Benson Pendant Light with Hand Finished Brass Shade
The Benson is a wide, shallow pendant with a gently flared brass shade that pushes light straight down onto the bench or table below. Its low profile keeps sight lines open across the kitchen, which makes it an easy pick for islands and open plan spaces.
Every shade is finished by hand, so no two are exactly alike. Choose from four MDA finishes: acid copper wash, aged gold leaf, charred, or weathered iron. Each has a textured, lived in character that warms up crisp modern kitchens and suits rustic or industrial schemes just as well.

Where to use it
Use two or three small Bensons in a row over an island, or a single large one over a round dining table. Over a kitchen island, allow roughly 750 to 900mm from benchtop to the base of the shade, and space multiple pendants about 600 to 800mm apart.
Globes
Takes 1 x E27 (not included), max 60w per globe. Because the shade is open underneath, a frosted or opal LED globe in 2700k to 3000k avoids glare when you look up.
