Know before you buy
The pendant comes with a 98-inch cord, which can be shortened during installation to suit your ceiling height. Once the fixture is hardwired, the cord length is fixed.
Yes, the Gräshoppa Pendant is compatible with dimmer switches, provided you use a dimmable E12 bulb. This allows you to control the light intensity to suit the mood of your room.
The shade is designed to provide focused, directional task lighting. It is ideal for hanging over kitchen islands, dining tables, or desks where you need concentrated light.
The Gräshoppa Pendant is designed for standard flat ceilings. If you have a sloped ceiling, you would need to consult with a professional electrician to determine if a compatible canopy adapter can be used.
The fixture uses a single 40W E12 bulb. We recommend using an LED equivalent to save energy while maintaining the intended light output.
The brass detail serves as a functional accent that connects the shade to the cord, reinforcing the minimalist aesthetic. It is a signature design element that adds a touch of warmth to the powder-coated steel finish.
