Overview

The VENICE 200 lamp by FARO is a pendant luminaire designed for those looking for something with its own character. It is not just another ceiling lamp: its shade is made of ceramic, handcrafted in a workshop in Barcelona, which makes it a piece with a story behind it. Designed by Adolfo Abejón, it combines a timeless shape with a discreet yet recognizable presence.

It is a good option for the living room, dining room, or any space where you want to add a touch of warmth without overwhelming the atmosphere. The multiple canopy version allows three lights to be installed together, offering more possibilities when covering a large area or creating a visual composition above a table.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its products can be found in homes throughout Europe, and its catalogue combines design and functionality without compromising either.

Installation and specifications

To install this ceiling lamp, you need an electrical outlet on the ceiling enabled for pendant luminaires. It is recommended to verify that the ceiling support is adequate for the weight of the assembly, especially in the three-light version. If you do not have experience with electrical installations, the safest option is to hire an electrician. Before any handling, always disconnect the power supply.

The ceramic shade requires gentle care. To clean it, use a dry or slightly damp cloth, without abrasive products or solvents. The steel body in gloss black finish can be cleaned with a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity, as this lamp is not designed for damp areas such as the bathroom or outdoor spaces.

Design and use

The VENICE 200 is a pendant lamp that makes its presence felt in a space without imposing itself. The oval ceramic shade has a handcrafted finish that gives it a texture and presence unlike that of a mass-produced piece. Each unit is the result of a manual process in a workshop in Barcelona, which means there may be small variations between one piece and another: something that, far from being a defect, makes it unique.

The oval shape of the shade directs light downward in a concentrated manner, making it a particularly useful lamp over specific surfaces: a dining table, a kitchen island, or a reading nook. In the living room, a composition of three pendant lights at different heights can work very well as a central element without the need to add other spotlights. In the bedroom, a single unit above the bedside table or in the center of the ceiling creates a calm and orderly atmosphere.

The lamp body is made of steel with a gloss black finish, which provides a clean contrast with the ceramic shade. This combination of materials works well in interiors with Nordic design touches, in spaces with light wood, or in darker environments where coherence with other metallic elements is sought. The gloss black of the body also integrates well with modern kitchens or with dining rooms of a more contemporary style.

The three-light multiple canopy version allows several lamps to be installed from a single ceiling point. This is useful when you want to illuminate a long area, such as a rectangular table in the dining room, or when you want to create a visual effect with different heights. Each pendant lamp in the composition maintains its own identity, but together they form a coherent unit.

The oval shade is available in several colors: cobalt blue, pink, white, and striped. This allows it to be adapted to very different interiors without changing the structure of the luminaire. A white version can blend into a neutral environment, while cobalt blue or pink add a touch of color to a more austere room. The striped version, on the other hand, has a stronger character and pairs well with interiors that already feature other patterned elements.

For spaces where this lamp is combined with other light sources, it is worth noting that it accepts an E27 LED bulb with a maximum power of 15 W. A LED filament bulb can reinforce the handcrafted character of the piece, as the oval ceramic shade allows part of the light source to be visible. The voltage is universal, between 100 V and 240 V, so there are no restrictions based on the type of domestic electrical installation.

Questions and answers

Is the oval ceramic shade industrially manufactured or are there variations between units?

The oval shade is handcrafted in a workshop in Barcelona, so there may be small differences in texture or finish between one piece and another. This is part of its handcrafted character and is not considered a defect.

Is the 3-light multiple canopy included in this version or is it a separate accessory?

Yes, this version of the VENICE 200 corresponds specifically to the configuration with a three-light multiple canopy, so there is no need to purchase any additional accessory to install the three lamps from a single ceiling point.

Is the lamp suitable for installation in the bathroom or in humid spaces?

No. This pendant lamp is designed exclusively for use in dry indoor environments. It does not have protection against humidity, so it is not suitable for the bathroom or for areas where there may be frequent steam or condensation.
