Know before you buy
The milk glass shade acts as a diffuser, softening the light output to create a gentle, even glow. It is ideal for spaces where you want to avoid harsh glare, such as over a dining table or in a bathroom.
The Aster pendant features a rigid tube mount rather than a flexible cord or chain. Because of this, it is designed for flat ceilings and will not hang level on a sloped surface.
For a standard kitchen island, two or three pendants spaced evenly provide the best visual balance and light coverage. We recommend hanging them approximately 30 inches apart to ensure the light is distributed effectively across your workspace.
To maintain the dark pewter and brushed brass finishes, simply wipe the metal components with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the protective coating.
The Aster pendant is designed with a fixed-length slender tube. It is not height-adjustable, so you should measure your ceiling height and desired clearance above your surface before installation.
