Obasey Natural Pendant

With a 20-inch diameter, this pendant is a versatile choice for medium-sized dining areas or as a focal point over a kitchen island. For the most balanced look, we recommend selecting a fixture that is approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the width of the table or island it hangs over. At nearly 20 inches in height, it provides a significant visual presence that works beautifully in rooms with standard or vaulted ceilings.

Yes, abaca is naturally more resistant to moisture and salt air than other common materials like jute or seagrass, making it an ideal choice for coastal living. While it is designed for indoor use, its inherent resistance to rot and swelling helps the fixture retain its "natural" and beige tones even in humid environments, provided the space is well-ventilated.

Yes, professional installation by a licensed electrician is recommended for this pendant. Because it is a hardwired fixture featuring delicate, handwoven abaca, an expert installation ensures that the mounting is secure and the height is adjusted perfectly to suit your room’s specific architecture and furniture layout.

This fixture is engineered to provide a "textural glow." While the primary light source is directed downward, the handwoven fringe and sculptural black crown allow light to filter through the fibers. This creates soft, organic shadows and dappled patterns on the walls, adding a layer of warmth and "island artistry" to coastal or modern interiors.

Abaca is a premium natural fiber prized for its exceptional tensile strength and durability; it was historically used in maritime ropes because of its resilience. In this pendant, the hand-harvested abaca provides a sustainable, organic texture that resists sagging, ensuring the sculptural silhouette and intricate black weave maintain their shape and sophistication for years to come.

To preserve the integrity of the handwoven fibers, our care recommendations suggest regular dusting with a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner using a brush attachment to reach into the weave. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as moisture can cause natural fibers to swell or lose their crisp, sculptural form.
