Pendant Lights

The one that hangs over the table.

240 mm across and only 150 mm tall - wider than it is deep, so it spreads light along a table rather than pooling it in the middle.

240 mm

The widest shade in the range

A pendant hangs at eye level for anybody sitting down, which is the one place in a room where a shade is looked at rather than glanced past. It is the size the pattern was drawn for.

Downward

The pattern lands on the table

Lit from directly above a surface, a perforated shade does not only glow - it throws what it is pierced with onto the table. Bone spreads it soft; slate gives you the edges.

2 m

Braided flex, shortened to your ceiling

The cord set arrives at 2 m with the ceiling rose and the lampholder fitted. Shorten it to the drop you want - about 750 mm above a table top is the usual answer.

LED only

Where the bulb matters most

Heat rises, and a pendant sits directly over its bulb rather than beside it, so it is the one shade that sits in its own rising heat. Recycled PETG takes that better than PLA would, but the 6 W LED in the box is still the reason it survives. This is the family to never improvise a bulb for.

Light where people sit.

Printed to order in Malaysia, one at a time, in a wall a single bead thick.

A pendant replaces the fitting at an existing ceiling point, which is electrical work. If you would not change a light fitting yourself, have an electrician hang it - it is a fifteen-minute job for one.

If you are not sure

Which size should I choose?

The measurement is the widest part of the shade, which is how lampshades are sold and how they are shelved.

Small suits a bedside table or a shelf. Table is the one most people want and fits a standard table lamp. Pendant is wider and shallower because it is seen from below and further away.

If the shade is going on a lamp you already own, measure the widest point of the old shade rather than its height.

What does the colour change?

More than the look. The wall is 0.42 mm thick, so the colour decides how much light gets through it as well as what colour that light is.

Bone passes about 60% of the light and gives the softest, most even glow. Slate passes about 23%: switched off it reads as a solid dark object, and switched on almost all you see is the pattern itself. Clay sits between them and throws amber.

Choose bone or sand if the lamp is meant to light the room. Choose clay or slate if it is meant to be the thing you look at.

What it is made of

Recycled PETG, matte. The feedstock is post-consumer drink bottles and post-industrial spool waste, reprocessed into filament rather than pressed into new pellets.

It was chosen on merit before it was chosen on principle. PETG is tougher than the PLA most printed shades use and far less brittle, which matters more here than on a solid object: the wall is 0.42 mm, and a thin PLA shell is genuinely fragile. It also softens at around 80 C rather than 60 C, so a sunny windowsill stops being something to think about.

It costs something real. A shade in this material takes roughly two to three times as long on the machine as the same shade in PLA, because PETG needs more cooling between layers and a thin shell gives it nowhere to lose that heat. That is the reason the range is short and nothing is printed before it is sold.

Recycled stock varies slightly from batch to batch, so two shades bought months apart may not be an exact colour match. That is what reclaimed material looks like, and it is the reason every colour here is described by what it does to the light rather than by a swatch.

How does it attach to my lamp?

Every shade has an E27 ring built into it, printed as one piece with four spokes. E27 is the ordinary large screw fitting used almost everywhere outside North America.

It drops over the lampholder and is held by the shade ring, the same as a fabric shade. Nothing is glued and nothing needs assembling.

If you have no lamp yet, add the cord set to hang it, or the wood base to stand it on a table.

Which bulb, and why it matters

LED only, 6 W or less, and this one is not a preference.

The shade is printed in recycled PETG, which softens at around 80 C - twenty degrees more headroom than the PLA most printed shades use, which is why a sunny windowsill is not a worry. An incandescent or halogen bulb inside an enclosed shade goes far past 80 C too, so the rule has not changed with the material. An LED runs cool enough that it never gets near.

2700 K is the warm white these are rendered and finished against. A cooler bulb will make bone look grey.
