Davi Creek Black Pendant

Yes, this fixture is an excellent choice for task-oriented spaces. Because it is designed with a solid metal cone shade, it provides focused, directional lighting that is reflected downward by the white interior. This concentrated light is ideal for illuminating specific surfaces, such as a kitchen island or a craft table, without creating the broad glare often associated with glass-shaded fixtures.

Based on our furniture and decor care expertise, we recommend dusting the metal shade regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild soap and water, followed immediately by a dry cloth to prevent water spotting. It is important to avoid harsh chemical sprays or abrasive sponges, as these can compromise the matte finish and the reflective white interior over time.

For a 6-foot island, a pair of these 14-inch diameter pendants is typically recommended to provide balanced coverage without overwhelming the space. If you prefer the "rule of odds" for a more rhythmic design, three pendants can be used, provided they are spaced roughly 30 inches apart. The clean, 14-inch scale of this fixture allows it to provide ample light while maintaining an airy, uncluttered feel.

This is a hardwired lighting fixture that must be integrated into your home’s electrical system. For safety and to ensure the light is securely anchored, we strongly recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician. Professional setup is particularly important if you are adjusting the cord length or installing the fixture on a non-standard ceiling to ensure it hangs perfectly level.

This pendant is a great solution for urban living. Its 14-inch diameter and 10-inch height make it a substantial design statement that doesn't feel bulky in compact spaces. In open-concept apartments, using a directional pendant like this one can help "zone" a small dining area, providing a sense of architectural separation from the living room. The matte black industrial aesthetic pairs effortlessly with modern, transitional, or minimalist decor.

For optimal lighting and visibility, the industry standard is to hang the pendant so the bottom of the metal shade sits approximately 30 to 36 inches above the counter or table surface. This height ensures effective directional lighting for activities like dining or food prep while keeping your line of sight clear. If your home has vaulted or exceptionally high ceilings, you may want to hang the fixture slightly higher to maintain proper visual proportion within the room.
