Renvo Travertine Disc Flush Ceiling Light

The Renvo sets a rounded opal glass dome inside a shallow travertine dish, capped by a small walnut canopy at the ceiling. The stone is left with its natural pitting and banding, which gives the flat underside of a ceiling something with real texture to catch the light. It is a small fitting, and it is meant to be looked at as closely as it is looked up at.

The glass dome carries most of the output downward, while the travertine dish picks up a warm reflected halo around it, so the room is lit without the glare of a bare shade. The fitting measures 25 cm across and only 10 cm deep. It takes one small capsule bulb and will work with a dimmer switch if one is fitted. Renvo can be mounted on a ceiling or on a wall.

That shallow depth makes it workable in rooms with low headroom, over a stairwell, or in a corridor where a hanging pendant would be in the way, and wall mounting opens up landings and alcoves as well. Because travertine is quarried rather than moulded, surface pores and hairline seams are part of the material. The fitting is hardwired, so installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
