The story

Hirondelle, a flight of swallows

In spring in Paris, swallows gather in rows on the wires above the streets, then lift off one by one and scatter across the sky.

Hirondelle, the French word for swallow, catches that moment of flight. From a small round canopy, slender arms of carbon steel reach out in every direction, each ending in a shell-shaped shade with a pointed tip, like the head of a bird in mid-flight. Brass swivel joints let you swing every arm left or right and turn every shade, so you can shape the light to your room.

Because the arms spread outwards rather than down, the Hirondelle brings a sculptural, 1950s spirit to rooms with standard and lower ceilings: above a dining table, in a living room, a bedroom or a study. In black or white, it suits mid-century modern, French modernist, Scandinavian, minimalist and industrial interiors.

At 32 cm tall, the Hirondelle leaves about 2.08 m (6.8 ft) beneath a standard 2.4 m (8 ft) ceiling, ideal above a table or bed. Where people walk underneath, a ceiling of about 2.45 m (8 ft) or more keeps the recommended 2.1 m (7 ft) of headroom.

Questions, answered

Before you order

Choosing a size

What does Ø mean for this light?

Ø is the overall span, measured across the tips of the arms. The 3-head light comes in Ø 110 cm (43.3″) or Ø 150 cm (59.1″); the 6-head light in Ø 110 cm (43.3″) or Ø 220 cm (86.6″). Every version is 32 cm (12.6″) tall.

3 heads or 6 heads?

Three heads give a light, open silhouette that suits dining tables, bedrooms and studies. Six heads give more light and a fuller, more sculptural look, best in living rooms and open-plan spaces.

How do I check the span fits my room?

Measure the room and leave at least 30 cm (12″) between the tips of the arms and the walls. Over a dining table, a span about the length of the table, or a little shorter, keeps the shades above the table rather than over the chairs.

Is it suitable for a low ceiling?

Yes. The arms spread outwards rather than down, and the light is only 32 cm (12.6″) tall. Under a 2.4 m (8 ft) ceiling it leaves about 2.08 m (6.8 ft) beneath it, ideal above a table or bed.

Adjusting the light

Can I move the arms?

Yes. Each arm sits on a brass swivel joint at the central canopy, so you can swing it left or right to spread the arms evenly or gather them where you need light.

Can I turn the shades?

Yes. Every shade is fixed to a brass swivel knuckle, so you can turn it to aim the light down onto a table, towards a chair, or up onto the ceiling for a softer glow.

Light and installation

Which bulbs should I use?

One E26 bulb (standard in the US and Canada) or E27 bulb (standard in Europe and much of Asia) per shade, up to 40 W. Small globe LED bulbs in warm white, 2700–3000K, look best inside the open shades.

Is it dimmable?

The standard Hirondelle is on/off only. A dimmable version is available on request: please contact us before ordering.

How is it installed?

It is a hardwired ceiling light that fixes to a standard ceiling box. Our installation guide shows each step. For safety, we recommend installation by a qualified electrician, following local electrical codes.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

No. It is rated IP20 for indoor, dry rooms only.

Care and ordering

Black or white?

Black draws a crisp, graphic outline across the ceiling and stands out against pale walls. White feels softer and lighter, almost disappearing against a white ceiling so that only the glow stands out.

How do I clean it?

Switch off and let the bulbs cool, then wipe the arms and shades with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can mark the painted finish.

How soon will my order ship?

Each light is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. You will see the delivery estimate for your country at checkout.
