The Swinton is a round chandelier built around a metal arm structure wrapped in multiple tiers of wooden dowels. Six curved arms radiate from the central hub; around them, the dowels — cut from whitewash-finished wood — are arranged in concentric horizontal layers, the finished silhouette reading as a dense, spherical mass of warm natural material. When lit, the candelabra sources glow through the dowel layers, the stacked wood casting complex layered shadows into the space above and below.
Seven size configurations scale from a compact 6-head at ∅ 53 cm to a grand 18-head at ∅ 150 cm. The larger versions — up to 35 kg — require structural ceiling support confirmed before installation. Two finish options: White (whitewash wood, light and organic) and Black (dark-stained wood, more dramatic and architectural). The hanging chain is 30 cm on all configurations.

Finish — Choose at Checkout
Whitewash-finished wooden dowels — light, warm, and organic. The pale wood tones read as Scandi-natural or coastal. Suits light-neutral, contemporary, and relaxed interiors.
Dark-stained wooden dowels — more dramatic and graphic. The dark mass reads as bold and architectural. Suits contemporary, industrial, and dark-palette interiors.

⚠ Weight warning for large configurations (19 kg+).
• 19–25 kg versions: Confirm your ceiling junction box is rated for the fixture weight before ordering. Standard J-boxes are typically rated for 23–35 kg; verify with your electrician.
• 30–35 kg versions (∅ 120–150 cm): These configurations require a structural ceiling support rated for 35 kg+ — a standard junction box is not sufficient. A licensed electrician must install a fan-rated or structural ceiling brace before installation. Do not attempt to hang these versions without confirmed structural support.
Bulbs are not included. Each arm uses one E12 (US) or E14 (international) candelabra socket. Recommended: 2–4W LED E12/E14 flame-tip candelabra bulb at 2700K warm white. The warm amber tone complements both the White and Black wood finishes — the dowel layers diffuse and scatter the light, so individual bulb brightness matters less than color temperature.

FAQ
Match the diameter to your table or room width: the chandelier diameter should typically be 50–75% of the table width directly below it. For a standard 180 cm dining table, a ∅ 90–120 cm version is appropriate. For open-plan living areas and grand foyers, the ∅ 120–150 cm versions read as fully architectural installations. The head count affects the total light output as much as the size — the 18-head versions at the same diameter as a 12-head will be noticeably brighter. Check ceiling height: the taller configurations (H 100–125 cm) plus 30 cm chain requires a minimum 2.8–3 m ceiling for safe bottom clearance.
White (whitewash) reads as warm and organic — the pale wood tones have a natural, undyed quality that suits Scandi-minimalist, coastal, and light-neutral interiors. The fixture reads as a cloud of natural material overhead. Black (dark-stained) reads as bolder and more dramatic — the dark mass of dowels creates a strong visual statement and suits contemporary, industrial, and dark-palette interiors where a commanding overhead form is the intention.
Yes. The ∅ 120 cm (30 kg) and ∅ 150 cm (35 kg) configurations exceed the safe load capacity of a standard ceiling junction box. Before ordering either of these versions, have a licensed electrician assess your ceiling and install a fan-rated ceiling brace or structural mounting bar rated for 35 kg or more. In concrete ceilings, a direct anchor to the structural slab is required. Do not proceed with installation until structural support is confirmed. The 19 kg and 25 kg versions should also have their junction box load capacity verified before installation.
Yes, when fitted with dimmable E12/E14 LED candelabra bulbs and a compatible TRIAC wall dimmer switch (both sold separately). Specify “dimmable” when purchasing bulbs and confirm your dimmer is rated for the total LED wattage of all arms (multiply the single-bulb wattage by the head count). For 18-head versions, ensure the dimmer is rated for the combined load. Dimming the Swinton to 30–50% produces the most atmospheric result — at lower brightness, the warm light source glows through the dowel layers as a soft, diffused halo rather than a bright point-source cluster.
Care & delivery
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
