Layered Metal Pendant | Louvered Glare-Free Shade in Soft Graded Hues

Stacked metal layers in soft graded colour

This pendant builds a shade from fine metal layers that screen the bulb and let an even, glare-free light spread out, finished in soft graded hues. The layered build is a clean, modern turn on the classic louvered shade, and the colour choices let it read quiet or distinctive. Two sizes and a set of graded finishes scale it to a counter, a table, or an island.

Why the layers matter

The stacked layers block any bright point from reaching the eye, which is the whole reason to choose a layered shade over a plain open one.

• Small, 11.8 in diameter, for a counter, bedside, or single drop
• Large, 19.7 in diameter, for a dining table or island
• It can hang lower over a table without glare

Good to know

The shade is multi-layer metal in classic white, graded blue, or graded green, with bulbs not included. The small stands 6.3 inches high and the large 13 inches, and both hang from 59 inches of wire trimmed on install. The blue and green shift gently across the layers as subtle colour, while white recedes for a neutral room. A warm 2700K bulb glows evenly through the layers, a dimmer settles it for the evening, and a licensed electrician should hardwire it.
