Metal Ribbon Ceiling Light | CL377852G

The Metal Ribbon Ceiling Light is a sculpture of overlapping iron ribbons, curved and layered around acrylic diffusers that soften the light. It comes in two diameters, 60 cm (23.6″) and 80 cm (31.5″), in a gold or grey finish, and hangs on a 50 cm (19.7″) chain. Its broad, low shape suits a dining table, a kitchen island, a reception area or an entrance hall.

The iron

The ribbons are bands of iron, shaped into curves and set one over another so light and shadow shift across them as you move through the room. The gold finish brings out the movement of each band; the grey is quieter and more architectural. Inside, acrylic diffusers spread the light so the lamps are not seen directly.

Why warm light matters

A metallic finish reflects the colour of the light around it. At 2700K the gold glows warm and the grey takes on a soft pewter tone; cooler light makes both look cold and hard. On this piece, warm white is part of the design.

Sizing and placement

The 60 cm (23.6″) suits a round or square table of about 90 to 120 cm (35 to 47″), a short kitchen island, or a room of around 3 × 3.5 m (10 × 11.5 ft). The 80 cm (31.5″) suits a table of about 120 to 160 cm (47 to 63″) or a room of around 4 × 4.5 m (13 × 15 ft). Over a table, hang the bottom 75 to 90 cm (30 to 35″) above the surface. Because the piece is broad and low, it keeps sightlines open across the room.

Suspension

The light hangs on a 50 cm (19.7″) chain as standard. The chain is made longer or shorter to order for your ceiling height.

The light

The acrylic diffusers turn the lamps into a warm, even glow that spills out between the ribbons and throws soft shadows onto the ceiling. It is an ambient light rather than a focused downlight; over a kitchen island, keep task lighting alongside it.

Lamping and installation

Warm white light at 2700K. The fixture is hardwired and should be installed by an electrician.

Care

Switch off and let it cool. Dust the iron with a dry microfibre cloth. Clean the acrylic diffusers with a lightly damp cloth, without solvent-based cleaners.

Made to order

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