Who this is not for

• Showers and outdoor spaces: the Pahu 8 is damp rated for interior use only.
• Anyone who needs every shade identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly.
• Very high ceilings where a hanging fixture would light the room better.

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.
