Besa Nini Wood Cap Opal Glass Pendant, Cord Hung

The Nini wood-capped opal glass cylinder on a soft, finish-matched cord: the simplest, most flexible way to hang it, trimmed to the exact drop you need.

• ✓ 10 ft cord included
• ✓ Flat canopy
• ✓ 3.75" x 12.25" opal glass with ash cap
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ UL or ETL listed
• ✓ LED, 850 lm

This is the cord-hung Besa Lighting Nini, a slim cylinder of triple-layer opal glass with a turned ash cap. The shade measures 3.75 inches across and 12.25 inches tall, and it hangs on a 10-foot SVT-type cord whose jacket coordinates with the finish, under a flat canopy with a 5-inch decorative sleeve at the socket holder. You trim the cord to the drop you want at installation, and the canopy installs to a standard 4-inch box and suits sloped ceilings.

Nini pairs a conical cap turned from ash and clear coated, in a Medium or Natural wood tone, with a triple-layer opal glass cylinder that diffuses the light into an even, calm glow. Order the LED version (it includes its own 9W replaceable LED source: 850 lumens, 3000K, CRI 90+, rated 25,000 hours, dimmable) or the incandescent version for a 40W medium-base lamp of your choice. The photos show the Nini options in Satin Nickel; the other finishes share the same shade.

Best for

Kitchens, dining rooms, bedsides, entries and stairwells where a flexible cord should set each pendant at its own height. The Nini itself suits kitchen islands and breakfast bars in rows of two or three, bedside drops, entries and dining nooks where a slim pendant should bring a little warm wood into a modern room.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a rigid, perfectly vertical drop: Besa’s stem versions hold a shade fixed.
• Anyone who wants to change the height later without recutting: the flat-canopy cord is trimmed once at installation.
• Outdoor porches and patios: it is rated for damp interior locations only.
• Anyone who needs every shade identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the cord Nini is the most flexible way to hang it: the drop is trimmed on site, so every pendant in a run can be set to its exact height. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the glass cool, wipe it with a soft dry or barely damp cloth (spray the cloth, never the fixture) and dust the cord and canopy with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
