Verda Green Fabric Drum Pendant Light

The Verda brings a soft, layered glow to a table. Its deep green fabric drum conceals three stepped white diffuser tiers, so the light lands gently on the surface below rather than glaring out into the room. A slender walnut-toned wooden stem runs through the centre, finishing the piece with a quiet mid-century touch that keeps the colour from feeling heavy overhead.

The shade is fabric over a metal frame, with wood detailing top and bottom, and it measures 45 cm in diameter. It hangs from an adjustable cord supplied at 150 cm, which can be shortened to suit the ceiling height, and the fitting works on sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees. It takes a standard E26/E27 bulb and is wired for AC 110-240V throughout.

It suits dining rooms, kitchens and bedrooms alike, and sits well over a table or an island where the three tiers do the work of shielding the bulb from view. The fitting is compatible with dimmer switches, so it moves from bright family dinners down to a low evening glow. It hardwires for a clean ceiling finish, so a qualified electrician should install it. Dust the fabric gently and take care not to dampen the shade when cleaning around the fitting.
