Malakye Natural Pendant

Because this is a hardwired pendant suspended by a trio of rods rather than a simple cord, professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended. A professional ensures that the fixture is securely anchored to the ceiling's electrical box and that the drum hangs perfectly level, which is essential for maintaining its sophisticated, modern aesthetic.

This fixture is designed to bridge the gap between casual and refined styles. The wide, woven rattan shade provides the organic warmth and "effortless" vibe of coastal living, while the sleek brass finish on the metal rods and accents introduces a touch of modern luxury. This combination allows the pendant to feel at home in a breezy beach cottage or a more structured, transitional suburban home.

The woven rattan shade is designed to create a "soft, golden glow" and artisanal shadows, providing beautiful ambient light. For large spaces like kitchens or open-concept living rooms, we recommend a "layered lighting" approach. Pair this pendant with recessed lighting for task work or matching wall sconces to ensure your space has both the serene atmosphere this pendant provides and the practical brightness needed for everyday activities.

Yes, the 28-inch width of this oversized pendant makes it a perfect architectural focal point for a dining area. As a general rule of thumb for professional interior design, a light fixture should be approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the width of the table it sits above. At 28 inches in diameter, this drum pendant is ideally scaled for 4-to-6 person tables, where its round shape and wide shade will distribute a soft, even glow across the entire surface.

Natural rattan is an artisanal, organic material that adds beautiful texture but requires gentle maintenance. Based on our expertise with woven materials, we recommend dusting the shade regularly using a soft-bristle brush or a microfiber cloth to prevent dust from settling into the weave. For deeper cleaning, you may use a slightly damp cloth with very mild soap, but always avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can weaken the natural fibers over time.

This pendant is an excellent choice for coastal homes where humidity is a factor. The breathable, open-weave design of the rattan allows for natural air circulation, and the metal fixture's brass finish is more resilient than many other materials in seaside climates. While intended for interior use, its organic textures and durable metal construction are specifically chosen to echo and withstand the nuances of coastal life.
