The Ivalo PE60 is a 600mm 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. This iswhat our page was cut off before finishing, and there is nothing else like it in thiscatalogue.

The woven shade can be styled as a full sphere a closed globe hanging overthe table or adjusted into a half sphere, an open dome. That is not amanufacturing option chosen at purchase: it is something you do, andundo, whenever you want a different room.

What each shape actually does with the light

The two are genuinely different fittings, not two looks:

• Full sphere the weave surrounds the globe, so light escapesin every direction through the woven surface. The whole 600mm formglows, throwing a soft dappled pattern outward and upward. Ambient:it lights the room and reads as a large luminous object.
• Half sphere the shade becomes an open dome, so most of thelight goes straight down. A defined pool on the table, a darker roomaround it, and the globe becomes partly visible from below.

Full sphere for a living room; half sphere over a dining table. Being able toswitch between them, in the same fitting, in the same position, is unusual enough to be the wholepurchase decision.

The larger Ivalo is not the brighter one. Both sizestake the same single E27 globe to 25W. The600mm gives no more light than the 450mm the shade simply grows.Choose the 600 for presence over a larger table, not for output; if you need morelight, use more pendants.

600 by 550mm a genuine statement

Roughly square in proportion, which is what a sphere needs, on a120mm canopy with 2,000mm of adjustable drop. At thissize it is a single centrepiece over a dining table or in an entry, not something tohang in a run.

No weight is recorded for a 600mm woven pendanton an iron frame. Ask us before the fixing is chosen.

Black or natural and it changes the light too

On a woven, light-transmitting shade the colour is not only decorative:

• Natural far more light passes through the weave, so infull sphere the shade glows warmly and fills the room. The softer,brighter choice.
• Black much less passes through, so even as a full sphere the output goesmostly downward and the fitting stays a dark sculptural form.Higher contrast, more drama, less ambient light.

Dimming depends on the globe. Our record saysNo; the datasheet says globe dependent, and thedatasheet is right. On a woven shade especially the natural, in full sphere dimming is very good: low, the whole form becomes a soft lantern. Use awarm 2700K globe; cool white through natural fibre looks wrong. And inhalf sphere the globe is partly visible, so choose afrosted or opal one rather than a clear filament.Ask us and we will match it.

Where it works

• Over dining tables, as a single centrepiece half sphere for the pool.
• Living rooms and entries full sphere, natural, for ambient glow.
• Rooms you re-style the shape changes without changing the fitting.
• No brighter than the 450mm the same single globe.
• Ask us for the weight before the fixing is chosen.

Questions

Does the shade really change shape?

Yes it can be styled as a full sphere or adjusted into a half sphere, and you can change it back whenever you like. There is nothing else like it in this catalogue, and our page was cut off before finishing the sentence that said so.

What is the difference between the two shapes?

They are genuinely different fittings. As a full sphere the weave surrounds the globe, so light escapes in every direction and the whole form glows ambient, and a large luminous object. As a half sphere it becomes an open dome, so most of the light goes straight down: a defined pool on the table with a darker room around it.

Which shape should I use?

Full sphere for a living room, half sphere over a dining table. The point is that you are not choosing once the same fitting in the same position does both.

Is the 600mm brighter than the 450mm?

No both take the same single E27 to 25W. The shade simply grows. Choose the 600mm for presence over a larger table; if you need more light, use more pendants.

Black or natural?

It changes the light, not just the look. Natural lets far more through the weave, so as a full sphere it glows warmly and fills the room the softer, brighter choice. Black passes much less, so even as a full sphere the output goes mostly downward and the fitting stays a dark sculptural form.

What globe should I fit?

A warm 2700K E27 cool white through natural fibre looks wrong. Frosted or opal rather than a clear filament, because in half sphere the globe becomes partly visible from below.

Can I dim it?

With the right globe. Our record says No; the datasheet says globe dependent, and that is right. On a woven shade especially the natural, in full sphere dimming is very good: low, the whole form becomes a soft lantern.
