Stone above, light below. This travertine glass pendant light sets a hand carved block of beige travertine over a softly frosted glass globe, so the fitting is half mineral and half glow.

Raw Stone Against a Frosted Glass Core

Travertine is a porous stone, and that is exactly why it is used here: the pores, veins and earthy tones are geological rather than designed, so no two tops are alike. Against that rough surface the frosted globe reads as a soft warm core, with no visible bulb and no hard edge. The contrast is what makes the piece work in a Japandi or rustic minimal room, where the interest is meant to come from material rather than Color. Hung alone it suits a bedside or a hallway; arranged in a linear cluster of three at the same height it holds a dining table or a kitchen island without visual noise. The stone tone sits naturally with lime plaster, oak and unbleached linen.

Key Features

• Hand carved beige travertine top with natural pores and veining.
• Frosted glass globe that diffuses the light with no visible bulb.
• Every stone top differs, so the piece is never a copy of the photograph.
• Works alone or in a linear cluster of two or three.
• Single E27 lamp holder with an adjustable drop.
• Suits bedsides, dining tables, kitchen islands and entrance halls.

Where to Use It

Hang it low beside a bed, or in a row of three at even spacing over a dining table or an island. It also suits a hallway where a single warm point marks the way through.
