Visual Comfort Baku 13 Chandelier | Sean Lavin | Sculptural Arch | Black or Brass

The Baku 13 Chandelier is Sean Lavin's smallest entry in the Baku sculpture series — a single thin arched form, 12.9 inches tall and just 1.3 inches wide, that functions simultaneously as a light source and a ceiling sculpture. The arch is precise and deliberate: neither a loop nor a semicircle, but something between the two — an organic curvature that reads as hand-drawn even in its machined precision. Finished in Nightshade Black or Hand Rubbed Antique Brass, it casts its 35W 2700K dedicated LED output downward in a focused, intimate pool that suits a bedside table, accent area, or small dining composition.

The Baku's defining characteristic is its system logic: each fixture ships with Visual Comfort's patented adjustable-height junction box, and the arches are designed to be installed individually or clustered in multiples to create custom-scaled configurations. Two Baku 13s side by side create a paired accent installation; combine 13s with 25s and 37s in an asymmetric grouping and the result is a ceiling sculpture that reads like a three-dimensional sketch. Each arch controls its own height independently, allowing varied drop depths in a single canopy grouping. Available in Nightshade Black and Hand Rubbed Antique Brass.

Why It Works in Your Space
The Baku 13 is the starting point for anyone building a custom Baku installation, and it works as a standalone fixture for rooms where a minimal, sculptural ceiling object is the goal without the scale of a full chandelier. Above a bedside table, a reading chair, or a small side table, the 13-inch arch provides a focused downlight in a form that is far more considered than a standard pendant. The Hand Rubbed Antique Brass develops a patina over time; the Nightshade Black holds clean against white, gray, and dark-toned ceilings alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I combine multiple Baku arches in one installation?
A: Yes — this is the Baku's design intent. Multiple arches of different sizes (13", 25", 37", 49", 61", 73") can be grouped from a single canopy area in custom configurations. Each arch has an independently adjustable height, allowing varied drops within a single grouping.

Q: How do I hang multiple Baku fixtures from one canopy?
A: Visual Comfort's patented adjustable-height junction box is included with each Baku. Multiple junction boxes can be installed within a shared ceiling area; consult your electrician for multi-circuit or single-circuit wiring options depending on your desired dimming configuration.

Q: Does the Hand Rubbed Antique Brass change over time?
A: Yes — Hand Rubbed Antique Brass is a living finish that deepens and patinas with age. This is inherent to the material and considered desirable.

Q: What is the right size Baku for my space?
A: The 13" is scaled for accent use — above a side table, reading area, or small dining surface. For a dining table centerpiece, consider the 25" or 37" as the primary fixture, or a multi-arch grouping starting with larger arches and filling in with 13s.
