Frequently Asked Questions
Where does a narrow pendant help?
Over a bar, a narrow island, a bedside or in a stairwell. Anywhere a wide drum would look bulky or block a sightline.
Is the weave open enough to see the bulb?
You see slivers of light rather than the bulb itself, which is the effect people want. Use a warm frosted bulb and it stays comfortable at eye level.
Can I hang several together?
Yes, and a row of three or four narrow pendants along a bar looks excellent. Vary the drops slightly for a looser look or match them for a formal one.
Does raffia change colour over time?
It warms very slightly with age, which suits it. Keep it out of direct sunlight and it stays close to how it arrived.
How do I clean woven raffia?
Vacuum on a low setting with a soft brush, following the weave. Keep it dry and that is the whole routine.
