Overview

The KOMBO lamp by FARO is a suspension luminaire designed for those looking for a light point with character in the living room, dining room, or any space where the ceiling sets the tone. Its terracotta shade with a 40 cm diameter brings a warm, earthy tone that fits well with contemporary interiors as well as more classic or natural settings.

What sets this pendant lamp apart within the KOMBO family is the combination of two elements: a cylindrical black structure at the top and a metal shade with clean geometry. The result is a visually balanced piece, without excess, that does not compete with the rest of the space but rather completes it.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its products are present in residential and interior design projects throughout Europe, and the KOMBO family is a good example of its approach: functional design, careful finishes, and adaptability to different contexts.

Installation and specifications

This pendant lamp is fixed to the ceiling using a hook, which is included in the package. The version described here comes with a plug and 5 metres of cable, allowing it to be connected directly to a socket without the need for complex electrical installation. The 5-metre cable provides room to adjust the height according to the space. Before installing it, make sure the point on the ceiling where the hook will be placed is solid and can support the weight of the luminaire.

For cleaning, a dry or slightly damp cloth on the metal surface is sufficient. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the black finish or alter the terracotta colour of the shade. Do not handle the lamp or the bulb while the installation is connected to the power supply.

Design and use

The shade of this lamp is metal, oval in shape, with a 40 cm diameter that gives it a genuine presence in the space. It is not a lamp that goes unnoticed, but it does not impose either. The terracotta tone of the shade — that muted orange with earthy undertones — is one of those colours that work well at different times of day: in the morning it dialogues with natural light, and at night, with the lamp switched on, it creates a more intimate atmosphere.

The upper structure, cylindrical and in matte black, contrasts subtly with the warmth of the terracotta. It is a contrast that adds character without being striking. This type of combination fits well in a room with dark furniture, but also in lighter spaces where a point of visual contrast is desired.

The body of the luminaire is made of steel, which gives it solidity without adding excessive weight. At 1.67 kg, it is a manageable pendant lamp, easy to install without the need for special tools beyond the included hook. The 5 metres of cable allow it to be used in spaces with high ceilings or simply to adjust the drop according to the arrangement of the furniture.

In the dining room, an oval lamp of this size looks good centred above the table. The 40 cm diameter is sufficient to illuminate the working area without visually overwhelming the overall composition. In the kitchen, it can be used above an island or a preparation area, where direct light is useful and the metal design holds up well in the environment.

In the living room, a single unit of this lamp can work as a focal point above a reading area or a coffee table. If the space is larger, two units at the same height create a symmetrical composition that gives a sense of order. The bedroom is also a good context for this piece, especially in rooms where a warm tone is desired without resorting to indirect lighting.

A large-format bathroom or dressing room are spaces where this pendant lamp can play a more unexpected role. As long as humidity conditions allow and the installation is appropriate, a lamp of these characteristics offers a change of register compared to more common ceiling solutions.

The KOMBO family comes in different sizes and finishes, all with that black cylindrical structure that unites them visually. This allows different models to be combined within the same space when a more elaborate composition is desired. Compatibility between pieces of the same family is a useful resource when coherence without total uniformity is sought.

The bulb is not included. An E27 base bulb with a maximum power of 15 W in LED format is required. This type of bulb is easy to find and offers energy efficiency without compromising light quality. A warm LED (around 2700K) accentuates the terracotta tone of the shade and reinforces the atmosphere this design proposes.

Questions and answers

Is the 5-metre cable adjustable in height or does it have a fixed length?

The cable has a fixed length of 5 metres. It does not have an integrated adjustment mechanism, but it is possible to gather it manually and adjust the drop height according to the needs of the space before fixing the hook to the ceiling.

Is the 40 cm oval shade suitable for use above a standard dining table?

Yes. An oval shade with a 40 cm diameter is a common size for illuminating standard-sized dining tables. It is recommended to centre it above the table surface and place it at a height that does not obstruct the line of sight between diners.

Is this pendant lamp compatible with low-energy LED bulbs?

Yes, the luminaire accepts E27 LED bulbs of up to 15 W. This is the recommended option, as LED lights generate less heat and have greater durability than incandescent bulbs, which is especially relevant in a ceiling lamp used on a daily basis.
