Rhea Japanese Travertine Stone Pendant

The VoriHaus Rhea Japanese Travertine Stone Pendant is cut from genuine yellow travertine, and the material is the entire design. Travertine is porous by nature, pitted with the small open cells that formed as the stone did, and when a light sits behind it those pores stop being texture and start being the light itself — a warm, uneven, faintly golden glow that no manufactured shade reproduces.

Above the stone sits a small wooden canopy, offered in a light or a dark finish. That pairing is what keeps the fixture from reading as heavy: stone below, timber above, and a slim suspension between them, so the weight of the piece is concentrated where the light is and the ceiling end almost disappears. Choose the pale wood to keep the fixture quiet against a white ceiling, or the dark to let the drop read as a deliberate line. At 4.3 inches across and 6.5 inches high it is small enough to hang in a row of two or three over an island.

It suits a kitchen island, a dining table, a hallway or a bedside — anywhere a small pool of warm light does more than a bright ceiling fitting would. Travertine is a natural stone, so color, veining and porosity vary from piece to piece; yours will not be identical to the photographs. VoriHaus recommends installation by a qualified electrician, and confirming the ceiling point and fixing can carry a solid stone shade before it goes up.
