The Domus STRAP-PDT is a pendant conical shade held bya leather strap, 164mm, 1E27,240V, up to 1,500mm drop, in matt black ormatt white.

Its records agree which is how we found the ones that do not

This product’s datasheet says 25W LED Max and its record says25W. So does the table lamp. THAT CONSISTENCY IS WHAT MADE THE OTHER TWO STAND OUT: the floor lamp holdstwo sheets that disagree with each other (25W and 60W), and the wall bracket’s sheet says60W against a 25W record. Two of four members agreeing is what turns asingle odd figure into a checkable pattern. We publish 25W across the family.

164 mm a small pendant, and small pendants work in groups

• A 164mm shade is a modest object. Over a dining table or an island,one on its own tends to read as under-scaled.
• TWO OR THREE IN A LINE READ AS DELIBERATE. For an island, space themevenly across the working length rather than centring one; for a table, match the number to the table’slength rather than to the room.
• A USEFUL SPACING RULE: for 164mm shades, around 500 to 600mm betweencentres. Closer and they read as one cluttered object; further and the connectionbetween them is lost.
• THE 1,500mm DROP is the maximum cable, not the hanging height it is cut or looped to suit. Over a bench, hang the bottom of the shade around700 to 800mm above the benchtop; over a dining table, 750 to 900mm above thetabletop.

The conical shade is open at both ends which decides the lamp

YOU WILL SEE THE LAMP FROM A SEATED POSITION. A cone open top and bottomthrows light down onto the surface and a little up onto the ceiling, and leaves the sourcevisible.

• OVER A DINING TABLE THAT MATTERS MOST, because people sit for a long timelooking across at each other with the pendant in the field of view. An opal or frostedE27 is almost always right there.
• OVER AN ISLAND IT MATTERS LESS people stand, and the shade isabove the eyeline. A filament lamp can be a feature there.

The lamp is not included, so this is your decision. Tell us the position and we will suggestone.

Part of a family of four, and the pendant is the anchor

Pendant, table lamp, floor lamp and wall bracket share the conical shade and leatherstrap. THE PENDANT IS USUALLY THE PIECE THAT ESTABLISHES THE LOOK it is the most visible and the most fixed and the others echo it. A pendant over the dining table with the floor lamp beside a chair in the same room is the mostcommon and most effective pairing. Using all four in one space is usually toomuch.

Matt black or matt white

Both painted, so they hold their appearance. Black is the more assertivechoice and works where the pendant is meant to be seen as an object; white recedes and suits aroom that already has visual weight elsewhere. The leather strap is warm against timberand plaster and sits less comfortably against high-gloss or very minimal joinery. Over a dining table, a dark shade also stops the interior of the cone glaring at seatedeye level, which a white one can do.

What is published

Where it works

• Islands and dining tables in groups of two or three.
• With the matching floor lamp the most effective pairing.
• Against timber and plaster the strap suits them.
• Not singly over a long bench 164mm reads under-scaled.
• Not with a clear lamp over a table it is in the eyeline.

Specifying it

Pendant, conical shade with leather strap. 164mm. 1 E27, 25W maximum, lamp notincluded. Up to 1,500mm drop. 220240V. IP20. Matt black or matt white. 1-yearwarranty. ITS SHEET AND RECORD BOTH SAY 25 W, and so do the table lamp’s which is exactly what made theother two family members stand out: the floor lamp holds two sheets that disagree with each other, and thewall bracket’s sheet says 60 W against a 25 W record. Two of four agreeing is what turns a single oddfigure into a checkable pattern. AT 164 mm THIS IS A SMALL PENDANT AND SMALL PENDANTS WORK IN GROUPS two or three at 500 to 600 mm between centres read as deliberate where one reads asunder-scaled.

Questions

Is the wattage figure reliable here?

Yes the datasheet says 25W LED Max and the record says 25W, and the table lamp agrees on both. That consistency is what made the other two family members stand out: the floor lamp holds two sheets that disagree with each other, and the wall bracket’s sheet says 60W against a 25W record. Two of four agreeing is what turns a single odd figure into a checkable pattern.

Is one pendant enough over an island?

Usually not. At 164mm the shade is a modest object and one on its own tends to read as under-scaled. Two or three in a line read as deliberate space them evenly across the working length rather than centring one.

How far apart should they be?

Around 500 to 600mm between centres for shades this size. Closer and they read as one cluttered object; further and the connection between them is lost.

How high should I hang it?

Over a bench, the bottom of the shade around 700 to 800mm above the benchtop. Over a dining table, 750 to 900mm above the tabletop. The 1,500mm figure is the maximum cable supplied, not a hanging height it is cut or looped to suit.

Does the lamp choice matter?

Over a dining table, considerably. A cone open top and bottom leaves the source visible, and people sit for a long time looking across at each other with the pendant in the field of view so an opal or frosted E27 is almost always right there. Over an island it matters less, because people stand and the shade is above the eyeline; a filament lamp can be a feature there.

Should I use the whole family in one room?

Usually not all four. The pendant establishes the look it is the most visible and the most fixed and the others echo it. A pendant over the dining table with the floor lamp beside a chair in the same room is the most common and most effective pairing.

Black or white?

Black is the more assertive choice and works where the pendant is meant to be seen as an object; white recedes and suits a room that already has visual weight elsewhere. Over a dining table a dark shade also stops the interior of the cone glaring at seated eye level, which a white one can do.
