Santa & Cole Globo Cesta Pendant Light

Buy it for a soft, glare-free globe light that drops into almost any room, from a bedside to a café counter.

We reach for Globo Cesta when a space needs gentle overhead light without a visible bulb. The Cestita, at Ø17 cm (6.8 in), is the right scale for bedsides, powder rooms and rows over a counter; the larger Cesta suits a breakfast table or an entry. In restaurants and hotel rooms the opal glass creates a warm, residential glow. It fits Scandinavian, Nordic, Mid-Century and Transitional interiors.

Where to use it

Suited over a kitchen island or breakfast table, beside a bed, in an entry, a café or a hotel room.

Planning notes

Install to a junction box using the included adaptor; the 3 m (118.1 in) cable allows a drop of up to 300 cm (118.1 in). Over an island, space two or three about 60 to 75 cm (24 to 30 in) apart and hang them around 75 to 90 cm (30 to 36 in) above the counter. A side entry adaptor is available when the box is off center.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs a non-Quick Ship version within days: those are made to order in Spain with a lead time of 4–6 weeks.

Care

Switch off and let it cool, then wipe porcelain or glass shades with a soft, dry cloth.
