The Indio PE4 is a 500mm four-light pendant in black, with anadjustable octagonal frame in wood and iron fourE14 globes to 25W each, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

The frame adjusts which almost nothing else here does

The Indio’s octagonal frame is adjustable. That is genuinely unusual: nearly everypendant in this catalogue arrives in one shape and stays in it. Being able tochange the frame’s geometry means the same fitting can be setflatter and wider over a table, or tighter and taller in anentry and adjusted again later if the room changes around it.

Wood and iron and the record listed no material at all

Our product record carried no material field whatsoever. The Indio iswood and iron, and the combination is the whole style: theiron gives the frame its lines and thewood gives it warmth and grain, which is what separatesFrench provincial from plain industrial. An all-iron version of the same octagonwould read as a cage; the timber stops it.

500 by 500mm, and 3.7 kilograms

Square in proportion 500mm across and 500mmhigh which suits the octagonal geometry: it reads as asolid form rather than a lantern. At 3.7kg it isheavy for its size, because solid timber and iron are, so it needs aproper ceiling fixing rather than a plasterboard rose. The canopy projects only25mm, so the ceiling end stays discreet.

Four globes, and they are visible through an open frame

Four E14 to 25W each 100W in total, none supplied. The frameis open, so the globes show. That makes them part of the design:

• Decorative LED candle or golf-ball globes, not bare capsules.
• Warm 2700K, to sit with the timber. Cool white against wood lookswrong.
• Four matching globes. On an open frame, mismatched ones are unmistakable.

Dimming depends on the globes and our record says soproperly. The Indio’s dimmable field readsYes (Globe Dependent), which is theclearest phrasing in this catalogue: most products here record a bareNo that is simply wrong on a globe-fed fitting. Fitfour dimmable E14 LEDs and use a wall dimmer, and it will dim. On an open frame withvisible globes, dimming is worth having. Ask us and we will match a set of four.

It is ClassI earth required and hard-wired, andIP20 indoor and dry locations only. A licensed electrician installs it.

Where it works

• Over dining tables and islands set the frame flatter and wider.
• Entries and hallways set it tighter and taller.
• Rooms with timber, linen and painted joinery.
• The globes show buy four matching decorative LEDs.
• 3.7kg a proper ceiling fixing, not a plasterboard rose.

What is it made of?

Wood and iron and our product record carried no material field whatsoever. The iron gives the frame its lines and the wood gives it warmth and grain, which is what separates French provincial from plain industrial. An all-iron octagon would read as a cage.

What globes should I fit?

Four matching decorative LED candle or golf-ball globes in a warm 2700K. The frame is open, so the globes show cool white against timber looks wrong, and mismatched globes on an open frame are unmistakable.

Can I dim it?

Yes, with dimmable E14 LEDs and a wall dimmer. The Indios record actually says Yes (Globe Dependent), which is the clearest phrasing in this catalogue most products here record a bare No that is simply wrong on a globe-fed fitting.

Is 25 watts each or in total?

25W per globe, four globes, 100W in total.

What fixing does it need?
