Cafe 18 Cord Mini Pendant by Besa — A long, slim glass tube that sends light straight down on a soft cord that you trim to your exact drop.
Cord hungTall, slim, frosted baseCut to your dropDry locationSafety listed: UL or ETL3000K LED, CRI 80+
The Cafe 18 in its easiest hang: a finish-matched cord under a flat canopy. Choose Satin Nickel or Black. Choose a built-in dimmable LED or your own halogen lamp.
The Design Story
A cord is the most relaxed way to hang a pendant. The Cafe 18 version arrives with 10 feet of cord in a jacket matched to the finish, and you cut it to the drop that suits your room. A long, slim glass tube that throws light downward, frosted at the bottom so the glow shows through softly, in black or white. Besa’s signature is the glass. American designers work with European craftsmen, every shade is made by hand, and each one is inspected in Ohio before it leaves the factory, so the small variations you see are the mark of a handmade piece, not a flaw.
Why You’ll Love It
It is the easiest pendant to live with: set each one at its own height, group them at different drops, and let the cord do the work. The 3000K light stays warm and natural at CRI 80+.
Made for Real Life
It mounts to a standard 4-inch box, sloped ceilings included, and is made for dry indoor rooms; a dimmable transformer comes in the box. Our photos show the Cafe 18 options in Satin Nickel; the other finishes share the same shade. The hanging details sit in the table below. Pairs well with Prince cord mini pendant, Rondo cord mini pendant.
