{"product_id":"fontanaarte-flute-pendant-light-glass-cone-chrome-reflector","title":"FontanaArte Flûte Suspension Light, Clear Glass Cone with Chrome Reflector, E26","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FontanaArte Flûte suspension light is a slim glass-cone pendant for kitchen islands, dining tables, bedsides, bar counters and restaurant tables. A clear borosilicate glass cone, as fine as a champagne flute, holds a glossy chrome reflector on three slender rods; the reflector turns the bulb's light straight down into a focused pool, while the glass catches highlights and keeps the pendant almost weightless to the eye. It is a precise, dimmable task light that still reads as a piece of jewellery in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flûte 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 F333780150TCN1\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 kitchen islands, dining tables, bedside lighting, bar and café counters, restaurant tables, reception desks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e the maker drawing gives the Flûte cone as 7 to 12.2 in (18 to 31 cm) in diameter and 14.5 to 24.8 in (37 to 63 cm) high across the family; see the technical drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78.7 in (200 cm); ceiling canopy 5.1 in (13 cm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E26, 70W max (bulb not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight\/dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e direct, focused light; dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110V, hardwired with a chromed 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 borosilicate glass diffuser; glossy chromed aluminum reflector; chromed metal reflector support; transparent power cable; chromed thermoplastic ceiling rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent glass with Chrome\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 Franco Raggi (1999)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern, Contemporary, 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\u003eFlûte is built for direct light. The polished chrome reflector sits low inside the cone and bounces the bulb's output downward, so the light lands where you need it: on a worktop, a plate, a book or a bar top. Very little light escapes sideways, which keeps glare down for people seated nearby and makes a row of Flûte pendants feel calm rather than busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear borosilicate glass, the same heat-resistant glass used for lab and kitchen ware, does not diffuse the light but frames it, catching reflections along its edges. One E26 socket takes a bulb up to 70W; choose a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer to go from bright prep light to a low glow at dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a kitchen island or counter.\u003c\/strong\u003e As general guidance, hang the bottom of the cone about 30 to 36 in (76 to 91 cm) above the counter. Flûte is slender, so use it in rows: three over a 6 to 8 ft island, spaced about 24 to 30 in apart, or more along a long bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver a dining table.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the bottom of the cone about 28 to 34 in above the table. A cluster of three at slightly different heights works well over a round table; a straight row suits a long rectangular table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeside a bed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flûte makes an elegant bedside light that frees up the nightstand. Hang it so the bottom of the cone sits roughly 18 to 24 in above the nightstand and just to the side of the headboard, so the light falls on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn an entry or stairwell.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep at least 7 ft (213 cm) clear above the floor or nearest step; a group of Flûtes at staggered heights adds sparkle to a stair void.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flûte is hardwired to a ceiling junction box with a 5.1 in chromed ceiling rose and hangs from a transparent power cable. The maker drawing shows a 78.7 in (200 cm) suspension, set to height on site. A licensed electrician should install it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Kitchens, dining rooms and bedrooms are Flûte's natural territory: it gives strong, focused light without adding visual bulk, which matters in open-plan spaces where several fixtures share one view. It is equally good over a desk in a home office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHospitality and retail.\u003c\/strong\u003e Restaurants, wine bars, hotel rooms and cafés use Flûte in rows over counters and tables, where its clear glass reads elegant and its direct light flatters food and drink. In shops it highlights a cash desk or display table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyle and pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlûte is precise, light and glassy, a natural fit for Modern, Contemporary and Minimalist interiors. Clear glass and chrome sit well with white lacquer kitchens, stone counters, walnut panelling and black metal chairs; because the cone is transparent, it never blocks a view across a room or out of a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Flûte\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocused, dimmable downlight that is genuinely useful over a worktop or table.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear borosilicate glass and polished chrome: a pendant that barely interrupts the view.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlender enough to use in rows and clusters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA FontanaArte classic by architect Franco Raggi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off the power and let the bulb cool.
