The Masya PE is a 310mm perforated metal pendant in antique brass, hungfrom a chain one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

The perforations are the product

The shade is cut through with a pattern, and that changes what the fitting doesentirely. A solid shade directs light; a perforated onethrows the pattern onto the walls and ceiling around it. Lit at night the Masyaprojects a field of shaped shadows across a room, sothe light itself becomes the decoration rather than the object hanging from theceiling. In a hallway or a stairwell, where you look at the walls as much as the fitting, that is agenuinely different result.

Choose the globe with the shadows in mind. The sharpness ofthe pattern depends on the size of the light source. Asmall, clear globe a compact filament or a clear candle castscrisp, defined shadows. A large frosted globe spreads the sourceand gives soft, blurred ones. Neither is wrong, but they are two different fittings,and the globe is not supplied.

It does not change colour. Our record carries acolour-changing flag against it. It takes one ordinary E27 globe and includes none there is nothing in the fitting capable of it.

A chain, not a rod or a cord

Worth noting because it affects the look and the install. A chain suspensionreads as vintage and industrial where a cord reads as modern and a rod asarchitectural and it hangs plumb under its own weight rather than needing tobe straightened. At 1.9kg over 2,000mm, adjustable atinstall, on a 120mm canopy.

310 by 450mm taller than it is wide

An upright proportion, which suits a chain: the eye follows the line down. At310mm across it is not a dining-table pendant it is ahallway, stairwell or corner fitting, or one of a pair flanking something.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired. Alicensed electrician installs it, and on this page that requirement is genuine.Dimming is globe dependent: a dimmable E27 with a wall dimmer will dim it, a plainglobe will not. Our record carries no value at all against dimmable.

Where it works

• Hallways and stairwells, where the shadow pattern lands on the walls.
• Corners and alcoves, as a lit texture rather than a light.
• In pairs, flanking a doorway or a stair.
• Not a dining-table pendant 310mm and upright.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

What do the perforations do?

They throw the cut pattern onto the walls and ceiling around the fitting. A solid shade directs light; a perforated one makes the light itself the decoration at night it projects a field of shaped shadows across the room.

What globe should I fit?

It depends on the shadows you want. A small, clear globe a compact filament or clear candle casts crisp, defined shadows. A large frosted globe spreads the source and gives soft, blurred ones. Neither is wrong; they are two different fittings.

Does it change colour?

No. Our record carries a colour-changing flag against it, which is wrong it takes one ordinary E27 globe and includes none.

Why a chain rather than a cord?

A chain reads as vintage and industrial where a cord reads modern and a rod architectural and it hangs plumb under its own weight rather than needing straightening.

Can I use it over a dining table?

It is not the right shape. At 310mm wide and 450mm tall it is an upright fitting, made for a hallway, a stairwell or a corner or one of a pair flanking a doorway.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable E27 with a wall dimmer will dim; a plain globe will not. Our record carries no value at all against dimmable.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes Class I, earth required, hard-wired. On this page that requirement is genuine.
