Overview

VENICE is a pendant ceiling lamp designed by Adolfo Abejón for the brand FARO. Its oval silhouette and glossy black finish make it a piece that integrates effortlessly into modern spaces, while also adding character to more neutral interiors. It works well in the living room, dining room, or any room where a light source with visual presence is desired.

What sets this pendant lamp apart is the ceramic shade, handmade in a workshop in Barcelona. That artisanal process is evident in the result: no two pieces are exactly alike, and that gives it a value that mass-produced lamps do not have. The design fits directly into the lamp holder, which simplifies assembly and allows anyone to do it at home without specialist help.

FARO is a brand with years of experience in interior lighting. Their work combines contemporary design with selected materials, and the VENICE collection is a good example of that philosophy.

Installation and specifications

To install this ceiling lamp, it is recommended to have an electrical box already prepared in the ceiling. The cable can be adjusted in height before fixing it definitively, allowing it to be adapted to the desired distance above the table or floor. If you do not have experience with electrical installations, it is advisable to consult an electrician for the final connection.

The ceramic shade should be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish should not be used. The glossy black steel structure may accumulate fingerprints over time; a soft cloth is all that is needed to keep it in good condition.

Design and use

The VENICE lamp starts from a simple idea: that an everyday object like a pendant lamp can have as much design as functionality. The oval black ceramic shade concentrates light downward naturally, making it especially useful over tables, countertops, or reading areas.

The body is made of steel, which provides stability and durability. Ceramic, for its part, is a material that retains heat well and has a texture that plastic or glass cannot imitate. Together, the two materials create a piece that feels solid without appearing heavy visually.

The oval shape of the shade is not purely aesthetic. It allows light to be distributed in a balanced way within the space without creating harsh shadows. That makes it a good option for the dining room, where functional lighting is needed but atmosphere matters too. In the bedroom, installed above the bedside table or in the center of the ceiling, it creates a calm atmosphere without being too intense.

In the kitchen, a pendant lamp like VENICE can be used over the island or the bar, where a concentrated but visually clean light source is needed. It also fits well in the bathroom if the space allows, always respecting the electrical safety zones established by regulations.

The minimalist design of VENICE means it works well with different decoration styles. In a Nordic interior, the black contrasts with the light tones of walls and furniture. In a more industrial space, it naturally joins other metallic elements. In a room with touches of contemporary design, the handcrafted ceramic adds a detail that sets the whole apart.

The fact that the shade fits directly into the lamp holder is not a minor detail. It means there are no extra parts, no complicated tools, and no difficult steps to follow. The lamp arrives ready to assemble, and the process can be completed at home without the need to install additional cables or modify the existing installation.

VENICE is also available in white, pink, and striped finishes, allowing you to choose the version that best suits the tone of each space. The variety of colors extends its possibilities beyond black, although all versions share the same artisanal construction and the same care in materials.

The lamp accepts an E27 LED bulb with a maximum power of 15 W, not included. Current LED lights offer very efficient performance and a long lifespan, making long-term maintenance minimal. The lamp is compatible with voltages between 100 V and 240 V, making it suitable for use in different countries without additional adapters.
