The Cusco PE50 is a 500mm pendant wrapped in natural-toned string over a softwhite diffuser, taking three E27 globes.

We are not publishing a height. Both sources give a fixtureheight of 1,500mm on top of a separate 2,000mm suspension three and a half metres, on a pendant the title calls 50cm andsmall. The figures do not reconcile. Tell us your ceiling and we will confirm thereal drop before you order.

String, and it is the whole character

The body is wound in natural-toned string over a white diffuser. Lit, the stringcatches light along every strand and the fitting glows as a warm textured mass ratherthan a smooth shade while the diffuser underneath keeps the globes hidden and the light on thetable soft. Woven and rattan pendants usually do one or the other; this does both.

Three globes, because the diffuser eats light

Three E27 holders at 25W each 75W total. String plus a diffuserabsorbs a good deal, so the count is doing real work. Buy all three from one batch; through a whitediffuser a colour mismatch shows as a patch.

Coastal and contemporary, deliberately

Natural fibre in a neutral tone is the language of relaxed coastal and contemporaryinteriors timber, linen, pale walls. Against that palette a metal or glass pendant isthe thing that stands out; this one settles in.

There is a batten fix version

Cusco runs as pendants and batten fixes, in two sizes. The batten fix matters: itmounts straight onto an existing batten holder with no rewiring, so you can carry thesame string texture into a hallway or a bedroom where there is no pendant point.

It does not change colour

Our record carries a colour-changing flag. It takes three ordinary screw globes andhas no colour control of any kind. Dimming is globe dependent fit dimmableglobes and it dims.

Why three globes?

String over a diffuser absorbs a good deal of light, so the count is doing real work. Three E27 at 25W each 75W total.

What does the string do?

Lit, it catches light along every strand so the fitting glows as a warm textured mass, while the diffuser underneath keeps the globes hidden and the light on the table soft. Most woven pendants do one or the other.
