Pumpkin Ribbed Glass Pendant Lamp | Retro Green Hanging Light With A Golden Metal Accent Detail

Ribbed glass refracts light unevenly on purpose. Each vertical rib bends the output slightly differently, so instead of one smooth glow the shade lights in soft bands and the source never shows as a hard bright point. Hung low over a table, where people sit a metre from it, that is the difference between a light you can sit under all evening and one you keep noticing in the corner of your eye.

Green is a commitment and it should be treated as one. A clear or opal pendant works with any scheme, whereas a coloured one becomes a decision the room has to live with, which is exactly why it is worth doing over a bar or a kitchen counter. The gold detailing warms the green rather than cooling it further.

Buy it now and hang it where the colour will be seen, either alone over a bedside or in a row of three across an island. It is fifteen centimetres across by fifteen high and takes an E26 or E27 bulb which is not included, so an LED, an incandescent or a fluorescent bulb will all work in it depending on the warmth you want. This is a hardwired fixture and should be fitted by a qualified electrician.
