Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture features modular shades that can be oriented either up or down. This allows you to customize the light distribution to suit your specific room layout and ambiance needs.
No, the Molto 5-Arm is rated for indoor use only. It is best suited for dry living areas such as dining rooms, entryways, or bedrooms.
Yes, this piece requires a hardwired installation. We recommend consulting with a licensed electrician to ensure it is mounted securely and safely to your ceiling.
The spun-metal mesh shades provide a unique, diffused glow. Because the material is perforated, it creates a soft, textured light effect rather than a harsh, direct beam.
The enamel finish provides a smooth, matte-like appearance that contrasts beautifully with the metallic Brushed Brass arms. The Seaweed and Crema tones offer a sophisticated, earthy palette that leans into the fixture's Italian modern inspiration.
