The Polk is a 300mm cone pendant in eight finishes brushedmetals, two-tone combinations and two oak options. It is a modern industrial shape, and the finish rangeis really the point: this is a fitting chosen to match a kitchen, not to stand apart from it.

Eight finishes, and two of them are timber

Brushed aluminium, black, bronze, gold and white cover the metal range; black with copper is thetwo-tone; and OakBlack and OakWhite pair a timber tone with a paintedinterior. The oaks are the ones to consider against timber joinery, where an all-metal pendant can readas an afterthought.

Sized to hang in a row

At 300mm and 270mm tall the Polk is deliberately modest, which iswhy it works in multiples. Two or three over an island at even centres is the usual arrangement. Thelisting quotes an overall height of 1,770mm including suspension, so there isplenty to shorten on installation and shortening is normal, not a compromise.

Where it works

• Kitchen islands and breakfast bars, in rows of two or three.
• Dining tables, single over a small table or paired over a long one.
• Hallways and entries, where a compact cone suits a narrow space.
• Home offices and studies, hung over a desk.
