Zanzibar Place Cream Pendant

As this is a hardwired pendant lighting fixture, professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended. This ensures that the mushroom-cream fabric cord is securely mounted and that the electrical connections meet local safety codes, particularly if you are replacing an existing chandelier or adding a new focal point to your room.

This pendant is crafted from hand-woven natural rattan, which means every piece is unique. Because it uses organic materials, you will notice subtle variations in the weave pattern and the cream finish. These natural inconsistencies are not defects; rather, they are the signature of an authentic, handcrafted item, ensuring that no two fixtures are identical.

Rattan is a hallmark of coastal design and brings a beautiful, organic texture to seaside interiors. While this material is naturally durable, it is best suited for climate-controlled indoor environments. In humid coastal regions, like Florida or the Gulf Coast, we recommend installing this fixture in well-ventilated rooms to maintain the integrity of the natural fibers and the mushroom-cream fabric cord over time.

With a 15-inch diameter and 19-inch height, this pendant is ideal for medium-sized spaces. For a kitchen island, we recommend spacing fixtures about 30 inches apart to ensure even light distribution without crowding. If hanging it over a dining table, the bottom of the shade should typically sit 30 to 36 inches above the surface. Its round, organic shape makes it a versatile choice for centering over circular breakfast nooks or as a pair over a transitional workspace.

To preserve the beauty of the natural weave, our care experts recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth or a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner. For deeper cleaning in kitchen areas where grease may settle, use a slightly damp cloth with very mild soap, ensuring the rattan is dried immediately. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can strip the natural finish and damage the delicate fibers.

The intricate, hand-woven rattan pattern acts as a natural diffuser. When lit, the single bulb casts a warm, textured glow that creates a soft, ambient atmosphere. This "patterned light" effect is particularly effective for adding depth and a cozy, organic feel to a bedroom or entryway, rather than the harsh, direct light often found in industrial fixtures.

Yes, the Zanzibar Place pendant features a flexible fabric-swathed cord rather than a rigid rod, which allows it to hang straight even on sloped or vaulted ceilings. This flexibility also makes it easier for a professional to adjust the hanging height to perfectly suit your room’s specific dimensions.
