Sculptural Warmth in Natural Stone
The Caspian Cylinder Pendant brings refined elegance to modern interiors through the use of hand-carved natural alabaster stone. Unlike synthetic alternatives, this fixture relies on genuine mineral properties to diffuse light, creating a soft, honey-colored glow rather than harsh artificial beams. Each pendant features unique veining and translucency patterns inherent to the raw material, ensuring no two fixtures look identical. The vertical column design offers a sleek profile that suits compact spaces while delivering significant ambient illumination.
This slim column pendant balances organic textures with architectural precision. Finished with matte black metal caps and a round ceiling canopy, the fixture maintains a clean, intentional aesthetic whether lit individually or clustered in groups. It works effectively above kitchen islands and dining tables, or stands alone over entryways and bedside nooks. The adjustable suspension cords allow precise height customization to match various ceiling heights and space requirements.

Installation & Usage Notes
This fixture requires hardwiring into a ceiling junction box. For slanted ceilings, please verify structural compatibility during installation—professional electrician assistance is recommended. When installing over surfaces like counters or tables, position the bottom of the shade approximately 30–36 inches above the surface to maintain adequate sightlines. Ensure clearance remains at least 7 feet high for walkway paths.
The alabaster stones are durable but require careful maintenance. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid water, cleaners, or solvents which may damage the stone surface. Always switch off power and allow bulbs to cool before cleaning. While suitable for bathroom vanities away from direct water spray, the fixture is rated primarily for dry interior environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from glass pendants?
Unlike glass which reflects light, alabaster absorbs and transmits it through the mineral structure, resulting in softer, warmer lighting.
What kind of bulbs are optimal?
We recommend G9 warm white bulbs (2700–3000K). Dimmable versions enhance the cozy atmosphere when paired with a compatible dimmer switch.
Can this be grouped together?
Yes. The unit includes independent wiring components allowing you to cluster multiple pendants by mixing lengths or grouping them evenly over islands.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No. With an IP20 rating, this fixture is designed strictly for indoor, dry locations and is not waterproof.
