The Tamburo 5 glass in its easiest hang: a finish-matched cord under a flat canopy. Choose Satin Nickel, Bronze or Black. Choose a built-in dimmable LED or your own bulb.
The Design Story
A cord is the most relaxed way to hang a pendant. The Tamburo 5 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 classic open cylinder of handblown glass in soft white Chalk or Opal Matte, or in the richer colors Cherry, Oak and Titan. 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 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 Tamburo 5 glass options in Black; the other finishes share the same glass. The hanging details sit in the table below. Pairs well with Tamburo 8 cord pendant, Stilo 12 cord pendant.
