The Kristall 8 glass you know, hung from a single stainless steel cable with a dome canopy. Satin nickel, bronze or black. Choose a built-in dimmable LED or your own bulb.
The Design Story
Cable suspension is the architect’s choice for tall rooms: a taut, nearly invisible steel line that lets the glass float. The Kristall 8 version uses a 10-foot aircraft-quality stainless cable with the power cord alongside. Fine ridges turn a plain sphere into something that catches the light, in Clear, Smoke or sparkling Glitter. 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 feels lighter than a stem and more precise than a cord. In a double-height room or a loft, a row of cable pendants draws clean vertical lines from the ceiling. The 3000K LED with CRI 90+ keeps the light warm and natural.
Made for Real Life
It mounts to a standard 4-inch box, sloped ceilings included, and is damp rated for indoor spaces. Our photos show the Kristall 8 glass; this version hangs from the cable and dome canopy described in the details. Pairs well with Kristall 8 cord pendant, Kristall 8 stem pendant, Coco 8 stem pendant.
