Hanging light placement is irreversible once the electrical box is in the ceiling. The fixture you choose needs to work with your ceiling height, your table or counter dimensions, and the scale of the room — before it needs to look good. The pieces here work across a range of spaces.
You’ll find large bastella-style hanging lamps in gold that work in high-ceiling dining rooms and entryways. Industrial pendant collections in multiple sizes and finishes — raw metal, bronzed, black — designed for kitchen islands, bars, and commercial installations. Repurposed milk-can hanging lamps where an old dairy vessel becomes a light source. Potato basket chandeliers where the basket is the shade.
Ceiling height determines minimum chain or cord length. Over a dining table, the bottom of the fixture should hang 30–36 inches above the table surface. Over a kitchen island, 60–66 inches from floor to fixture bottom is the working standard. Both can be adjusted with chain length.
All hanging fixtures are pre-wired to US code. Hardwired installation by a licensed electrician is required — none of these are plug-in.
