Know before you buy
The Gloria provides ambient illumination, meaning it is designed to create a soft, general glow rather than focused task lighting. Because of its striped metal structure, it also casts decorative shadow patterns on surrounding walls and surfaces.
No, the bulb is not included. You will need to purchase one E27 bulb with a maximum of 20W; both LED and CFL bulbs are compatible with this fixture.
The fixture requires assembly and hardwired installation. While it is straightforward for those comfortable with basic electrical work, we recommend hiring a professional electrician to ensure it is safely mounted to your ceiling.
The metal slats will naturally diffuse the light and block some of the direct output, which creates a moody, atmospheric effect. It is best suited for dining areas or entryways where you want to emphasize ambiance over high-intensity task lighting.
The Gloria measures 14.25 inches in diameter and 17.25 inches in height. It is a compact, sculptural piece that works well individually or grouped in pairs over a kitchen island or dining table.
