{"product_id":"fontanaarte-bianca-pendant-light-etched-white-blown-glass","title":"FontanaArte Bianca Suspension Light, Etched Mouth-Blown White Glass Pendant, 2 Sizes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FontanaArte Bianca suspension light is a mouth-blown white glass pendant for dining tables, kitchens, bedrooms, entries, cafés and hotel rooms. Its softly flattened globe is etched with rows of tiny grooves that FontanaArte likens to footprints in fresh snow, and an acid-satin finish turns the glass silky to the touch. Lit, the diffuser spreads a warm, enveloping glow in every direction with no glare, so the light flatters faces at the table as much as it lights the surface. It comes in two sizes: a Medium with dimmable integrated LED and a Large that takes a standard E26 bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bianca 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 F430685150BILU (Medium), F430690150BINU (Large)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired glass pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e dining tables, kitchen islands, bedrooms, entries and landings, cafés, restaurants and hotel rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiffuser size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium 11.8 in diameter x 7.4 in high (30 x 19 cm); Large 19.6 in diameter x 13.7 in high (50 x 35 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38.7 in (98 cm), per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium: integrated LED, 16W, 1650 lm, 2700 K, CRI above 80.

Because light leaves the globe in every direction, it lights the table and the people around it while also washing the ceiling and walls, which makes a room feel warm rather than spotlit. The etched texture catches the light in fine lines, so even switched off the glass has depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium runs on a built-in LED of 16W and about 1650 lumens at 2700 K, the warm tone of a classic incandescent bulb, with no bulb to buy or replace. The Large takes one E26 bulb up to 116W, so you can choose the brightness and colour temperature. FontanaArte lists both as dimmable; use a dimmer compatible with the LED driver or with your chosen bulb.\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 globe about 30 to 34 in (76 to 86 cm) above the surface. A single Large (19.6 in) suits a round table of about 36 to 48 in; for a longer table, hang two Large or a row of three Medium spaced about 24 to 30 in apart. Mixing a Large and a Medium at slightly different heights, as in the maker's photography, gives a relaxed, collected look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn a bedroom.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hang a Medium on each side of the bed in place of bedside lamps, with the bottom of the globe roughly 20 to 24 in above the nightstand, or a Large in the centre of the room as a soft overhead light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn an entry, landing or stairwell.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep at least 7 ft (213 cm) between the floor or nearest step and the bottom of the globe where people walk.

The white glass works with pale oak, linen, wool and plaster, and also stands out against strong colour: terracotta, deep green or ink blue walls make the glow look even warmer.
