Concentric Veil Fabric Pendant Light

Fabric pendant · Dual-layer Concentric Veil, light inside light. A drum within a drum. The bulbs sit inside the inner shade, so every bit of light reaching the room has already passed through two layers of high-translucency woven fabric — diffused once, then again. Glow instead of glare, and a depth that a single shade flattens out.

Switched off in daylight it is a calm beige cylinder with a dark ring set into its underside — a form, not a fixture. After dark the two layers separate, and the gap between them becomes the brightest line on the piece. Hover to hold it lit OffSwitch the pendant offSwitch the pendant onOn Switched off A calm beige cylinder with a dark ring set into its underside. Two rings and a shadow gap, reading as a form rather than a fixture — which is what lets it sit in a room that is already finished. Switched on The two layers separate. The outer veil turns honey, the gap between them becomes the brightest line on the piece, and the weave comes forward as texture you can see from the table. The pendant switches itself on and off. Use the switch to hold it either way, or rest the pointer on the image. The idea A familiar shape, built twice. The drum pendant is the most ordinary silhouette in lighting. Concentric Veil keeps the outline and rebuilds the inside, so there is something to look at whether the switch is up or down. Two shades, one glow The inner shade carries the sockets, the outer veil carries the glow. Between them sits a shadow gap that gives the fixture depth from across the room. Fabric chosen for light High-translucency textile with a natural woven grain. Lit from inside, the weave reads as fine texture across the surface rather than a flat panel of white. Out of your eye line The inner layer keeps all four bulbs from view at standing height. Soft light falls to the table below; the rest spreads through the sides as ambient wash. Made by hand Each shade is wrapped and trimmed by hand over a black metal frame. The seam, the top ring and the edge binding are finished by a person, not stamped. Anatomy Look closer, piece by piece. 01 The bound edge Both drums are wrapped in the same linen and closed with a folded, hand-bound edge. From underneath you read the whole construction at once — the outer rim, the air gap, and the inner shade’s edge sitting inside it. 02 Four sockets, one spider A black steel hub carries four E26 / E27 holders on thin wire arms, suspended inside the inner shade. Max 15W a socket. All four sit above the inner drum’s opening, so no filament is ever in your eye line. 03 The cord and its grip Braided fabric cord, not a plastic sleeve, clamped in a machined matte-black grip with a knurled collar and a set screw. That screw is what holds your drop: set the height once and the cord will not creep. 04 Both sizes, same build ∅ 50 cm and ∅ 70 cm next to each other. Same linen, same bound edge, same cord and grip assembly — both the diameter and shade height change: 50 × 49 cm (19.7 × 19.3 in) or 70 × 67 cm (27.5 × 26.4 in). The light path How the light travels. A cross-section through the middle of the fixture. Two layers, one air gap, and nothing in the room you have to squint past. OUTER VEILINNER SHADE4 × MAX 15WWIDE AMBIENT WASHPOOL ON THE TABLE 01 The source Four bulbs on one spider, 15W maximum each, sit inside the inner shade — never in open view. 02 First diffusion The inner fabric evens out the filament. What leaves it is already soft, with no bright point left to throw a hard edge. 03 The bloom Light fills the cavity between the two layers and lifts the outer veil to an even brightness, edge to edge. 04 The spread A warm pool lands on the table below. The rest leaves through the sides as a wide, low-contrast wash across the room. Sizing Two sizes, two jobs. Drawn to scale against the table each one is meant for, at the hanging height we recommend. The small one works in multiples and in tight rooms; the large one works alone, over something worth centring on. ∅ 50 cmDrop 80 cmTable 90 cm Small ∅ 50 cm × H 49 cm / ∅ 19.7″ × H 19.3″ Entryways, breakfast nooks, bedside in a pair, and round tables up to about 90 cm / 35″. Two or three in a row suit a standard kitchen island. ∅ 70 cmDrop 80 cmTable 180 cm Large ∅ 70 cm × H 67 cm / ∅ 27.5″ × H 26.4″ Dining tables of 120–180 cm / 47–71″ as a single pendant, living rooms, open-plan spaces and stairwell drops with height to spare. Both scenes are drawn to the same scale, against a 2.5 m ceiling and a 75 cm table height. Table rule Aim for a pendant roughly one half to one third the width of the table, or the diameter of the round top it hangs over. Hang height 75–90 cm / 30–35″ from the tabletop to the bottom edge of the shade. Lower for intimacy, higher if the table is wide. Walkway clearance Keep the bottom of the shade at least 2.1 m / 6′10″ above any floor people walk through. In a row For the 50 cm size over an island, space centres 70–80 cm / 28–32″ apart and keep the end pendants in from the island edges. Ceiling height The supplied 150 cm / 59″ cord covers standard ceilings at dining height. For higher ceilings, tell us the ceiling height and the drop you want before you order.

For comparison Not just another drum shade. Same wall, same bulb, same distance. The difference is what the shade does with it. Concentric Veil— two layers No bright point anywhere. The veil holds one even value from edge to edge, and the light lands as a soft pool. Typical drum— one layer The bulb sits in the open base. It is the brightest thing in the room, and the edge of the light is hard. Concentric Veil Typical single-layer drum Shade structure Two concentric fabric shades with an air gap One shade, often with an open or louvred base Bulbs in view All four hidden inside the inner shade Visible from below, and often from the side Surface when lit Even across the whole veil, weave still readable Brighter where the bulb sits, flatter elsewhere When switched off Two rings and a shadow gap — still has depth A plain cylinder Light distribution Pool below plus wide ambient wash through the sides Mostly downward, with a harder edge Construction Hand-wrapped fabric over a metal frame Machine-assembled, bonded shade CEILING20″ / 50 cm39″ / 100 cm59″ / 150 cmSUPPLIEDSHORTEN ANYWHERE ON SITE Made to fit Tell us the ceiling, we'll cut the cord. Every fixture ships with 150 cm / 59″ of cord, which an electrician can shorten anywhere on site. If you need it longer — a stairwell, a double-height room, a vaulted ceiling — message us with the ceiling height and the drop you want before you order, and we will prepare it for you. 01 Answered in 24 hours Write to us about sizing, drop length or a room you are unsure about, and you will hear back within a day. 02 Handmade, so no two match Slight variation in the weave and in the beige tone is part of the material, not a fault. 03 Works on any mains AC 110–240V and an E26 / E27 socket, so the fixture is at home wherever it lands. Sloped ceilings Angled ceiling, level shade. The canopy in the box is a sloped-ceiling canopy. It tilts to sit flush against the pitch while the cord drops plumb, so the drum hangs level whatever the ceiling is doing above it. Nothing to order separately. CEILING PITCHSLOPED CANOPY · INCLUDEDCORD DROPS PLUMBSHADE HANGS LEVEL 01 Included, not an extra The sloped canopy ships with every fixture, in the same box. There is no adapter to buy and no part number to look up. 02 The shade stays level The cord pivots where it leaves the canopy, so the drum reads horizontal from every seat at the table — the thing that goes wrong when a flat canopy is forced onto a pitch. 03 Measure from the mounting point On a slope the drop is measured straight down from the ceiling where the fixture mounts, not from the low wall. Keep 2.1 m / 6′10″ clear under the shade wherever people walk. Questions Answered before you ask. Size ∅ 19.7″ or 27.5″ Cord 59″ / 150 cm supplied Bulb 4 × E26 / E27 · 15W each Mounting Ceiling, indoor Size & hanging03 Which size should I choose?As a rule, the pendant should measure about one half to one third of the table it hangs over. The 50 cm size suits round tables up to 90 cm / 35″, entryways and bedsides, and works in rows of two or three over an island. The 70 cm size is for dining tables of 120–180 cm / 47–71″ and larger open rooms.How high should I hang it?Over a table, 75–90 cm / 30–35″ from the tabletop to the bottom edge of the shade. Anywhere people walk, keep the bottom edge at least 2.1 m / 6′10″ off the floor.How long is the wire, and can it be longer?We provide 150 cm / 59″ wires, which can be lengthened as needed — contact us before you order with your ceiling height and the drop you want. Light & bulbs03 Does it support dimming? Whether it supports dimming depends on what type of bulb you buy. If you buy a dimming bulb, this lamp will achieve a dimming function. The bulb provided by default does not support dimming. The fixture itself is controlled by a push button switch. What bulb do you recommend?Four 2700K warm white LEDs, 8–12W each, with E26 or E27 bases. Fifteen watts is the maximum per socket. We would avoid 4000K and cooler, which drains the warmth out of the beige fabric.Can I see the bulbs from below?Not at standing height — the inner shade covers the whole cluster. Sitting directly beneath and looking straight up, you see the lit inner shade rather than the filaments themselves. Install & care04 Can it hang from a sloped ceiling?Yes. A sloped-ceiling canopy comes with every fixture, so the canopy sits flush against the pitch while the cord drops plumb and the shade hangs level. Nothing extra to order.Is it hard to install?It mounts to the ceiling like any corded pendant, with a canopy covering the outlet. The fixture is light and no separate driver is required. We recommend a qualified electrician, as wiring standards differ by country.How do I clean the fabric?Dust it with a soft dry brush, or the brush head of a vacuum on low suction, working around the drum rather than across it. Do not use water, solvents or any wet cloth on the textile.Will the beige match the photos exactly?Close, but not identical. The shades are made from natural woven textile and finished by hand, so the tone and the grain vary a little from piece to piece, and screens render beige differently.
