Which hanging light fixture above a table?

Above a dining table, choose a size proportionate to the tabletop and adjust the height to provide light without obstructing the view. For a long table, a linear model or several light points can distribute the light. Also discover our designer dining tables.

Pendant light, chandelier or ceiling light

A pendant light hangs down from the ceiling and makes it possible to visually adjust the light point. A chandelier can bring together several light sources or adopt a more imposing composition, while a ceiling light generally stays closer to the ceiling. The choice depends on the available height and the area to be lit.
