLDSCL

The Glass Disc Linear is the long form of the glass disc chandelier: shallow oval discs in hand-blown white glass, each carried on a tapered socket and angled at its own tilt off a steel armature in a brass finish. It is made in two lengths, 157.5 cm (62") with eight discs and 186.7 cm (73.5") with ten, both 50.8 cm (20") deep and 37.5 cm (14.75") high.

How it lights a room

The discs face in different directions, some tilted toward the ceiling and some angled down, and each tapered socket conceals its light source behind the glass. Light reads off the surface of the discs, and a good part of it returns off the ceiling, so the effect is a broad, even ambient light with no glare from any angle. It is not a downlight: over a working kitchen island, keep recessed or under-cabinet task lighting alongside it.

The glass

Each disc is hand-blown, with a soft cloudy banding that runs differently across every piece. The white body is dense enough to hide the light source completely while still glowing warm when lit. That variation from disc to disc is the mark of hand-blown glass, not a defect.

Sizing and placement

Let the table or island run roughly 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18") past the fixture at each end: the 157.5 cm suits a surface of about 220 to 250 cm (87 to 98"), the 186.7 cm one of 250 cm (98") or longer. Hang the lowest disc 75 to 90 cm (30 to 35") above the surface. At 50.8 cm (20") deep it is broader than a single-row linear, so it reads as a long cloud of light rather than a line.

The light source

Integrated LED: eight LEDs totalling 30W on the 157.5 cm, ten totalling 36W on the 186.7 cm, rated to around 30,000 hours. Warm white at 2700K as standard. There are no bulbs to buy or replace.

Installation

Hardwired to a ceiling box. The estimated weight is about 16 to 22 kg (35 to 49 lb) depending on length, so have your electrician confirm the ceiling fixing before hanging. The suspension length is made to order for higher ceilings.

Care

Dust the discs with a soft dry cloth, or wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Dust the metal with a dry cloth; no polish, which would wear the brass finish.

Made to order

Suspension length and metal finish can be specified before production, with finishes from the Casalola metal finish chart. The same design is made as a round chandelier in 107 cm and 152 cm (42" and 60"). Dimming and a sloped ceiling adapter are available on request.
