The layered rattan design adds visual depth while subtly diffusing the light, creating a warm and patterned glow without blocking brightness.
What kind of ceiling hook or mount is needed for this type of pendant?
This style usually requires a standard ceiling junction box with a canopy plate; always check weight capacity and mounting requirements before installing.
Is this pendant light considered suitable for high-traffic commercial spaces like cafes?
Yes, this type of design is often used in cafes and lounges for its cozy aesthetic, but proper ceiling height and cleaning access should be considered.
Does it emit downward task lighting or general ambient lighting?
The open weave emits general ambient light in all directions but may not provide focused task lighting without a bright bulb or added fixtures.
Are there any chemicals or finishes applied to the rattan to preserve it?
Some pieces may be lightly varnished or treated with eco-friendly sealants to protect the weave, though many retain their raw, natural look.
How do I prevent the black rim from chipping or fading over time?
To preserve the color, avoid abrasive cleaners and simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth during routine maintenance.
