The wood shallow drum pendant light keeps its shape simple so the material can carry the design. A low, wide drum turned from wood hangs on a slim cord, and the grain gives every piece a slightly different face. The soft, diffused light it throws downward is flattering over a table, and the natural tone bridges contemporary and rustic rooms without committing hard to either.

Because the drum is shallow at 7.9 in in diameter and 4.7 in deep (20 by 12 cm), it reads as a light touch rather than a heavy shade, which makes it easy to hang in a row of two or three over an island or a long dining table. It takes a standard E26 or E27 screw-base bulb, LED or Edison, so bulb choice is entirely yours; a warm filament lamp plays well with the wood.

The pendant ships with a 59 in (150 cm) cord that can be shortened at installation or extended on request for a higher ceiling. Hang it roughly 30 to 36 in above a dining surface so the light lands on the table rather than in a diner's eyes. Wiring is hardwired at AC 110-240V to a common wall switch, which is not included, and the fixture is intended for dry indoor locations only.
