Lending an uncommon lightness and dynamic form to wood veneer is the Nut Pendant Lamp (2002) by Ray Power. By applying a thin sheet of natural cherry veneer over a polyester film backing, Power has achieved a perfect knotted form that provides both direct and indirect lighting. When cast through the veneer, light takes on a warm quality and highlights the wood's beautiful graining. Compact enough to use in multiples, the Nut Pendant makes a graceful statement over a dining table or in a small entryway. Bulb (not included): Incandescent 60W/120V/E26/A19. Made in Spain.

Note: For extra light from your pendant you can use a compact fluorescent bulb up to a maximum of 15 watts.
