The Ivalo PE45 is a 450mm woven pendant whose shade converts between a full sphereand a half sphere black or natural oneE27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on a2,000mm suspension.

The shade changes shape, and you can change it back. Our pagewas cut off before finishing the sentence, and there is nothing else like it in thiscatalogue: the woven shade can be styled as a full sphere oradjusted into a half sphere, and it is somethingyou do and undo whenever you want a different room not a choice made once atpurchase.

The two shapes are two different fittings

• Full sphere the weave surrounds the globe, so light escapesin every direction and the whole form glows, throwing a soft dappledpattern outward. Ambient.
• Half sphere an open dome, so most of the light goesstraight down: a defined pool below and a darker room around it, withthe globe partly visible.

Full sphere in a living room; half sphere over a table. The same fitting, in thesame position, does both.

450mm and it is not the dimmer size

450mm wide by 420mm high. Both Ivalos takethe same single E27 to 25W, so this one givesexactly as much light as the 600mm the shade simply grows.

That makes the 450mm the better-proportioned choice in mostrooms. It works singly over a small table, an island or an entry, and unlike the 600mm, which is a single centrepiece it issmall enough to hang in a pair or a run of three over a longer bench, which is alsohow you get more light, since a bigger shade will not give you any.

Black or natural a choice about light

On a woven, light-transmitting shade the colour changes what the fitting does:

• Natural far more light passes through, so in full sphere the shadeglows warmly and fills the room. Softer and brighter.
• Black much less passes through, so the output goesmostly downward even as a sphere, and the fitting stays adark sculptural form. More contrast, less ambient light.

In a run of three, that difference compounds: three natural spheres light a room;three black ones give three pools on a bench.

Dimming depends on the globe. Our record saysNo; the datasheet says globe dependent, and thedatasheet is right. Use a warm 2700K globe cool white through naturalfibre looks wrong and frosted or opal rather than a clear filament, because inhalf-sphere form the globe shows. In a run, ask us for a matched set.

No weight is recorded. Ask us before the fixings arechosen, particularly for a run.

Where it works

• Over small tables, islands and entries singly.
• In pairs or threes over a longer bench the way to get more light.
• Rooms you re-style the shape changes without changing the fitting.
• Same output as the 600mm the shade grows, the light does not.
• Ask us for the weight before the fixings are chosen.

Questions

Does the shade really change shape?

Yes full sphere or half sphere, and you can change it back whenever you like. Our page was cut off before finishing the sentence that said so, and there is nothing else like it in this catalogue.

Which shape should I use?

Full sphere in a living room, where the weave glows in every direction and lights the space. Half sphere over a table, where it becomes an open dome and puts a defined pool below. The same fitting in the same position does both.

Is the 600mm brighter than this?

No both take the same single E27 to 25W. The shade grows; the light does not. That makes the 450mm the better-proportioned choice in most rooms, and if you want more light the answer is more pendants.

Can I hang several?

Yes, and it is how you get more light. Unlike the 600mm, which is a single centrepiece, the 450 is small enough to hang in a pair or a run of three over a longer bench.

Black or natural?

Natural lets far more light through the weave, so in full sphere it glows warmly and fills the room. Black passes much less, so the output goes mostly downward even as a sphere and the fitting stays a dark sculptural form. In a run of three that difference compounds: three natural spheres light a room, three black ones give three pools on a bench.

What globe should I fit?

A warm 2700K E27, frosted or opal rather than a clear filament cool white through natural fibre looks wrong, and in half-sphere form the globe shows. In a run, ask us for a matched set.

How heavy is it?

Not recorded. Ask us before the fixings are chosen, particularly for a run.
