Three E26 lamps inside the dome throw broad, dimmable light downward over a large table or seating area, while the smooth outer shell, in matte black or white, gives the room a strong graphic shape overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Avico 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 F556180375NENU (Small, Black), F556180350BINU (Small, White), F556185375NENU (Medium, Black), F556185350BINU (Medium, White)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired extra-large dome pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e hotel lobbies, restaurants, atriums, showrooms, conference rooms, double-height living and dining rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small 47.2 in (120 cm); Medium 62.9 in (160 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDome height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small 23.2 in (59 cm); Medium 31.1 in (79 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x E26.

Three E26 sockets sit high inside the dome, and the curved inner surface gathers their light and sends it down in a wide, even pool. That makes it a true working light for a long table, a reception desk or a lounge group, not only a decorative object. The outer shell stays dark on the Black version, so the light appears to fall from a floating disc; on the White version the rim glows softly and the dome reads lighter against a pale ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith up to 300W (Small) or 450W (Medium) of total lamp capacity, Avico can light a substantial area on its own. The maker lists it as dimmable: use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer so the same fixture can run bright for service or work and low for evening. FontanaArte also offers a separate bottom disc that covers the bulbs, along with silver and gold diffusers on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a dining or conference table.\u003c\/strong\u003e As general guidance, hang the rim of a large dome about 32 to 40 in (81 to 102 cm) above the table, a little higher than a small pendant so the wide shell does not block sight lines. The Small (47.2 in) suits a table of about 72 to 96 in; the Medium (62.9 in) suits a table of 96 in or more, or a round banquet table seating eight to ten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn a lobby, atrium or two-storey entry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep at least 7 ft (213 cm) between the floor and the rim where people walk, and more in grand spaces so the dome sits within the upper volume of the room. Centre it on the space or on the furniture group it serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn a stairwell.\u003c\/strong\u003e Avico suits wide, open stair halls rather than narrow wells: it needs space around the rim. Hang it in the open centre, with at least 7 ft of clearance above the nearest step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeiling height.\u003c\/strong\u003e Because the dome alone is 23.2 in or 31.1 in tall, plan on a ceiling of about 10 ft or more for the Small and 12 ft or more for the Medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Avico is hardwired to a ceiling junction box and finished with a canopy. The maker drawing shows a cable of 118.1 to 157.4 in (300 to 400 cm), shortened on site to the drop you want. Given its size, have a licensed electrician confirm the ceiling support before installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomes.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a loft, barn conversion or double-height living room, one Avico over the dining table gives the space a centre and a human-scale ceiling plane. It also works over a large kitchen table or in an open-plan studio where one fixture must light a wide area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial and hospitality.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is where Avico is most at home: hotel lobbies, restaurant dining rooms, bars, showrooms, conference rooms, reception halls and retail flagships. A row of domes gives rhythm to a long space and reads clearly through a glass facade, which makes it an effective signature light seen from the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyle and pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvico is pure form: a plain half-sphere with no ornament. In Black it brings a bold, architectural accent to white or concrete interiors; in White it disappears into pale ceilings and lets the light take over. Both suit Modern, Contemporary and Minimalist schemes. Pair it with long timber or stone tables, upholstered banquettes, glass and steel, and keep the rest of the ceiling clean so the dome remains the focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Avico\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA single fixture that lights and anchors a large space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo very large sizes, 47.2 in and 62.9 in across.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree standard E26 sockets, dimmable, easy to relamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack for contrast or White for a lighter look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn off the power and let the bulbs cool.
