A 1-light pendant from Besa Lighting's Rio collection, featuring a large fluted copper foil glass shade with a bronze finish, designed for spacious interiors.
Inspired by the Hibiscus flower, the Rio pendant showcases a large-scale fluted European glass shade with a copper foil interior that casts a warm, sparkling glow when illuminated. The textured metal foil is applied to the inner surface of glossy clear blown glass, with a polished cut ring between the metal and the clear bottom edge. The stem pendant includes an adjustable telescoping section, four connectable stem sections (3", 6", 12", 18"), and a low-profile flat monopoint canopy in a brushed bronze finish.
Best for
- Kitchen islands and dining areas, hung in a row or cluster for dramatic effect
- Entryways and two-story foyers, making a bold statement
- Living rooms and great rooms with high ceilings, providing ambient light
- Open-plan spaces where a large-scale fixture is needed
- Contemporary and modern interiors with warm metallic accents
Not ideal for
- Small rooms or tight spaces, as the 12.38-inch diameter may overwhelm
- Low ceilings (under 8 ft) if you need to hang it at a standard height, as the pendant may hang too low
- Outdoor areas exposed to rain, despite the damp rating, as it is not rated for wet locations
