Cylara Ceiling Light | Geometric Nordic Cylinder Design In Three Matte Painted Shade Colours

A plain cylinder is one of the hardest shapes to get right on a ceiling, because there is no detail to hide behind. Proportion is everything, and at thirty centimetres across by fifteen deep the Marlow Vane Cylara lands where it should, wide enough to read as deliberate from below and shallow enough not to hang down into the room at all.

Metal and resin with a matte texture is what gives it the ceramic look without the weight or the fragility of actual ceramic. Matte also means the fitting does not throw a moving highlight as you cross a room, which is the detail that makes gloss finishes look cheaper than they really are in a bright room with a window opposite.

Buy it now for a hallway, a bedroom or a living room, and pick the colour with the walls in mind. Black is graphic against pale plaster, green is the coolest and works beside timber, and red is the most confident of the three. It takes an E26 or E27 bulb which is not included, and it dims properly with a compatible dimmable bulb rather than flickering. This is a hardwired fixture and should be fitted by a qualified electrician.
