Volière — Design, Bulb Choice & Placement
Volière's open cage structure is its defining feature: the metal bars cast intricate shadow patterns across walls and ceilings that shift subtly as the light source changes. The Copper finish brings warmth and a vintage patina that pairs naturally with timber, leather, and terracotta; the Black finish reads as more industrial and contemporary, working well against exposed brick, concrete, or dark-painted walls. At Ø48 cm, Volière has a strong visual presence — it works best as a solo statement piece over a dining table, reading corner, or kitchen island rather than in multiples. For the bulb, a large-globe filament LED (E27, 4W–6W, 2200–2700K) will complement the cage aesthetic and produce the warm, amber-toned glow that suits this style best. A standard E27 LED will also work but will produce a more utilitarian result. The fitting is not dimmable by default, but if you install a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible leading-edge dimmer switch, dimming is possible.
Hang Volière so the base of the cage sits 70–80 cm above a dining table, or at roughly eye level (170–185 cm from the floor) in an open living space. The 38 cm height means it needs adequate ceiling clearance — allow at least 220 cm of ceiling height for comfortable proportions. Hardwired installation requires a qualified electrician.

Common Questions
Which bulb works best with Volière?
+
A large-globe filament LED (E27, 4–6W, 2200–2700K) gives the best result — the visible filament complements the cage aesthetic and produces a warm, amber-toned glow. A standard E27 LED bulb will also work but gives a more utilitarian look. Avoid high-wattage or very bright bulbs, which can overpower the decorative shadow effect.
Can I dim Volière?
+
The fitting itself is not dimmable, but if you install a dimmable E27 bulb and connect it to a compatible leading-edge dimmer switch, dimming is possible. Check that your dimmer is rated for LED loads before purchasing.
How high should Volière hang?
+
Over a dining table, hang the base of the cage 70–80 cm above the surface. In an open living space, aim for the base to sit at roughly eye level — 170–185 cm from the floor. Allow at least 220 cm of ceiling height for comfortable proportions given the 38 cm cage height.
Copper or Black — which finish should I choose?
+
Copper brings warmth and a vintage patina — it pairs naturally with timber, leather, terracotta, and warm-toned interiors. Black reads as more industrial and contemporary, working well against exposed brick, concrete, dark-painted walls, or in a monochrome scheme.
Does Volière require a hardwired connection?
+
Yes — Volière is a hardwired pendant with no plug. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician who will connect it to your mains supply and ensure correct ceiling fixings for the 2.79 kg weight.
