Vallejo 60Cm Pendant Light

The Vallejo PE60 is a 600 mm woven raffia pendant in natural — one E27 globe to 25 W, not supplied, at only 155 mm deep and 3.7 kg.

Raffia — what it is, and what light does through it

The shade is woven raffia, a natural palm fibre — and our record did not mention it at all, on a fitting where the material is the product.

Woven fibre behaves differently from every other shade material in this catalogue:

• Light passes through the weave itself, not just out of the ends. So the shade glows all over, and the weave pattern is projected — you get a soft dappled texture on the ceiling and the surrounding walls that no glass or fabric shade produces.
• The light is warm before it starts. Raffia is a natural straw colour, so it tints everything passing through it a little golden — which is why a Vallejo reads as warm even with a neutral globe.
• Every shade is slightly different. It is a hand-woven natural material: the weave, the tone and the density vary, so yours will not be identical to the photograph. That is the point of it rather than a fault.

3.7 kilograms — heavier than it looks

That is worth stating plainly, because a woven shade reads as light and this one is not: 3.7 kg is more than the 2.3 kg Truvon and the 2.7 kg Lyric oyster.

⚠ On a 2,000 mm suspension the mount takes movement as well as dead weight. It is not a structural fixing, but it is past a bare ceiling rose — tell your electrician the figure.

The globe — and on a woven shade the choice matters more than usual

One E27 to 25 W, not supplied.

Bohemian coastal — and it belongs in a specific room

The Vallejo suits coastal, bohemian, Japandi and warm-minimal interiors — all built on natural materials in neutral tones, where texture does the work colour does elsewhere. It sits with timber, linen, rattan, jute and limewash.

⚠ In a hard contemporary room — gloss, chrome, dark stone — it will look out of place rather than a contrast.

The description suggests using it as a pair above a kitchen island, and that is good advice: at 600 mm two read better along a bench than one, and the shallow 155 mm depth keeps sightlines clear across an open-plan room.

Where it works

• Over dining tables — wide and shallow, so it stays out of sightlines.
• As a pair over a kitchen island.
• Coastal, bohemian, Japandi and warm-minimal rooms.
• ⚠ 3.7 kg — heavier than a woven shade looks. Tell your electrician.
• ⚠ Dust it dry, and keep it out of direct sun.
