Why you'll love the ARCA No.02

  • A small travertine vault, open below. The cream travertine is hollowed into a U-shaped vault that points light down onto the counter. Its natural pin-holes are left unfilled, so every shade has its own surface.
  • Three walnut rings join stone to cord. Stacked rings of solid walnut sit above the stone, oiled so they darken slowly. The contrast with the pale travertine deepens over the years.
  • Hang three in a row over the island. At 4.7 inches across and 6.7 inches tall, one fits above a nightstand. Three in a line work over a kitchen island, a long table or a hallway.
  • Free E26 bulb, adjustable 59-inch cord. The bulb is included, and the cord adjusts for ceilings sloped up to 30 degrees. Your electrician wires it to a standard junction box, and it dims with a standard wall dimmer.

A small vault, hung in still air.

When we carved ARCA No.02, we kept returning to a single image: the open vaults of a Roman cloister, light pouring through a single arched opening onto a stone floor. ARCA holds that shape. A small travertine block, hollowed underneath into a U-shaped vault, the open mouth pointing down toward the table or counter below.

The form is compact (4.7 inches across). Hung alone, it reads as a single architectural gesture. Hung in a row of three, it makes a procession.

Above the stone, three stacked rings of solid walnut act as a hinge between the shade and the cord. They are not decoration. They are how the pendant joins to the world.

Carved, not cast

The travertine is sourced from a single Tivoli quarry. Each shade is cut and hollowed by hand. The figure of the stone is left raw, pin-holes unfilled. No two shades share the same surface.

The walnut rings are turned from solid European walnut and finished with a hand-rubbed oil. They darken slowly with time. Travertine lightens by sun-exposure. The contrast grows quietly over years.

Built to live anywhere

Hardwired into any standard US junction box. 59-inch adjustable cord, sloped ceilings up to 30 degrees accommodated. E26 socket, dimmable with a standard wall dimmer. Free dimmable bulb included; a clear filament LED suits the form best.

Sold individually. Three in a line works above an island, a long table, or a hallway.
