The Stave | Long Wooden Kitchen Light – 5-Light

The Stave A long wooden kitchen light handcrafted from a reclaimed whisky barrel stave – a distinctive 5-light design for kitchen islands, dining tables and lower ceilings, with a lead time of just 4 weeks. The Stave takes everything we love about our larger wooden beam chandeliers and strips the design back to its simplest form. Handmade in our Devon workshop from a single reclaimed whisky barrel stave, its natural curve creates the framework for five individually suspended bulbs. At approximately 93cm long, it's substantial enough to create a feature above a dining table, kitchen island, home bar or entertaining space, without the scale, weight or cost of one of our larger timber chandeliers. If you're planning lighting over an island, our Kitchen Island Lighting Guide has more advice on choosing the right size, position and style. Two ways to hang it The Stave can be mounted directly against the ceiling, as photographed. Turning the natural curve of the stave downwards creates a beautiful arch while eliminating the chains normally used to suspend our timber canopies. This saves precious headroom, making The Stave particularly useful as a long kitchen light for a low ceiling, or anywhere a traditional suspended chandelier wouldn't work. You can find more space-saving designs in our Lighting for Low Ceilings collection. Have more height to play with? The Stave can instead be suspended from ceiling hooks and chains, with the suspension configured to suit your room. For more help choosing and positioning reclaimed timber lighting, see our Wooden Beam Lights Guide. Bespoke lighting, beautifully simplified Using a single reclaimed whisky stave requires fewer materials and making hours than our larger multi-piece chandeliers. We've deliberately kept the construction simple to offer genuine handmade MooBoo lighting at a lower price point, without compromising on craftsmanship or character. Every stave has already lived another life. Expect individual grain, knots, markings, colour variations and subtle differences in curvature – they're part of its history rather than imperfections. No two Staves will ever be exactly alike. The single-stave construction also makes The Stave considerably lighter than our larger solid-oak chandeliers, making it ideal when you want the warmth and impact of reclaimed timber lighting without the bulk of a larger beam. Make it yours The Stave features five lamp holders, with a choice of finishes and decorative cable options, allowing you to take the design from understated and contemporary to warm, traditional or industrial. Bulbs make a big difference to the finished look. Our ST64 and Small Globe decorative bulbs are currently £13.50 each, while Large Globe bulbs, as photographed, are currently £19.99 each. Please note: bulbs are not included in the fixture price and should be purchased separately.

Designed around your home Sometimes bespoke lighting isn't about making something bigger or more elaborate. It's about solving the particular problem a room presents. Not enough ceiling height? We can lose the chains. Need the fixture lower? We can add them. Want to keep the overall project cost down? Choose simpler decorative bulbs. Need a particular drop or finish? We'll configure the design around it. That's The Stave: a simpler MooBoo chandelier, without losing the things that make it MooBoo.
