What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly view Blueprint Lighting's Volare fixtures as transformative investment pieces, often calling them the 'jewelry of the room.' The core theme is exceptional quality, highlighted by flawless material finishes and sophisticated light diffusion, suggesting superior craftsmanship. Reviewers deeply appreciate the elegantly architectural and timeless design, confirming Volare's status as a lasting statement piece.

Know before you buy
The fixture requires three E26 base bulbs, with a maximum wattage of 60 watts per bulb. You can use standard incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs that fit this base.
The Volare is a hardwired pendant light. While it is designed for standard installations, we recommend consulting with a professional electrician to determine if your specific ceiling slope requires additional mounting hardware.
The Volare weighs 5.0 pounds. Because of its relatively light weight, it can typically be installed using a standard electrical junction box, but you should always ensure your junction box is rated to support the weight of the fixture.
The brass tassel features precision CNC fluting and is a high-quality metal component. Like all natural brass, it may develop a light patina over time, which adds to its historical, architectural character.
The Volare is UL Listed for safety, making it suitable for dry indoor locations. While it works beautifully in kitchens, it should not be installed in areas with high humidity or direct water exposure, such as directly over a shower.
To maintain the clarity of the pressed glass, gently wipe the shade with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the glass finish or the brass detailing.
