Stivetto Pendant Lamp

The piece

Aluminum-Tone Iron · Clear Glass · Industrial Honesty

A pendant that shows its making — the Abeleisa pairs a raw, aluminum-toned iron frame with a clean clear-glass cylinder, leaving the welding seams visible as a deliberate craft choice. Every joint, every brushstroke of oxidation, every slight tonal variation is part of the design — the way real factory or workshop lighting was made before it was sanded smooth and powder-coated into anonymity.

About the Finish — Please Read

This is intentional industrial craftsmanship — not a flawless modern finish. The Abeleisa shows: visible copper-welding seams at structural joints, slight surface oxidation on the iron from the manufacturing process (creating darker, mottled patches), and subtle tonal variation from one piece to another. These are deliberate design choices that capture authentic industrial character — the look of real workshop or factory lighting, not a polished reproduction. Each pendant is slightly unique.

Installation

Hardwired ceiling installation — a licensed electrician is recommended.
All mounting hardware and a 39.4″ / 100 cm hanging chain are included. Chain length is adjustable on-site.
For best visual effect with the clear glass and visible bulb, hang at eye-level offset: 75–90 cm (30–36″) above kitchen islands or breakfast bars; 75–85 cm above dining tables.
Handle the glass cylinder carefully during installation — clear glass can show fingerprints; a soft cloth wipe after install brings back its clarity.

FAQ

Are the dark patches on the metal a defect or oxidation? +

They are intentional surface oxidation from the manufacturing process — the iron is not coated to a uniform smooth finish, allowing natural oxidation to settle into the surface. This creates the darker, mottled appearance that defines the Abeleisa's industrial character. It is not rust progression and will not continue to develop under normal indoor use; the surface is stable.

Why are the welding seams left visible? +

It's a deliberate design choice. Most modern lighting hides welds with grinding, sanding, and powder coating until the metalwork looks anonymous. The Abeleisa preserves the welds — copper-coloured at the joints — to honour how real industrial fixtures were built before mass production smoothed everything over. If you appreciate the honesty of visible construction, this is a feature; if you want hidden joints, this is the wrong product.

Will my piece look exactly like the photos? +

The shape, dimensions, and overall aesthetic will match. But the exact pattern of welding marks, oxidation distribution, and tonal nuance is unique to each piece. This is intentional. If you order multiple Stivetto pendants for a row, the slight variation is what makes them feel like a "found" set rather than a manufactured set.

Is the glass clear or frosted? +

The glass is fully clear and transparent — the bulb is completely visible through it. Because of this, your bulb choice has a major visual effect on the overall look.

Which bulb do you recommend? +

A warm white (2700K) Edison-style filament LED bulb in E26 or E27 base, at 4–6W. The visible filament inside the clear glass is the heart of this product's vintage industrial look. Avoid frosted bulbs (they fight the clear-glass design) and avoid cool-white or daylight bulbs (they clash with the warm aged-metal tone).

Is it dimmable? +

Yes — paired with a dimmable Edison-filament LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), the Abeleisa dims smoothly. Dimmed warm filament light through clear glass is particularly atmospheric — many owners install on a dimmer specifically for this effect.

How do I clean the glass and metal? +

Switch off the wall power and let the bulb cool. Wipe the clear glass with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner for the clearest finish. For the metal frame: use only a soft dry cloth — avoid abrasive cleaners, polish, or wet wiping, which can disturb the intentional oxidation and brushwork.

Will the oxidation get worse over time? +

No. The surface is stable under normal indoor conditions — the existing oxidation pattern is sealed in place during manufacturing. It will not progress or "rust through". Avoid exposing the fixture to humidity (e.g. bathrooms, outdoor exposure) or direct moisture, which could affect long-term stability.

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.
