Overview

VENICE is a pendant lamp designed for those looking for something that doesn't feel off the shelf. Designed by Adolfo Abejón and manufactured by FARO, it combines an oval silhouette with a handmade ceramic shade crafted in a Barcelona workshop. That artisanal origin shows: each piece has its own presence, understated but recognizable.

It is a lamp that works well in different areas of the home. Over a dining table, in a bedroom where overhead lighting is to be avoided, or in any corner where a pendant light can set the mood without feeling excessive. The multiple canopy version allows three lights to be installed at once, opening up possibilities for larger spaces or for arrangements with greater visual impact.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in interior lighting. Their products are often found in residential projects where detail matters, and VENICE is a good example of that line: a timeless design that does not depend on passing trends.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, make sure the ceiling electrical point is properly secured and prepared to support the weight of the assembly. This pendant light is anchored to the ceiling via the included canopy. If you are installing the three-light version, ensure that the existing wiring is compatible with the multiple configuration. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The ceramic shade does not require special products for cleaning. A soft, slightly damp cloth is all that is needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or sprays applied directly to the surface. The steel body can be cleaned in the same way. Do not use this lamp in environments with high humidity, such as a bathroom or enclosed kitchen, unless the space is well ventilated.

Design and use

The VENICE lamp starts from an oval shape that evokes traditional ceramics, but with a finish that fits well in modern interiors. The shade, handcrafted in Barcelona, has the kind of subtle irregularities that distinguish a piece made by people from one produced in series. It is not perfect in the industrial sense, and that is exactly what gives it character.

The body is steel with a black finish, which adds visual solidity without contributing unnecessary weight to the assembly. The combination of matte black with the ceramic creates a clean contrast, without harshness. It is a lamp that integrates effortlessly into spaces where other textured materials are already present: wood, stone, exposed plaster.

The version with a three-light multiple canopy allows for a suspended composition from the ceiling that works especially well over long tables, kitchen countertops, or in living rooms with high ceilings. Three oval lamps at different heights create an orderly visual rhythm, without the need for additional decorative elements.

In a dining room, this pendant lamp acts as a visual reference point. Hanging it at the right height above the table, without obstructing the line of sight between diners, is enough to transform the perception of the space. In a kitchen, the triple version can address both functional and decorative lighting at the same time.

For a bedroom, a single unit is sufficient. Installed as a replacement for a bedside lamp, it creates a tidier atmosphere and frees up surface space. The LED light with E27 base allows the color temperature to be chosen according to use: warmer for rest, more neutral if the space is also used for reading or working.

VENICE is available in several finishes: black, pink, white, and cobalt blue. This variety means it adapts to very different color palettes, from monochromatic interiors to spaces with more color. The black version is the most versatile for dark or neutral combinations. The pink and cobalt blue work better as a contrasting element in bright rooms.

The lamp does not include a bulb, allowing the user to choose the LED light source that best suits their needs. It accepts up to 15 W with an E27 base, a widely available standard. This flexibility, combined with the universal voltage of 100V to 240V, makes it suitable for installations in different countries without additional adapters.

It is also a good option for a well-proportioned hallway, where a pendant lamp can replace the usual flush mount and add more depth to the space. In that context, the oval shape of VENICE is discreet enough not to visually overwhelm a narrow corridor, yet has enough presence to ensure the result is not neutral.

Questions and answers

Does the multiple canopy version include all three ceramic shades or only the suspension system?

The three-light version includes the multiple canopy and all three oval ceramic shades. Each shade is handmade, so there may be small variations between them, inherent to the artisanal process.

Is the E27 LED bulb included with the lamp?

No, the light source is not included. The lamp accepts a bulb with an E27 base of up to 15 W. You can choose the LED bulb you prefer according to the color temperature you are looking for in that space.

Does the 100V–240V voltage mean I can use it without an adapter in any country?

Yes, the voltage range is universal. The lamp works with both 100 V and 240 V installations, so it does not require an adapter in most countries with standard electrical systems.
