Nova Stretch Swag Lamp

Stretch Swag Lamp brings Nova of California design to the room as a plug-in swag light that hangs from a ceiling hook and plugs into the wall, so you get a pendant look without any wiring.

The light is 1500 lumens of 2700K warm light, and the bulb is in the box. It dims from a inline dimmer on the inline/ cord. 15 finish combinations let you tune it to the palette you already have.

The Design Story

Nova opened in a Brooklyn factory in 1923 and now draws from Venice Beach, California. The line is what Nova calls California Modern: furniture-grade wood, metal and glass shaped into lamps meant to be lived with.

Why You’ll Love It

It reads as furniture, not hardware. Built from steel and linen, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 9 in tall, 22 in wide, and 22 in deep, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1500 lumens of 2700K warm light, CRI 95+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. Choose your finish: shade in crimson red, turquoise, avocado, black, burlap, mustard, cashmere gray, and white; body finish in satin nickel and weathered brass.

Made for Real Life

Day to day it is easy. A ceiling hook holds it and a wall outlet powers it; no wiring is needed. Dust it with a dry cloth, keep harsh cleaners away, and use a dimmable, flicker-free LED if you dim it, as Nova recommends.

LED vs. Incandescent

A bulb’s brightness is its lumen count, and its wattage is only the electricity it uses. Here that means 1500 lumens from a 14W LED, the same punch as an old 100W incandescent, without the heat. Incandescents read a touch warmer and softer, but they run hot and burn out faster. Switching later is easy: keep the same base, and choose a dimmable, flicker-free LED rated 2700K.

Putting It Together

Expect to do a little final assembly when it arrives. The instructions are packed in the box; ask us if you want a look at them first.

Details and Dimensions

Where It Shines

It looks best above a reading chair, in a corner or over a bed, or where there is no ceiling junction box. It is not the right pick for anyone who wants a hardwired look with no visible cord.
