Elmo Pendant Light

The piece

Brass Ceramic Aluminum

Drawn from the silhouettes of English scullery lamps — once utilitarian, now reimagined for the heart of the modern home. The Elmo brings light down to human scale above the island or dining table, pairing a solid brass body with translucent ceramic or spun-aluminum shades. A fixture that feels collected over a lifetime, not purchased in an afternoon.

FAQ

Which shade should I choose? +

Ceramic gives a warm, diffused glow that softens the room — ideal over dining tables or islands where you want ambience. Aluminum is lighter and more directional, making it a better choice for task-focused areas like pantries or prep counters.

How many pendants do I need for my island? +

For islands under 6 ft, a single 2-head pendant works well. For 6–8 ft islands, three single pendants deliver the most balanced visual rhythm and shadow-free task lighting. For islands over 8 ft, consider the longest 2-head version or multiple fixtures in a row.

What's the ideal mounting height? +

Mount the bottom of the shade 30–36" above the island countertop for optimal task lighting without blocking sightlines. The suspension rod is adjustable — three segments (29.5" + 11.8" + 7.9") can be combined or shortened to fine-tune the drop.

What cabinetry hardware pairs best with Brass? +

Don't be afraid to pair Brass fixtures with Black or Nickel cabinetry hardware — this "collected" mix is a hallmark of premium English kitchen design and keeps the space from feeling overly matched.

Can it be installed on a sloped ceiling? +

Yes — the canopy accommodates standard sloped-ceiling installations. Please consult your installer for the correct mounting hardware for steeper angles.

Is it dimmable? +

Yes — dimmability depends on the bulb you choose. Pair dimmable LED bulbs with a compatible TRIAC dimmer switch for smooth, flicker-free control.

Will the brass finish vary between units? +

Yes, slightly. Each brass body is hand-finished, so minor tonal variation is expected — and is part of the material's natural character. The finish will also patina gently over time.

Care & delivery

Looking after it

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.

Who makes 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.

Delivery

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.

Returns

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.

Damaged or faulty on arrival

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.

Installation

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.
