The Pahu 12 glass you know, hung from three stainless steel cables under a 5-inch 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: taut, nearly invisible steel lines that let a shade float. The Pahu 12 version uses three 10-foot aircraft-quality stainless cables with the power cord alongside. A cylinder within a cylinder: soft white opal glass glowing inside a transparent outer glass in Amethyst, Clear, Armagnac, Olive or Smoke. 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 few cable pendants draw 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 octagonal box and is damp rated for indoor spaces. Our photos show the Pahu 12 glass options on their cables; the hanging details sit in the table below. Pairs well with Pahu 12 stem pendant, Pahu 12 semi-flush mount, Kristall 8 cable pendant.
