Description:
With this ceiling light, the designer wished to have a mass of cable falling to the ground
- although it is possible to adjust the length of the cable so as not to have any wires touching the ground.
Ceiling light with matt black aluminium exterior (matt white on the interior) & transparent glass shade. The light slides along a 7m long red textile cable. The handles in Epoxy black steel allow the ceiling light to be ‘clipped’ in place at the desired height. Supplied with 1 x E 27 20 W compact fluo bulb. The light shade measures 42cm x 16cm. Truly modern, contemporary designer lighting.
