Nyta Tilt Large Pendant Light, Adjustable Aluminum Shade

An aluminum pendant you can aim: the shade tilts up to 125° and turns 360° to put light exactly where you need it.

Tilt is Nyta’s best-known design. The shade works like a cupped reflector: it pivots and turns along its oblong opening, gathering the light and directing it toward the table, wall or object you want to light. The solid aluminum shade has a matte finish. A fabric-covered cord, a 5.5″ canopy and a self-fastening hanging mechanism that holds the lamp neatly in position complete it. The shade is 11″ across, and it takes one E26 bulb up to 60 W.

Best for

Over a dining table, in a row above a kitchen island with each shade aimed a little differently, above a desk or reading chair, or angled toward artwork. The 11″ shade gives a generous pool of light. Compare with the Nyta Tilt Large Brass Pendant Light, Solid Brass Shade, or group several on the Nyta Multiple Canopy for 3 or 5 Tilt Pendant Lights.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a plug-in lamp: it is hardwired and should be installed by a licensed electrician.
• Bathrooms with showers, other wet areas and outdoor spaces: it is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms.
• Very small rooms that need a compact light: see the smaller Tilt Globe instead.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and we look for pieces that solve a real problem beautifully. Tilt does: one light you can re-aim whenever the room changes. Nyta is a German lighting company founded in 2012 by designer Fabian Maier and architects Johannes Marmon and Johannes Müller. Almost all of its products are designed in-house and made in Europe, and the awards Nyta lists include the Good Design Award (Chicago, 2015) and the German Design Award (2015).

Buy once: durability and care

Solid aluminum keeps its shape and finish for years. Switch off the power before cleaning. Dust with a soft, dry cloth, or wipe with a cloth dampened with water only and dry thoroughly.

Frequently asked questions

How far does the shade on the Nyta Tilt Large pendant tilt and turn?

Up to 125 degrees of tilt and a full 360-degree turn. The shade slides along its oblong opening, so you can send light straight down, to the side, or onto a wall or painting.

What bulb does the Nyta Tilt Large pendant use?

One E26 medium-base bulb up to 60 W, not included. It runs on 120V AC; we suggest a warm-white LED bulb for a soft glow.

How big is the Nyta Tilt Large pendant?

The shade is 11″ across and 9.6″ tall, the canopy is 5.5″ across, the fabric-covered cord is 120″ long, and it weighs 2.2 lb.

Can the Nyta Tilt Large pendant go in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms such as living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and offices; it isn’t made for showers, other wet areas or outdoor use.

Which rooms and styles suit the Nyta Tilt Large pendant? (our styling advice)

Its clean shape fits modern, Scandinavian, minimalist and industrial interiors. The larger shade suits dining rooms, kitchens and home offices, alone or in a row.

Can I hang several Tilt Large pendants from one canopy?

Yes. Nyta’s Multiple canopy holds three or five lights from the Tilt range on one ceiling plate; pendants are sold separately.
