Stacked metal discs of decreasing diameter form the shade, layered like a shallow tiered hat, in either green or orange. Each layer overlaps the next, so light escapes in a ring between the tiers as well as straight down. The largest disc is 34.5 cm across and the whole shade is only 14.5 cm deep, which gives it presence without hanging into the room.
A wide, shallow shade is the right shape over a table. Hung 75 to 85 cm above a dining surface it lights the full width of it and leaves faces out of the glare. Over a kitchen island the same shape covers a long bench with one fixture instead of three. In a bedroom it works as a central light where a flush ceiling fitting would be dull. The coloured exterior with a pale inner face reflects warmth back down.
It is metal throughout, hangs from an adjustable cord you set at installation, and takes an E27 bulb, which is not included and worth choosing a wide-beam LED for. Wipe the painted surface with a dry cloth and avoid abrasives. Vandora looks for shapes that hold up in a room long after the trend that produced them has passed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How high should I hang it over a table?
Around 75 to 85 cm above the surface is the sweet spot, since the wide, shallow shade lights the full width of the table at that height while keeping the tiers out of anyone's eyeline. The cord adjusts at installation, so you can fine-tune the drop for your ceiling height.
Green or orange?
Both are the same tiered metal shade, so the choice comes down to which coloured exterior suits the room. Either way, the pale inner face of the discs reflects warmth back down toward the table, so the light quality is the same regardless of colour.
Does it only work over a dining table?
No. The same wide, shallow shape works well over a kitchen island, where one fixture can cover a long bench instead of needing three, and it also suits a bedroom as a central light where a flush ceiling fitting would feel dull.
What bulb should I use?
It takes a standard E27 bulb, not included. A wide-beam LED is worth choosing here, since the tiered shade is designed to let light escape both downward and out through the rings between layers.
How do I clean the painted discs?
Wipe the surface with a dry cloth and avoid abrasives, which will scratch the paint finish. Regular dusting between the tiers keeps the layered look crisp. That is the only care it needs.
