A 12-inch cord pendant from Besa Lighting's Plato collection, featuring a playful double-glass design with opal and blue glass, ideal for kitchen islands and dining rooms.
The Plato pendant is a study in contrast: a soft white opal glass cylinder nestled inside a clear outer ring of blue-tinted glass. The satin-etched opal glows warmly, while the transparent blue glass sparkles with reflected light. Handcrafted by skilled artisans using century-old techniques, this contemporary fixture brings a touch of artistry to any space. The satin nickel finish on the brass and steel hardware complements the glass beautifully, and the 10-foot cord allows for flexible placement.
Best for
- Kitchen islands, hung in a row or as a single statement piece
- Dining rooms, providing warm ambient light over a table
- Breakfast nooks and casual eating areas
- Entryways and hallways with 8-foot or higher ceilings
- Coffee bars or serving counters needing accent lighting
Not ideal for
- Large rooms where a single fixture must provide primary illumination - this is an accent light
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 feet, as the pendant hangs down
- Outdoor or wet locations - rated for damp locations only
How bright is it?
This pendant uses a standard 60-watt bulb (not included) and provides light equivalent to a typical incandescent bulb. The exact lumen output depends on the bulb you choose. For a warm, ambient glow, choose a 60W equivalent LED bulb.
Light color and feel
The light color will depend on the bulb you install. For a warm, inviting feel, choose a bulb with a color temperature of 2700K-3000K. The opal glass diffuses light softly, creating a tranquil ambiance.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 12 inches in diameter and 12 inches in height, with a 10-foot cord for hanging. The low-profile canopy is 5 inches square. This size works well over kitchen islands, dining tables, and in entryways. Ensure at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the fixture.
