Sospeso Tapered X-Large Pendant by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Sospeso Tapered X-Large Pendant by Sean Lavin is a tall, tapered spun shade held on three thin straps and hung from rigid stems. It is the statement piece of the Sospeso series, with a flared Polished Nickel shade that sends warm light down onto the table below.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin gave Sospeso thick spun metal and strong edge details, then connected the shade with thin straps so it reads as a bold, simple shape. Visual Comfort offers the series in three silhouettes that can be mixed and matched and grouped in multiples. The tapered X-Large is the tallest of them, a broad bell that narrows toward the top.

Why You'll Love It

Sospeso Tapered X-Large suits a double-height entry, a stairwell, a dining table or a kitchen island with room to spare. It ships with four 12 inch and two 6 inch rigid stems, so you can set the drop anywhere from 34 to 88 inches. The integrated 2700K LED dims on ELV, TRIAC and 0-10V dimmers.

Built for Damp Locations

Sospeso Tapered 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 shade is aluminum or brass. The LED is integrated, so there are no bulbs to replace.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Over a dining table, a kitchen island, a stairwell or a tall entry, alone or grouped with the other Sospeso silhouettes.

Who This Is Not For

This is a large, heavy pendant at 25.5 lb, so plan the ceiling box and support before you order. The shade is spun metal, so the light goes down and the shade itself does not glow. If you want a soft all-over glow, look for a glass or fabric shade.
