A 17-inch wide industrial LED pendant with a layered cardboard shade in beige and a satin nickel finish, ideal for modern kitchens and dining areas.
The Venus pendant from Besa Lighting brings an urban, gritty aesthetic to contemporary interiors. Its shade is composed of intricately cut layers of tan corrugated cardboard, each precisely sized and positioned to create a visually appealing, broadly radiused form. A white acrylic bottom shield conceals the lamping, while the cord pendant fixture includes a 10-foot SVT cordset and a low-profile flat monopoint canopy. The satin nickel finish adds a sleek, modern touch.
Best for

- Living rooms and open-plan spaces needing a sculptural accent light

- Areas with 8-foot or higher ceilings, using the 10-foot cord for adjustable hanging
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - this fixture is rated for dry locations only

How bright is it?
This pendant emits 800 lumens - roughly equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent bulb. It provides comfortable ambient light for a kitchen island or dining table, but may not be sufficient as the sole light source for a large room.

Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 17.75 inches wide and 7.5 inches high. The canopy is 5 inches square and 0.62 inches high. The 10-foot cord provides flexibility for hanging at your desired height. Ideal for kitchen islands or dining tables in rooms with standard or higher ceilings.
