Besa Stilo 16 Open Glass Cylinder Pendant, Cable Hung

The Stilo 16 cylinder on a fine stainless steel cable: a crisp, architectural line from a 5-inch dome canopy, made for tall rooms.

• ✓ Stainless steel cable
• ✓ 5" dome canopy
• ✓ Slim 4" x 16" cylinder
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ UL or ETL listed
• ✓ LED option, 800 lm

This is the cable-hung version of Besa Lighting’s Stilo 16, an open cylinder of handcrafted glass. The cylinder is the same as on the cord pendant, 4 inches across and 16 inches tall, but the weight is carried by a single 10-foot aircraft-quality stainless steel cable with a 10-foot AWM power cord alongside, under a 5-inch dome canopy in plated stamped steel. It installs to a standard 4-inch box and suits sloped ceilings.

Opal Matte is a soft white cased glass with a satin-etched clear outer layer and an even, tranquil glow; Carrera is clear glass rolled in alabaster-like white frit and blown, so the shade shows a quiet marbled pattern and a satin-etched surface. Order the LED version (a 9W replaceable, dimmable LED source is included: 800 lumens at 3000K, CRI 90+) or the incandescent version for a 100W A19 medium-base (E26) bulb of your choice. The photos show the Stilo 16 glass options; on this version the shade hangs from the stainless steel cable and dome canopy described above.

Best for

Tall and double-height rooms, lofts, commercial interiors, hospitality counters and anywhere a fine steel line looks cleaner than a cord. The Stilo 16 itself suits kitchen islands in rows of three to five, bar and café counters, stairwells and entries where a tall, narrow glass should repeat along a line.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a rigid, swing-free drop: the stem version holds the shade fixed.
• Anyone who prefers a flat canopy that sits tight to the ceiling: this version uses a 5" dome canopy.
• Anyone who needs every shade identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly.
• Outdoor porches and patios: it is rated for damp interior locations only.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the cable Stilo 16 gives architects and designers the tensioned-line look that suits modern, high-ceilinged spaces. 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 cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture) and dust the cable and canopy with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
