Woven pendant lights

In the dining room or living area, a soft light and a warm atmosphere are essential. A woven pendant light brings a handcrafted, natural touch to your décor. This designer fitting enhances any room and creates an inviting space, perfect for relaxing and entertaining.

Woven pendant lights : faites le bon choix

The woven pendant light strikes the perfect balance between craftsmanship and beautifully controlled lighting.

A woven pendant light is now a bold choice to shape a room's lighting while adding a natural, textured touch. Available in rattan, bamboo, straw or jute, with diameters from 25 to 80 cm, it suits both small entrances and spacious living rooms. Its open weave diffuses the light gently, creating precise shadow effects while ensuring practical illumination. Woven pendants work well above a table, in a bedroom or lounge, and fit into both modern interiors and more bohemian or Scandinavian styles.

Which material for a woven pendant light?

Rattan pendant lights: Rattan is a strong natural fibre that brings a warm look and is very lightweight. A 40 cm diameter model weighs around 1.2 kg and is easy to install on a standard ceiling. A tightly woven shade gives soft, restful light, perfect for a bedroom or a reading corner. To explore more, browse our rattan pendant collection.

Bamboo pendant lights: Bamboo is more rigid, allowing for graphic shapes and more open weaves. A 50 cm shade lights up a six-person dining table brilliantly with a 10 to 15 W LED bulb (800 to 1200 lumens). Bamboo also copes well with humidity, making it great for kitchens and garden rooms.

Straw or jute pendant lights: These plant-based materials are softer, giving your decor a raw and authentic look. Straw pendants are often larger (up to 80 cm diameter), ideal for big spaces. Jute brings a denser weave and a softer glow, perfect for a cosy, cocooning feel.

What is the right height for a woven pendant light?

The hanging height depends on the room and how you use it. Over a dining table, leave 70 to 90 cm between the tabletop and the bottom of the shade – this avoids glare but gives great light. In a living room or bedroom, aim for 210 to 230 cm from the floor to let people walk under it freely. For high ceilings (over 2.8 m), choose an adjustable cable of at least 120 cm.

The diameter of your woven pendant should suit the room size: 30 to 40 cm for a hallway or entrance; 50 to 60 cm for a 12-15 m² bedroom; 70 cm or more for a living room over 25 m². For matching your lounge lighting, explore our living room pendant selection.

In kitchens, a woven pendant of 30 to 40 cm diameter, hung 80 cm above a central island, gives targeted lighting that won't get in the way when cooking. If fitting above a bathroom sink, check for a minimum IP44 rating to withstand moisture.

How to choose the right brightness and colour temperature?

Since woven pendants diffuse filtered light, we recommend an LED bulb of 8 to 15 W (equivalent to 60-120 W old-style bulbs) for 700 to 1200 lumens, depending on the shade size and area to light. For a warm, welcoming feel, pick a colour temperature of 2700 to 3000 K (warm white). In a kitchen or office, a neutral white of 3500 to 4000 K highlights the weaving's texture without yellowing the light.

Woven pendants suit natural or boho interiors perfectly. Team with a rattan light fitting for more texture, or add linen accessories and pale wood for a Scandinavian mood.

Woven pendants are easy to care for: regular dusting with a feather duster or microfibre cloth is enough. For rattan or bamboo models, avoid too much moisture as it may warp the fibres. For stains, a slightly damp cloth works – no abrasives needed.

Woven pendants also come in XXL versions for large spaces, or mini sizes for hallways and small rooms. For another natural option that’s a touch different, the wicker pendant collection offers even more textures and weaves.
