Aluvia Pendant Light | Italian Modern Aluminium Design In Three Diameters and Four Bold Colours

Aluminium is the material Italian lighting keeps returning to, because it takes a colour cleanly and holds a crisp edge that heavier metals cannot. The Marlow Vane Aluvia uses that to its advantage, a spun shade with a sharp profile that reads as a designed object from across a room rather than as a fitting bought to fill a hole in the ceiling.

Three diameters change the piece completely. Thirty five centimetres is the version for a bedside, a hallway or a run of three over a narrow island. Forty five centimetres is the general purpose size over a dining table. Sixty centimetres is the statement, a shade with real presence that carries a large table or a double height space on its own.

Buy it now and choose the colour with the room in mind. Orange and red are the confident, warm options against neutral walls, black is the graphic choice, and white simply recedes into the ceiling. Over a dining table, leave roughly seventy centimetres of clearance above the surface. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, with the circuit isolated at the breaker before any work starts on it.
