A 5-light pendant from Minka Metropolitan's Taffinoe collection, finished in polished nickel with clear glass shades, designed for kitchen islands and dining rooms.
The Taffinoe pendant combines a sleek polished nickel frame with clear glass shades for a clean, transitional look. Its five lights provide ample illumination for task and ambient lighting, making it a versatile choice for modern and traditional interiors alike.
Best for
- Kitchen islands 6-8 ft long, centered above the counter for even task lighting
- Dining rooms with tables seating 4-6, hung 30-36 in above the tabletop
- Open-concept living areas where a statement pendant defines the dining zone
- Entryways or foyers with ceilings 8-10 ft, used as a focal point
Not ideal for
- Spaces with low ceilings under 8 ft - the pendant's 13 in height plus hanging chain may feel intrusive
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - rated for dry locations only
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs used (not included). With five standard 60W incandescent-equivalent bulbs (or LED equivalents), expect 3000-4000 lumens total - enough to serve as a primary light source for a medium-sized kitchen or dining room.
Light color and feel
Use bulbs with a color temperature of 2700K-3000K for a warm, inviting glow that complements the polished nickel finish. Clear glass shades produce a crisp, unobstructed light with minimal diffusion.
Sizing and fit
The pendant measures 25 in wide, 25 in deep, and 13 in high. It hangs from a chain (length not specified; typically adjustable up to 6-8 ft). Ideal for rooms with ceilings 8 ft or higher.
