How high is the suspension?

In the living room

Are you looking to illuminate an armchair or a reading corner?

Position your suspension 30 to 40 cm above the target area.

This perfect height guarantees precise lighting and highlighting of the furniture.

If you are aiming for the entire room with a central pendant light, it is 1.80 m.

Above the dining table

For a convivial meal, aim for a height of 1.70 m for your suspension. This will highlight your table, while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your guests.

In the bedroom

Make your bedroom a haven of peace by installing your pendant light between 1.80 and 2 m from the floor. This height will ensure a gentle diffusion of light, perfect for a relaxation space.
