Rattan Pendant Lights

A rattan pendant is a woven shade, so light leaves through the gaps in the weave and lands on the ceiling and walls as a soft pattern. The 25 pendant lights gathered on this page all have rattan in the name, with shades from 25 cm (10 in) up to a metre (39 in) across.

Picking the diameter

Twenty-two come in two or more diameters, and most of the sizes on offer sit between 35 and 60 cm (14 and 24 in). Over a dining table, size the shade at a half to two-thirds of the tabletop's width: on a 90 cm (35 in) wide table that means 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in). For a hall, the pendant size guide adds up the hall's length and width in feet and reads the total as inches, so a 3 by 3.7 m (10 by 12 ft) hall suits about 56 cm (22 in). Five come in a 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) size for a bedside, and three go up to 100 cm (39 in).

Weave, colour and fitting

Five come in black, and the Breezy White Elegance is woven in white. Only two come with a bulb and fifteen list an E26 or E27 fitting, so plan on a warm LED around 2700K, kept within the maximum wattage where the listing gives one (60 W at most). The Braided Shine is a shade on its own and needs a pendant cord set, and the Handmade Bamboo Rattan also comes as a wall light. More woven pieces are under boho lighting, and the wabi-sabi pendant lights share two of these designs.

FAQ

Are these all real rattan?

Not quite: 24 list rattan in their materials, some of them woven together with bamboo, hemp rope, grass or willow, and the other one lists grass vine.

What cord length comes with a rattan pendant?

Ten list a cord or drop length, either 120 or 150 cm (47 or 59 in). Leave 75 to 90 cm (30 to 36 in) between tabletop and shade when one hangs over a table.

Can a rattan pendant go in a bathroom or outdoors?

Keep it indoors and dry: nine say indoor use, four of them dry locations only, and none lists a damp or outdoor rating.
