Overview

VENICE is a pendant lamp designed for those who look for something that lasts beyond trends. Designed by Adolfo Abejón for the brand FARO, it combines a handcrafted finish with a shape that fits different types of interiors without requiring much attention. The oval ceramic shade is handmade in a workshop in Barcelona, giving it a distinctive character that cannot be found in mass-produced pieces.

This ceiling lamp works well in a dining room, a bedroom, or a living room where a more intimate and gathered light is desired. The version presented here includes a multiple canopy of five lights, designed for spaces where more visual presence is needed without sacrificing warmth.

FARO is a Spanish company with a long track record in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its products combine functional design with carefully selected materials, and VENICE is a good example of that way of working.

Installation and specifications

For installation, an existing ceiling light point with wiring suitable for suspension luminaires is required. Since this is a multiple canopy with five lights, it is advisable to verify that the junction box and wiring can support the correct connection. Installation by a qualified electrician is recommended. The steel body in a black finish makes mounting easier, as the fastening elements are accessible and the weight of 1.67 kg does not require special anchoring beyond the standard for pendant lamps.

For maintenance, the oval ceramic shade should be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth, without abrasive products or solvents. The steel body can be cleaned in the same way. The electrical parts must not be wetted, and the lamp should not be installed in areas with high humidity, such as the bathroom, unless it is expressly stated that it has adequate IP protection for that use. Before handling the lamp or changing a bulb, always disconnect the power supply.

Design and use

The VENICE lamp has an oval shape that sets it apart from more common pendants. The shade, made of ceramic with a gloss pink finish, is not a standard piece: it is handmade in Barcelona, which means each unit has small particularities inherent to handcrafted work. This gives it a more authentic appearance than an industrially produced lamp.

The multiple canopy version groups five light points on the ceiling from a single anchor point. This allows light to be distributed more evenly across larger spaces without the need to install several independent circuits. The overall design maintains a clean visual line thanks to the black steel body, which contrasts with the oval pinkish shade without creating an aesthetic clash.

In a dining room, this pendant lamp works especially well above a long table, where the five light points cover the entire surface without leaving dark areas at the ends. The light projected by a ceramic shade has a soft diffusion that creates a warm atmosphere without being excessively dim. In a living room, it adds character without overpowering the rest of the decorative elements.

It is also an option worth considering for a kitchen with good ceiling height, where a pendant lamp with multiple light points can replace a conventional ceiling fixture with better visual results. In a room or bedroom, the effect of light on the pink ceramic creates a more intimate atmosphere, especially when combined with a warm-temperature LED bulb.

The VENICE range is available in several finishes: black, cobalt blue, white, and striped, in addition to this gloss pink version. This makes it possible to coordinate the lamp with different color schemes without needing to change the model. The oval design of the shade adapts to both more contemporary interiors and spaces with a more classic style or with wooden elements and natural materials.

The use of ceramic as the main material is not just an aesthetic decision. Ceramic is durable, does not fade over time, and maintains its appearance with minimal upkeep. Unlike glass or crystal shades, it better resists minor knocks and the passage of time without losing its finish. This makes VENICE a purchase designed to last, not to be replaced every few years.

Adolfo Abejón's design aims for a modern lamp without being showy. The oval shape is recognizable, but it does not take up all the visual prominence of the room. It fits in spaces where a balance between functionality and aesthetic presence is sought, without lighting becoming the sole element around which the décor revolves.

Questions and answers

Does the five-light version require special wiring in the ceiling?

Not necessarily special wiring, but a light point with the capacity to support the connection of five E27 lamp holders is needed. It is recommended to check the existing installation before mounting and, if in doubt, consult an electrician.

Is the oval ceramic shade only available in gloss pink?

No. This version of the multiple canopy features the gloss pink finish, but the VENICE lamp is also available in black, cobalt blue, white, and striped. Each finish corresponds to a different reference within the same collection.

Is the LED light source included with the purchase?

No. The lamp does not include bulbs. It accepts an E27 base with a maximum power of 15 W. It can be used with any LED bulb compatible with that base and with voltages between 100V and 240V.
