The white polyethylene shade turns one or three ordinary bulbs into a broad, even, dimmable glow, and the four sizes run from a 12.5 in pendant for a kitchen island to a 42.9 in shade that holds its own in a two-storey space. On the Large and XXL, a disc closes the bottom of the shade so you never look up into bare bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amax suspension light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e F544480350BINU (Small), F544485350BINU (Medium), F544490350BINU (Large), F544495350BINU (XXL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired pendant \/ suspension light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e dining rooms, kitchen islands, stairwells, double-height living rooms, restaurants, offices, galleries and lobbies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small 12.5 in (32 cm), Medium 18.5 in (47 cm), Large 32.2 in (82 cm), XXL 42.9 in (109 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small 11.4 in (29 cm), Medium 17.3 in (44 cm), Large 25.9 in (66 cm), XXL 34.6 in (88 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118.1 to 157.4 in (300 to 400 cm), per the maker drawing; shorten on site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e E26.

Light pours from the open bottom onto the table or floor below, while the shade itself lights up as a bright white cone that reads clearly across a large room. On the Large and XXL, the bottom disc covers the three bulbs, so the light stays soft even when you look up from a stair or a lower floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it uses standard E26 sockets, you choose the bulbs: warm white (2700 K) for homes and restaurants, a slightly cooler white for offices. The maker lists every size as dimmable; pair a dimmable bulb with a compatible wall dimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a dining table or island.\u003c\/strong\u003e As general guidance, hang the bottom of the shade about 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) above the surface. The Small (12.5 in) works in a pair or a row of three over a kitchen island. The Medium (18.5 in) suits a single pendant over a round or square table of about 36 to 48 in. The Large (32.2 in) needs a table of roughly 60 in or more and a ceiling of 9 ft or higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn an entry, stairwell or double-height room.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep at least 7 ft (213 cm) between the floor or nearest step and the bottom of the shade where people walk. The XXL (42.9 in across, 34.6 in tall) is scaled for two-storey entries, open stair halls and lofts, where its bottom disc keeps the bulbs out of sight from above and below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial spaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hung in rows at a consistent height, Amax gives an even field of light across restaurant floors, galleries, retail aisles and open-plan offices. Space larger sizes so the shades do not crowd each other; the gap between them should be at least half a shade diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Amax is hardwired to a ceiling junction box and finishes with a chromed ceiling rose. It hangs from a steel suspension cable with a red fabric power cable; the maker drawing shows a cable of 118.1 to 157.4 in (300 to 400 cm), which the installer shortens to the drop you want. Have a licensed electrician install it, and check that the ceiling can carry the larger sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomes.\u003c\/strong\u003e A Medium over a breakfast table, a trio of Smalls over an island, or a single XXL in a stair hall or loft living room: the same shape works at every scale, so you can repeat it through an open-plan home. The white shade brightens dark rooms and keeps a large pendant from feeling heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHospitality, retail and workplaces.\u003c\/strong\u003e Amax is at home in restaurants, cafés, hotel lobbies, showrooms, galleries, libraries and offices with high ceilings. The red cable adds a graphic line that suits branded interiors, and standard E26 bulbs keep maintenance simple for facility teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyle and pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmax is pure geometry: a white cone, a chrome rose and one red line. That makes it a natural fit for Modern, Contemporary and Minimalist schemes, and it adds a playful note to industrial lofts with concrete, steel and exposed timber. Pair it with white oak or black-stained tables, moulded or wire chairs, and white or pale grey walls; the red cable picks up red accents in art, textiles or tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Amax\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne classic shape in four sizes, from a kitchen-island pendant to a 42.9 in statement light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven, glare-free light from a translucent white shade, dimmable with standard E26 bulbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom disc on the Large and XXL hides the bulbs from below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA long cable, up to 157.4 in, for tall ceilings and stairwells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off the power and let the bulbs cool.
