Macaron Bauhaus Pendant Light | Modern Colourful Ceiling Lamp With Mix And Match Colourways

Bauhaus put primary colour on plain geometry and made both look better for it. This Marlow Vane pendant does the same thing in softer macaron tones, pairing a coloured metal shade with a contrasting detail so the fitting reads as a small piece of design rather than as a lamp somebody chose from a catalogue in a hurry.

The mix and match is what makes it interesting. Five shade colours combine with five accent colours, giving twenty combinations from white on white at the quietest end through to black on red at the loudest. That means the same fitting can disappear into a pale kitchen or become the single deliberate piece of colour in an otherwise neutral room.

Buy it now and choose the combination rather than settling for the default. Because the shade is a mini size, hang it in a run of two or three over an island or a breakfast bar where a single small pendant would look lost. 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 work begins, and the shade left to cool before it is wiped down with a soft dry cloth.
