Cerne Large & Contemporary Chandelier Kwch190Nb Natural Brass by Visual Comfort & Co

The Cerne Large Chandelier by Kelly Wearstler for Visual Comfort Modern is a 36-inch disc chandelier that brings the Cerne family's flat-circle design philosophy to statement scale. Suspended from adjustable rigid stems, it hangs as a large, luminous brass ring in the room — visually different from a traditional multi-arm chandelier in that it reads as a single, unified geometric form rather than a branching structure. Its two-sided acrylic lens directs light both upward (warming the ceiling) and downward (illuminating the space below), producing the same balanced, shadow-free ambient light that defines the entire Cerne family, at a scale that works for a large dining room, double-height foyer, or living room centerpiece.

At 36 inches wide and 19.9 inches tall, the Cerne Large Chandelier requires at least a 9-foot ceiling — its 28.1-inch minimum hanging height, when added to the 19.9-inch fixture height, puts the bottom at approximately 48 inches above the floor at minimum. For dining table use, hang so the bottom of the fixture is 30–36 inches above the table surface. The 45W integrated LED produces 1,113 lumens at 2700K, 90 CRI — substantial output for an ambient chandelier. Universal 120V–277V, ELV/TRIAC/0-10V dimmable. Natural Brass only.

The Cerne Large Chandelier is for the project where every lighting decision is intentional. Its value is its singular, architectural presence: one form, one material, one idea. Pair with Cerne flush mounts in adjacent spaces for a cohesive, family-consistent lighting design across an entire floor plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What dining table size suits the Cerne Large Chandelier?
A: The chandelier should be at least 12 inches narrower than the table on each side. For the 36-inch Cerne, this means a dining table 60 inches (5 feet) or wider — a standard 72-inch table is ideal. Round tables should be at least 54 inches in diameter.

Q: Is 1,113 lumens enough for a large dining room?
A: For ambient dining illumination, yes — 1,113 lumens at 2700K creates a warm, flattering dining atmosphere. For rooms requiring brighter general illumination (large open-plan spaces, meeting rooms), supplement with recessed downlights or additional fixtures. The Cerne is designed for atmosphere-first applications rather than high-lux task environments.

Q: What ceiling height is the minimum for the Cerne Large Chandelier?
A: The minimum hanging height is 28.1 inches, meaning in a 9-foot (108-inch) ceiling the bottom of the fixture hangs at 108 - 28.1 = 79.9 inches — just under 7 feet. This is acceptable clearance in a dining room or living room where people don't typically walk beneath the fixture's center. For walking areas, a higher ceiling is preferred.
