Overview

The HAKA lamp by FARO is a ceiling pendant luminaire with a round rattan shade and black steel structure. It is designed for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms, where ambiance matters as much as the light itself. The 530 mm shade lets light pass through its weave, forming a soft shadow pattern on walls and ceiling that changes throughout the day.

It is not a low-profile oval lamp or a discreet piece. HAKA occupies its space naturally, without feeling visually heavy. The Mediterranean style that defines this model fits well with warm interiors, with natural materials such as wood or wicker, and also with cleaner spaces where a touch of texture is desired.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Its products are distributed throughout Europe and are distinguished by combining functional design with durable materials.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the pendant lamp, check that the ceiling point where it will be fixed can support the weight of the assembly. The cable has a length of 2400 mm, which allows the hanging height of the luminaire to be adjusted. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a certified electrician, as it involves direct connection to the mains. Make sure the power is off before handling any wiring.

To clean the rattan shade, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive chemical products that could damage the fibers. The black steel structure can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not wet the inside of the lamp or expose the luminaire to direct moisture, as it is not designed for bathrooms or kitchens with heavy steam.

Design and use

The HAKA lamp has a round shade woven in rattan, with a diameter of 530 mm. Rattan is a plant-based material of natural origin that is worked in an artisanal manner and brings organic texture to any room. When light passes through the weave, it projects a play of light and shadow on the surroundings that is reminiscent of Mediterranean interiors: warm, characterful, and unpretentious.

The structure supporting the shade is made of steel with a black finish. This color is neutral in the sense that it does not impose a specific style, but it does clearly define the profile of the pendant lamp. The black metal contrasts with the natural tone of the rattan and gives the ensemble a balance between the organic and the contemporary. It is a detail that prevents the lamp from looking too rustic or too modern, landing somewhere in between that works in various contexts.

In a living room, a luminaire of these dimensions acts as a focal piece without needing to be the sole point of interest. Placed above a coffee table or in a reading corner, it defines the zone and provides a scale that balances the space. In a dining room, suspended above the table, it creates an atmosphere different from general ceiling lighting: more intimate, more suited to the moment of gathering for a meal. The 530 mm diameter is appropriate for standard-sized tables without dominating the space.

In a bedroom, this lamp — oval in silhouette when seen in perspective due to its circular shape — can replace bedside lights in rooms where a single, enveloping light source is preferred. The warmth that the rattan conveys when diffusing the light makes the atmosphere less direct and more welcoming, something that is appreciated in rest spaces. It is not a reading lamp in the strict sense, but it is a light source that accompanies the end of the day well.

The 2400 mm cable allows the luminaire to be positioned at different heights depending on the room's ceiling. In spaces with high ceilings, it can be lowered further to bring the light source closer to the living plane. With standard ceilings, it can be adjusted so it does not hang too low. This adjustment range is one of the practical aspects valued in a suspension pendant lamp.

The socket is E27, compatible with LED bulbs of up to 15 W. The lamp does not include a bulb, which allows you to choose the color temperature best suited to the intended use. A warm LED bulb accentuates the effect of the rattan and reinforces the Mediterranean ambiance. A more neutral light gives a cleaner result, closer to a Nordic or contemporary aesthetic. The voltage range of 100V–240V makes it compatible with standard electrical installations.

The total weight is 1.67 kg, placing it within the usual range for ceiling lamps of this type. No special reinforcement is required at the anchor point, although it is always advisable to verify that the ceiling rose or junction box is properly secured before hanging any luminaire.

Questions and answers

Can the 2400 mm cable be shortened if the room's ceiling is low?

Yes. The suspension cable can be gathered and adjusted during installation to adapt the drop height of the lamp to each room's ceiling. It is advisable to have this done by an installer to ensure the cable routing is neat and safe.

Does the rattan shade filter a lot of light, or does it illuminate the space well?

Rattan allows light to pass through in a diffused manner. The main effect is atmospheric: it projects a pattern of light onto the walls and ceiling that creates a warm ambiance. For intense functional lighting, it is recommended to combine it with other light sources in the room.

Can this pendant lamp be installed in a kitchen or bathroom?

It is not suitable for environments with high humidity such as bathrooms or kitchens with steam. The rattan and steel structure are not treated for such conditions. Its recommended use is in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms.
