Overview

The KOMBO lamp by FARO is a pendant luminaire designed for interior spaces where a balance between functionality and aesthetics is sought. Its cylindrical structure in matte black pairs with a beige metal shade, making it a versatile option for different home environments. It works well in a dining room as well as in a bedroom, and also fits effortlessly in a simply styled kitchen.

The design comes from Nutcreatives, the studio behind the KOMBO family, a series that works with clean geometric shapes and finishes that never go out of style. Each piece in this family maintains the same upper structure in black, allowing different sizes to be combined within the same space without losing visual coherence.

FARO is a brand with a long track record in indoor and outdoor lighting. Their products are aimed at those who seek quality materials and a design that integrates naturally into the home, without unnecessary artifice.

Installation and specifications

This pendant lamp is installed fixed to the ceiling via a single-light multiple canopy. Before beginning installation, make sure the electrical supply is switched off at the main panel. The ceiling point must be prepared to support the weight of the assembly. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially if there is no existing light point in the ceiling.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the metal shade with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may affect the finish. Do not touch the bulb directly with your hands when replacing it. Always use a light source compatible with the E27 socket that does not exceed the indicated 15 W.

Design and use

The KOMBO is a ceiling lamp that belongs to a family of luminaires designed with a clear criterion: simple geometry, solid materials and a colour palette that adapts to different interiors without imposing a particular style. This specific version features an oval shade in beige, made of metal, which hangs from a cylindrical structure in matte black. The contrast between the two tones is one of the elements that makes this piece work well in very different spaces.

The body is made of steel, which gives it a consistent physical presence without being visually heavy. The oval shape of the shade adds softness to a silhouette that is otherwise quite geometric. This combination of formal rigour and curved detail is what makes the lamp fit equally well in more modern interiors as in classic or even vintage-inspired settings.

In a living room, a single unit can work as the main light source if the space is not too large, or as supplementary lighting in a reading or sitting area. In a bedroom, the oval beige shade adds warmth to the atmosphere without overloading the décor. Placed above a bedside table or in the centre of the ceiling at a medium height, it creates a calm atmosphere that invites rest.

In the kitchen, this type of pendant lamp is a practical choice when you want to illuminate a specific area without resorting to general lighting. Its size of 40 cm in diameter makes it suitable for medium-sized kitchens, whether above an island or in front of a window. The matte black finish of the fitting stands up well to everyday use and does not visibly accumulate marks.

For the dining room, the lamp works especially well above a medium-sized rectangular or round table. The oval shade directs light downward, concentrating the illumination on the table surface and creating a more intimate atmosphere during meals. If the dining room ceiling is high, the cable allows the height to be adjusted so that the luminaire sits in the right position.

In a hallway or a bathroom with a high ceiling, this pendant lamp also has its place. In these spaces it functions as a decorative element that, at the same time, meets the need for focused light. Its weight of 1.67 kg is manageable and does not require complex mounting structures.

Compatibility with an E27 LED bulb makes it energy-efficient and easy to maintain over time. Although the bulb is not included, any standard LED with that socket and a power of up to 15 W is compatible. This allows you to choose between different colour temperatures depending on the atmosphere you want to achieve, from warmer light for the bedroom to more neutral light for the kitchen.

Nutcreatives' design for FARO aims for a quiet modernity, with no overly marked references to any particular style. It is not an industrial lamp, not Nordic in the strict sense, and not classic in the ornate sense. It is a piece that integrates easily alongside wooden furniture, neutral textiles or metal structures.

Questions and answers

Does the cable on this pendant lamp allow the suspension height from the ceiling to be adjusted?

The total height of the luminaire is 210 mm according to the manufacturer's specifications. For information on the cable adjustment range, we recommend contacting our team before placing your order.

Is the included multiple canopy compatible with standard built-in ceilings, or does it require some type of adapter?

The multiple canopy is designed to be fixed directly to the ceiling at a conventional light point. If your ceiling has any structural particularities, consult an electrician before installation.

Does the oval metal shade have any surface treatment to protect it against humidity?

The manufacturer's specifications do not indicate a specific treatment against humidity. For this reason, it is recommended not to install this lamp in areas with high humidity, unless the space has good ventilation.
