Aydin 35Cm Pendant Light Large

The Aydin PE35 is a 350 mm perforated metal dome pendant in antique brass, hung from a chain — one E27 globe to 25 W, not supplied — on a 2,000 mm suspension.

The perforations are the product

The dome is intricately cut through with a repeating pattern, and what that does is the reason to buy it: light escapes through the holes as well as out of the bottom, so the fitting throws its own pattern onto the ceiling and the walls around it.

The effect only works if the light source is a point. That makes the globe choice matter more than usual, and it is not supplied:

• A compact clear or lightly frosted globe gives sharp, well-defined shadows — the whole effect.
• A large opal globe fills the dome with diffuse light and the pattern goes soft and muddy.

Ask us and we will match a globe to the effect you want.

The chain is doing real work

Most pendants in this catalogue hang on a cord or a rod. The Aydin hangs on a chain, and that changes two things. It gives the fitting a vintage, industrial-utility character that a smooth cord cannot; and it is adjustable by the link rather than by cutting, so the drop can be set exactly and changed later.

350 mm across, 370 mm tall, 1.8 kg

The larger of two — roughly square in proportion, which suits a dome. At 350 mm it has enough presence to hang singly over a small table or an entry, where the 280 mm version is better in a run of two or three over a bench.

Antique brass, and a note on the material

Antique rather than polished — correct on a perforated dome, because a polished surface would bounce light back through its own holes and blur the pattern. The antique finish absorbs, so the cut-outs read as clean shapes.

Our record and the old page list the materials as “iron and wood”. The datasheet says iron alone, and the description mentions only perforated metal and a chain. We have published iron, and asked Telbix whether a timber element exists.

Where it works

• Over small tables and in entries — where the ceiling shows the pattern.
• Rooms with plain walls and ceilings, which the shadows need.
• Vintage, industrial and farmhouse interiors.
• ⚠ Use a compact clear globe — an opal one blurs the pattern.
• ⚠ Dimming is worth having; the pattern is the point at low level.
