Linear Pendants

A linear pendant gives you one continuous line of light rather than several separate points, which tends to read as more considered and architectural above a kitchen island or long bench. It also simplifies installation to a single fitting, and makes it easier to keep the light evenly spread along the surface rather than pooling under individual pendants.

As a general guide, aim for a pendant spanning around 60–80% of your island's length, sitting roughly centred above the bench. This keeps the light in proportion with the surface without overwhelming it. If you're between sizes or working with a custom island, our team can help you fine-tune the fit.

Yes — the same sizing principles apply. Aim for a pendant spanning roughly 60–80% of the table's length, centred above it, and allow the usual 750–900mm clearance above the surface. Linear pendants suit both settings well since they follow the shape of a rectangular table or island rather than sitting as a single point above it.

Our range spans metal, glass and natural materials like timber and linen. Metal finishes tend to focus light downward for a more directional look, glass diffuses light softly for ambient warmth, and natural materials add texture and softness to a space — though they're worth considering carefully in humid or high-use areas.

We generally recommend 750–900mm above the surface, adjusting for ceiling height and the scale of the fitting. Getting this right keeps the light functional without crowding the space below it — our lighting design team can talk through the specifics for your kitchen if you're unsure.
