The Frya 40 is the larger of the two rattan pendants 400mmagainst the Frya 30’s 300mm. Same woven shade, same iron frame, one light. The number isthe diameter in centimetres, not a light count.

The extra 100mm changes what it is for

At 400mm the Frya becomes a fitting that can work alone over a tableor island, where the 30 really wants to be one of a group. If you are hanging a single pendant, this isthe size; if you are hanging three in a row, the 30 usually sits better.

Woven rattan casts a pattern

Light escapes between the weave, so the fitting throws a pattern onto the ceiling and surroundingwalls as well as lighting the surface below. A clear globe makes that pattern sharp; a frosted onesoftens it. If you want a clean pool of light and nothing on the ceiling, this is the wrong shade.

Three finishes

Natural is the pale, unstained rattan and the warmest. Brown is a mid tone that sits with timberjoinery. Black reads as silhouette rather than texture and is the most graphic.

Where it works

• Over a dining table or island as a single fitting.
• Bedrooms, hung low beside or above a bed.
• Entry halls, where the ceiling pattern is seen on arrival.
• Coastal, Hamptons and natural-material interiors.
