The striking in addition to aptly named w151 extra large pendants, are suspended to a higher house the beautiful dining in addition to living rooms. I equally good dear the circular w171 alma lite which, designed for usage equally a pendant light, hangs on the wall, creating a soft, sculptural contrast against the mottled plaster wall. Another favourite of mine is the w163 lampyre tabular array lamp.
