Overview

VENICE is a pendant lamp from the collection designed by Adolfo Abejón for the brand FARO. It is installed on the ceiling and works well in spaces where a light source with its own character is desired. It is a good option for the living room, dining room, or any room where detail matters.

The shade is made of ceramic in a workshop in Barcelona. Each piece is worked by hand, giving it a texture and presence that mass-produced lamps do not have. The oval shape fits directly into the lamp holder without the need for special tools, and the installation can be done by anyone without prior experience.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a track record in interior and exterior lighting. In this collection, the goal is clear: to create comfortable spaces by combining well-chosen materials with craftsmanship. VENICE is part of that: a modern pendant lamp that does not need much to stand out.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, check that the ceiling wiring is in good condition and that the junction box can support the weight of the assembly. The fixture is attached to the ceiling via the included bracket. If you have doubts about the electrical installation, it is best to call an electrician. Always disconnect the power before starting any work on the ceiling.

To clean the ceramic shade, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. The black steel body can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not submerge any part of the lamp in water. Periodically check that the cable and connections are in good condition.

Design and use

The VENICE lamp starts from a simple idea: that a well-made object does not need unnecessary ornamentation. The ceramic shade has an oval shape that fits onto the lamp holder without forcing the fit. That detail, apparently minor, makes the installation clean and the final result look tidy from the very first moment.

The ceramic is worked in a workshop in Barcelona. That means each piece passes through hands that know the material, and that small variations between units are part of the process, not a defect. The gloss white surface reflects light softly, without creating annoying glare. It is a finish that works with LED light and does not lose its presence over time.

The body is made of steel with a black finish. The combination of black and white is timeless: it does not depend on specific trends and integrates well with furniture of different styles. It can look equally good in a living room with light furniture as in a kitchen with dark countertops. It is not a lamp that competes with the rest of the space, but rather completes it.

For the dining room, a pendant lamp above the table creates a defined light zone without needing to illuminate the entire room. VENICE works well in that position because its size is compact and its oval shape does not take up more visual space than necessary. In the bedroom, it can be used as the main light source or as a complement to other ceiling lights.

In the kitchen, a pendant over an island or a bar works well when the lamp is not too bulky. VENICE meets that condition. In the bathroom, if the installation conditions allow it, the ceramic finish withstands changes in temperature and ambient humidity well without visually deteriorating.

The lamp is compatible with an E27 LED bulb. It does not include a bulb, so you can choose the light tone that best suits the intended use. A warm LED creates a more intimate atmosphere; a neutral or cool one is more practical for workspaces or kitchens.

The VENICE collection is also available in black, pink, and striped finishes. If you have more than one room where you want to maintain visual coherence, it is possible to combine different finishes from the same collection without the result looking forced. The oval shape is what gives unity to the whole.

The cable has a total length that allows the hanging height to be adjusted according to the ceiling and the needs of the space. In low ceilings, it can be shortened so that the lamp sits at the appropriate height without being obstructive. In high ceilings, it can be left hanging with more length so that the light reaches the working plane better.

VENICE is not a multi-light lamp nor does it aim to illuminate large spaces. It is a specific light point, with a design that has its own character. For those looking for something that is not generic and that is made with attention to the material, this collection offers a clear answer.

Questions and answers

Does the oval ceramic shade come already attached to the cable or does it need to be assembled separately?

The ceramic shade is assembled simply by fitting it directly onto the lamp holder thanks to its design. It does not require tools or technical knowledge, and the oval design itself ensures a stable fit without the need for additional fixings.

Does the voltage of 100 V – 240 V mean I can use it outside of Spain?

Yes. The voltage range covers both standard European current and that of other countries. It is always advisable to verify the electrical conditions of the installation location before connecting any ceiling lamp.

Can the weight of 1.67 kg pose any problem for the ceiling junction box?

Most standard ceiling boxes are designed to support that weight without any problem. If you have doubts about the load-bearing capacity of the anchor point in your specific case, it is best to consult an electrician before proceeding with the installation.
