A bare bulb over a table shines straight into the eyes of whoever sits opposite. Bud™ fixes that with shape, not wattage — a hidden inner bud diffuses the bulb into a soft, even circle of light on the surface below.

Choose the finish that suits your room — warm greige Putty or soft off-white Cream — and the light that suits the moment: Warm for a cosy amber glow, or White for a cleaner, brighter daylight tone.

Product Info

Lacquered pressed metal, E27 fitting

Material

Shade 23 × 16 cm, cord 1.5 m — 2 colours

Sizes

Overview

A second half-sphere hangs directly under the lamp inside the dome, so what reaches the table is light bounced twice — off the bud, off the white inner shade — landing as a soft circle rather than a spotlight. The cord drops 1.5 m and shortens to suit your ceiling.

Care

Switch off at the wall and let the bulb cool before cleaning. Wipe the lacquered shade with a soft dry cloth — the gloss marks easily, so avoid abrasive pads and solvent sprays. Fitting should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Materials

Pressed metal dome shade in a glossy lacquer finish with a matching inner bud diffuser and a white reflective inner face, chrome collar, fabric-covered cord and a matching 10 cm domed ceiling canopy. Size: shade 23 cm wide × 16 cm tall; canopy 10 cm; cord 1.5 m, adjustable shorter. Takes 1 × E27 bulb — a bulb is included. Weight approx. 800 g.

Sized for a real table

At 23 cm across it lights a two- to four-seat table without dominating it, and hangs in a row of two or three over an island or a run of counter.

Light you can sit under

You can hold someone's eye across the table instead of squinting past a hot filament — dinner light, not task light.

Why Bud

A lacquered dome in putty or cream, bulb included — the cheapest way to make a table feel lit rather than merely illuminated.

No more squinting across dinner

We had a bare bulb on a cord before and you genuinely could not look at the person opposite. The little inner dome fixes exactly that. Light on the table, nothing in your eyes.

Bought three for the island

Measured first — 23 cm each meant I could space three along a 1.8 m island without them crowding. Putty is a warm greige, not a cold grey, which is what I was worried about.

Heavier metal than I expected

The lacquer is properly glossy and even, and the cord shortened easily at the canopy. Electrician had it up in ten minutes. I did swap the bulb for a warmer one.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the shade?
23 cm wide and 16 cm tall (9.1 × 6.3 in), with a 10 cm ceiling canopy. It's a small pendant — one suits a two- to four-seat table, two or three suit an island.
How far does it hang down?
The cord is 1.5 m and adjusts shorter at the canopy, so you can drop it low over a table or lift it clear of a walkway.
Is a bulb included?
Yes — an E27 bulb ships with the light. If you want the golden tone shown in our photographs, swap it for a 2700K warm-white E27; the fitting takes any standard E27.
Why is there a second dome inside?
That's the bud, and it's the whole design. It sits directly beneath the bulb so the filament is hidden from a seated eye-line, and the light bounces off it and the white inner dome before it reaches the table — a soft pool instead of glare.
Can I install it myself?
It's a hard-wired ceiling fitting, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician. It mounts at a standard ceiling rose position and the canopy covers the fixing.
Which colour should I pick?
White and Putty recede: Putty is a warm greige against oak and limewash, White all but disappears into a pale ceiling. Onyx and Pine do the opposite — they read as a full stop over a table. Terracotta, Ochre and Blush warm up a neutral room. Sky is the one cool note in the range.
