Overview

The FARO TATAWIN M is a pendant luminaire designed for spaces where light and form coexist without getting in each other's way. Its oval opal white glass shade filters light gently, without direct glare or harsh shadows. The result is diffused lighting that covers the space well without causing eye fatigue.

It is intended for indoor environments: it works well in the living room, dining room, or bedroom. Any corner where a compact pendant lamp can become the visual focal point of the room.

The oval shade's shape is no coincidence. Adolfo Abejón designed it inspired by the characteristic dwellings of Tataouine, a city in southeastern Tunisia. That architectural reference translates into a soft volume with balanced proportions that fit both modern interiors and spaces with more character.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its products combine careful design with materials built to last, and are present in residential and interior design projects throughout Europe.

Installation and specifications

Installing this pendant lamp requires an existing ceiling light point. The fixture attaches directly to the ceiling, so it is worth checking that the electrical box is properly anchored and capable of supporting the weight of the assembly. If you have any doubts about installation, it is advisable to seek the help of an electrician. The lamp does not include a bulb, so have an E27 LED bulb of up to 15 W on hand before mounting it.

To clean the glass shade, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the opal surface. The steel body with a satin black finish is cleaned in the same way: a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient to maintain its appearance. Always disconnect the lamp from the power supply before cleaning it or changing the bulb.

Design and use

The TATAWIN M is a compact pendant lamp, with a diameter of 250 mm and a shade height of 115 mm. These proportions make it manageable in spaces where a larger luminaire would be excessive. It does not take up too much visual field, but it does not go unnoticed either.

The oval shade is the defining element of this lamp. It is made from opal white glass, a material that acts as a natural diffuser: the light does not emerge in a concentrated beam, but is distributed evenly downward and to the sides. This prevents direct glare and creates a warmer, more balanced atmosphere. In spaces such as the living room or bedroom, that quality of light makes a real difference in how the ambiance is perceived.

The body is made of steel with a satin black finish. It is neither a glossy black nor fully matte, but an intermediate point that catches some light without reflecting it. That finish gives the lamp visual solidity and makes it compatible with neutral color palettes: white, grey, beige, or even darker tones if the space calls for it. In a room with light wood furniture, the satin black provides contrast without disrupting the overall look.

In the dining room, this luminaire works well above a medium-sized table. The oval shade projects light downward in a diffused manner, which is useful for illuminating the work surface without creating annoying shadows. If the ceiling is low, its reduced height of 115 mm helps avoid encroaching on the space.

In the kitchen it also has a place, especially over work areas or kitchen islands where a pendant lamp with character but without excessive volume is desired. The combination of glass and steel handles environments with some ambient humidity and temperature changes well.

For the bathroom, as long as it is installed in an area without direct contact with water, it can be an interesting option. Its modern design and white glass shade fit well with contemporary bathroom settings, where lighting details are playing an increasingly prominent role.

The reference to Tataouine is not merely an aesthetic nod. The architecture of that city in southern Tunisia has a very particular geometry, with forms that blend the organic and the constructed. That inspiration is evident in the oval shade: it has something of a dome, something of a natural form, that sets it apart from purely geometric lamps without making it extravagant. It is a modern lamp with a touch of originality that does not depend on passing trends.

Compatibility with E27 LED bulbs of up to 15 W allows you to choose the color temperature that best suits the space. A warm light will reinforce the cozy effect in the living room or bedroom. A neutral light will work better in the kitchen or work areas.

Questions and answers

Is the oval opal glass shade removable for changing the bulb?

Yes, the glass shade is accessible so the bulb can be replaced. Consult the assembly instructions included with the product to do so safely and without forcing the material.

Is the suspension cable adjustable in length?

Details about the length and adjustment of the cable are not specified in the technical sheet for this model. We recommend contacting us before purchasing if this information is relevant to your installation.

Does the 100 V – 240 V voltage mean it is compatible with the standard electrical grid in Spain?

Yes. The domestic electrical grid in Spain operates at 230 V, which is within the range accepted by this lamp. You do not need any additional adapter or transformer.
