Shakkei Double X-Large Pendant by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Shakkei Double X-Large Pendant by Sean Lavin is two stacked, softly rounded layers of clear glass wrapped around a slim central light tube, hung from a thin rigid stem. The glass stays clear, so the pendant reads as a light, airy shape over a table or island. Choose Clear Bronze or Clear Natural Brass.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin drew Shakkei from the swirl and softness of hand-formed glass. Visual Comfort describes it as made by skilled artisans, with a swirl detail and a gentle, enchanting glow. The double layers give this X-Large size a broad, soft profile that looks as good from below as from across the room.

Why You'll Love It

Visual Comfort suggests pendants like this for kitchen island task lighting, bedroom lighting or a home office, and the double X-Large is big enough for a dining table or a wide entry. It ships with four 12 inch and two 6 inch rigid stems, so you can set the drop anywhere from 18.2 to 72.2 inches. The integrated 2700K LED dims on ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Shakkei Double X-Large Pendant is ETL listed, and Visual Comfort lists it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. The pendant is brass with a glass shade. The LED is integrated, so there are no bulbs to replace.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Over a kitchen island, a dining table, a bedroom or a home office, alone or in a row of two or three.

Who This Is Not For

At 194 lumens and 8 W this is a soft accent glow rather than a bright task light, so pair it with other light if you need strong light over a work surface. It also weighs 20 lb, so plan the ceiling box and support before you order.
