The dome is matte black outside and gold within. That contrast is doing real work: the black keeps the fixture visually quiet from across a room, while the gold interior bounces the bulb's light back down warmer than it left, so the pool underneath has colour in it rather than the flat white a plain shade gives. The iron is cast heavy enough to hold its shape, and two sizes are made, a 30 cm dome and a 40 cm one.
A wide dome with an open base throws a broad circle, which is why this shape ended up over kitchen islands and breakfast bars in the first place. Three of the small ones in a line will light a full counter run; one large one over a round dining table covers it on its own. It also works low over a bar, where the black exterior keeps the fitting from glaring at anyone standing. Hallways take a single one at ceiling height.
The cord extends to 200 cm, so high ceilings are fine, and the fitting takes an E26 bulb, not included; a clear filament bulb shows the gold lining and a frosted one softens it. It is hardwired to a ceiling box. Vandora stocks the larger dome for tables and the smaller for counters, which is usually the decision people are actually making.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I get for my kitchen island?
The small 30 cm dome works well in a row of three along a counter or island, giving even coverage along the run. The large 40 cm dome is sized to cover a round dining table on its own. Vandora generally sees the smaller size chosen for counters and the larger for tables, which is usually the actual decision to make.
Why is the inside gold if the outside is black?
The matte black exterior keeps the fixture visually quiet from across the room, while the gold interior bounces the bulb's light back down warmer than it left. That means the pool of light underneath has some colour in it rather than the flat white a plain shade produces. It also keeps the fitting from glaring at anyone standing near it, which matters over a bar.
What bulb should I use?
It takes an E26 base bulb, not included, on 110 to 240V. A clear filament bulb shows off the gold lining, while a frosted bulb softens the effect. Either way the open base means the bulb itself is somewhat visible, so pick a shape you don't mind seeing.
Can it handle a high ceiling?
Yes, the cord extends up to 200 cm, so a taller room is not a problem. It is hardwired to a ceiling box, so have the drop measured before installation to set the final length. Shorten the excess at the ceiling rose once the height is right.
What is it made from?
The dome is cast iron, heavy enough to hold its shape without thinning at the edges. That weight is also why the shape works well as a single statement piece over a table rather than needing extra support. The black and gold finish is baked onto the iron rather than a separate liner.
