This is the Besa Lighting Geno, a stem-mounted pendant running on 120V. The Geno Pendant is a modern look composed of a transparent color elliptical shape glass, with a mystical vapor-like patterning throughout to partially conceal the inner portion of the shade. Besa lists it at 13" diameter x 10.25" H. Includes 4 connectable stem sections (3", 6", 12" and 18" lengths) plus telescoping piece for up to 3" adjustment, 10' max. Installs directly to a 4" octagonal or round ceiling box.

Choose Vapor Amber, Vapor Clear or Vapor Smoke glass. The hardware comes in Satin Nickel, Bronze or Black. Choose the incandescent version, which takes a 60W A19 medium-base lamp (not included); or the LED Filament version, which comes with an 8W LED Filament lamp, dimmable. The photos show the glass on the cord-hung version; this version uses the same glass with the stem hardware described below. Our photos show the Satin Nickel and Black finish; the Bronze version uses the same glass.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are made by hand by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then inspected at Besa's factory in Ohio before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the glass cool, wipe the glass with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture). Dust the metal parts with a dry cloth (our advice). Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
