Overview

VENICE is a pendant lamp that fits well in dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms where a light source with its own character is desired. It is not just another catalog lamp: the shade is made of ceramic handcrafted in a workshop in Barcelona, giving it a texture and presence that mass-produced pieces do not have. The design is by Adolfo Abejón, and the result is a piece that does not rely on trends to remain relevant.

This version comes with a multiple canopy of 7 lights, which allows large surfaces to be covered with a single installation. It is a good option for dining room ceilings or for spaces where distributed light is needed without installing several independent points. Installation is straightforward and does not require any special technical knowledge.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Their products are aimed at those who want a lamp that works well and also has something to say visually.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, make sure the ceiling point is prepared to support the weight of the assembly. Turn off the power from the electrical panel before starting any work. If the ceiling height is low, adjust the suspension cable to the length you need so that the lamp hangs at a comfortable height. If you have any doubts about the electrical installation, the most sensible thing is to call an electrician.

To clean the ceramic shade, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products or liquids that could damage the finish. The black steel body can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Do not install the lamp in a bathroom or in areas with high humidity if the model does not have adequate IP protection for that environment.

Design and use

The VENICE lamp starts from a simple idea: that a pendant luminaire can be functional and have personality at the same time. The handmade ceramic shade crafted in Barcelona is not a minor detail. Each piece goes through the artisanal process of a workshop, which means there are subtle variations between units, inherent to manual manufacturing. It is not a defect; it is part of what makes this lamp different from those produced industrially.

The main finish is Glossy Pink, with a black steel body. It is a combination that works well in modern interiors, but also in spaces with wooden elements or with a more Nordic approach. The ceramic does not have the coldness of glass nor the lightness of crystal; it has visual weight and warmth at the same time. In a living room with light-colored furniture, the contrast of the pink with the black steel can be the detail that gives character to the whole.

This oval version of VENICE incorporates a multiple canopy of 7 lights, designed for installations where more space needs to be covered from a single ceiling point. It is a common solution in elongated dining rooms or open-plan kitchens where the space requires more than one light source. Instead of installing several independent lamps, this assembly groups all the lights into a single hanging structure, simplifying both the installation and the visual result.

The lamp accepts E27 LED bulbs of up to 15W. The compatible voltage ranges from 100V to 240V, so it works on electrical networks in different countries without adapters. The light source is not included, so you will need to purchase the bulbs separately. When choosing an LED bulb, take into account the color temperature: warm tones (around 2700K) tend to work better in dining rooms and bedrooms, while cooler ones are more commonly used in kitchens or work areas.

The VENICE lamp is also available in other finishes: black, cobalt blue, white, and striped. This allows it to be adapted to very different interiors without changing the shape or essence of the design. If the living room already has a lot of color, the white version can blend in without competing with the other elements. If the space is more neutral, the cobalt blue or pink can be the focal point that was missing.

In a bedroom, a pendant lamp above the nightstand is a better alternative to a table lamp: it frees up space and visually organizes the environment. In a bathroom where the ceiling allows it, a luminaire of this type can add a distinctive touch if the right model is chosen. In the hallway, the 7-light assembly can distribute lighting more evenly than a single conventional ceiling point.

The total weight of the assembly is 1.67 kg. This is relevant information to ensure that the ceiling support can hold it without any problem before proceeding with installation.

Questions and answers

Does the 7-light version require a special ceiling point or will a standard one work?

Installation is carried out at a conventional ceiling point. Before mounting the lamp, check that the support can hold the total weight of the assembly, which is 1.67 kg. If you have any doubts about the ceiling's load capacity, consult an electrician or installer.

Can the ceramic shade show variations between units?

Yes. Since it is handmade in a workshop in Barcelona, each shade may have small differences in finish or texture. These variations are inherent to the artisanal process and are not considered defects.

Is this pendant lamp compatible with energy-saving bulbs or only with incandescent ones?

It is compatible with E27 LED bulbs of up to 15W. The bulbs are not included and must be purchased separately. The accepted voltage range is 100V to 240V.
