Why Some Chandeliers Disappear by Day — And How the Swinton Solves It
Design Story & Craftsmanship
Most ceiling fixtures only look impressive when switched on. During daylight hours, they often become flat silhouettes that add little character to the room.
By Day — Wood Sculpture
Matte white or black wood louvers create architectural shadow lines and organic warmth.
By Night — Layered Radiance
Radial E14 light points (3000K–6000K) cast downward and filtered ambient illumination.
The Anatomy of the Swinton Chandelier
4 or 5 Tiers
Concentric wood rings cascading from 20.9″ to 47.2″ in outer diameter.
6 to 18 Heads
Standard E14 candelabra bases for balanced, glare-free light dispersion.
59.0″ Drop
Adjustable suspension wire engineered for flat, vaulted, or sloped ceilings.
Metal Core
Internal steel framework that provides lifetime structural rigidity.
How the Wood Louvers Are Crafted
01 · Kiln-Drying & Grain Selection
Selected timber is kiln-dried to stabilize internal moisture, preventing warping or twisting across changing seasons.
02 · Radial Profiling & Hand-Sanding
Each slat is cut to a smooth curve, then hand-finished along the edges to ensure light reflects softly without harsh lines.
03 · Multi-Coat Protective Finish
Coated in matte white or architectural black finishes that resist dust, humidity, and heat from everyday use.

Placement & Hanging Height
Over Dining Tables
Hang the bottom edge 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop for balanced illumination and clear sightlines.
In Living Rooms
Maintain at least 7 feet (84 inches) of floor clearance when centering above coffee tables or open walking zones.
In Foyers & Stairwells
Align the central tier with the second-floor landing so the wood silhouette is visible from both levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What light bulbs are recommended for the Swinton?
Standard E14 candelabra LED bulbs (3000K warm white or 4000K neutral white) are recommended for energy efficiency and cozy light output.

Yes. The adjustable wire suspension naturally pivots and self-balances, making it compatible with flat, sloped, and vaulted ceilings.

Gently wipe the wood tiers with a dry microfiber cloth or soft feather duster. Avoid soaking or abrasive liquid cleaners.
Can the hanging length be customized?
The standard suspension is 59.0 inches (150 cm) and can be adjusted during installation. Extended custom lengths can be arranged upon request.
