Visual Comfort Cerne 26 Chandelier | Kelly Wearstler | 31W LED | Natural Brass

The Cerne 26 Chandelier by Kelly Wearstler for Visual Comfort Modern distills the designer's longtime fascination with pure form and material quality into a ceiling fixture of remarkable restraint. A clean 26-inch disc of Natural Brass with a two-sided acrylic lens produces light in both directions simultaneously — upward into the ceiling to fill the room with ambient reflected light, and downward onto the table or surface below. The design is jewelry-like in its finish quality and minimal in its silhouette: no lampshades, no arms, no decorative hardware — just a precisely made brass ring glowing on both faces.

The integrated 31W LED module operates at 2700K with a 90 CRI, producing 790 lumens of warm, high-fidelity light through the acrylic lens. Universal 120–277V input accommodates both residential and commercial voltage systems, and ELV/TRIAC/0-10V dimming compatibility ensures the fixture works with virtually any compatible dimmer system. The LED module is rated L70 over 50,000 hours. Included stems — four 12-inch and two 6-inch, all in Natural Brass — allow hanging height adjustment from 24.2 to 83.2 inches, and the fixture is slope-rated up to 22 degrees. At 19 pounds it requires a standard fixture-rated ceiling box.

Natural Brass is a living finish that develops a warm, deepening patina over years of use. The Cerne 26 is scaled for dining tables in the 36–48 inch range, bedroom ceilings, or compact foyers where the Cerne Large's 36-inch disc would feel proportionally overwhelming. It pairs naturally within the Cerne family — the semi-flush mounts for low-ceiling spaces, the pendants for clustered kitchen island installations, and the large chandelier for grander double-height volumes — all sharing the same Natural Brass finish and disc-form design language.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the Cerne 26 only available in Natural Brass?
A: Kelly Wearstler designed the Cerne chandelier family exclusively in Natural Brass, which is integral to the collection's material identity. The living brass finish — which develops a rich patina over time — is part of what makes the disc form read as a precious, jewelry-like object rather than a standard ceiling fixture.

Q: How does the two-sided light output affect room illumination?
A: The upward-facing lens reflects light off the ceiling to create diffuse ambient fill throughout the room. The downward-facing lens provides direct illumination on the surface below — a dining table, bedside, or console. The combined effect produces layered, even light without the harsh contrast of a single-direction fixture.

Q: Is the Cerne 26 available with other shade materials?
A: No — the two-sided acrylic lens is the only lens option and is integral to the design. The family is also available in the Cerne Large (36-inch) chandelier for larger spaces.
