Onion - Brown Pendant ∅ 38 cm

The Onion pendant has a curved metal frame formed into a rounded cage, creating a distinctive silhouette without using a solid shade. Its brown varnished finish has a metallic effect that adds depth and texture while retaining a warm, understated appearance.

The exposed lampholder sits at the centre of the cage, making the chosen bulb a visible part of the overall design. A fabric-covered suspension cable complements the decorative frame and gives the pendant a more considered finish. The combination works particularly well in industrial, rustic, vintage-inspired and contemporary interiors with warm natural tones.

This pendant uses one E27 bulb, which is not included. The open cage does not contain a diffuser, so light can travel directly through and around the frame. The final brightness, colour temperature and beam pattern will depend on the bulb selected.

LED bulbs are suitable and provide an energy-efficient option for everyday use. A clear decorative bulb can emphasise the open-frame design, while an opal bulb can produce a softer visual effect. No specific bulb shape is required by the available technical information.

The fitting is compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulb and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly. Its adjustable suspension allows the overall drop to be set between approximately 62.5 cm and 237.5 cm during installation.
