Its soft, irregular form looks like a bubble caught mid-float, and the clear glass carries an iridescent finish that shimmers with faint rainbow tones, just like a soap bubble, which is where the name comes from. Lit, the bulb glows inside the glass and the surface throws warm reflections across nearby walls; unlit, it is a piece of glass sculpture. It comes in Medium and Large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolla 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 F354085100TRNU (Medium), F354090100TRNU (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 kitchen islands, dining tables, living rooms and lounges, bars, restaurants and hotel lobbies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium 12.9 in (33 cm); Large 20 in (51 cm), per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5 in (32 cm) as shown on the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59 in (150 cm), per the maker drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E26, 77W max (bulb not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight\/dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e diffused light, dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110V, hardwired with a chrome ceiling canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20, dry indoor locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e transparent mouth-blown glass with iridescent effect; steel suspension cables; blue fabric power cable; chrome thermoplastic ceiling rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium, Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Studio Harry-Paul (2003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contemporary, Modern, Minimalist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/ul-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"UL pending certification mark: UL listing for the US market is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e UL certification for the U.S. market is in progress for this pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolla's light is decorative first. The clear glass shows the bulb, while the iridescent coating breaks the glow into soft, shifting colour along the curves of the glass. Around the pendant, the coating throws warm reflections onto walls and ceilings, which is why Bolla looks so good in wood-panelled restaurants and dark, intimate rooms. Below, light falls freely onto a table or counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes one E26 bulb up to 77W. Because the bulb is visible, choose a decorative globe or filament LED bulb with a warm colour temperature. FontanaArte lists both sizes as dimmable; use a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a kitchen island.\u003c\/strong\u003e As general guidance, hang the bottom of the glass about 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) above the counter. Two Medium pendants (12.9 in) suit an island of about 6 ft; two or three Large (20 in) suit 8 ft or more, spaced about 30 to 36 in apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a dining table.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the bottom of the glass about 30 to 34 in above the tabletop.
