The advantages of wooden fixtures
Durability and resistance of wood
Wooden pendant lights are appreciated for their exceptional durability. As a material, wood is impact-resistant and can withstand the test of time without showing signs of significant deterioration.
What’s more, its natural resilience makes it an ideal choice for fixtures destined for daily use, ensuring remarkable longevity.
A warm, natural look
The aesthetics of wooden fixtures are incomparable. Their warm, natural appearance creates a welcoming ambience in any room.
Whether in a rustic, modern or contemporary style, wood adapts harmoniously, bringing an organic, authentic touch to interior spaces.
The different types of wooden lighting
Wooden pendant lights
Wooden pendant lights offer a variety of choices for lovers of this noble material. Among them are solid wood pendants, solid and imposing, and others in composite wood, combining lightness and strength.
These pendant lamps create a subtle interplay between the rusticity of wood and the modernity of their design, like our bamboo chandelier with a hand-woven look.
Wooden wall lights
Wooden wall lights also come in a variety of designs. Those in solid wood add a touch of robustness and sophistication, while those in bamboo offer a lightweight alternative.
These wooden wall lights fit perfectly into a bedroom, a hallway or a staircase, combining functionality and aesthetics.
How to choose a wooden light fixture
Style and design
When making your choice, style and design will be decisive criteria. Scandinavian style, characterised by clean lines and natural materials, offers an elegant and timeless option. Discover this splendid Scandinavian-style chandelier in wood and metal.

In addition to aesthetics, functionality and lighting options are crucial. Adjustable fixtures let you adjust the direction of the light, offering appreciable flexibility.
Lights with LED bulbs combine energy efficiency and adjustable brightness, adding a modern dimension to these timeless rooms.

Our wooden light fittings in detail
Our wooden light fittings are mostly wall lights (about half of the models), followed by pendant lights (around a quarter) and chandeliers (one in five). Wood is used on seven models in ten and bamboo on more than a quarter, with metal on more than a third of the models, and sometimes rattan, glass, straw or rope. Beige and black are the most common colours, ahead of brown and white, in minimalist, modern, bohemian, Scandinavian or industrial styles.
Which wooden light for which room? A wooden or bamboo wall light suits a bedroom, a hallway or a staircase, like the design wooden staircase wall light or the rotating solid wood LED wall light. A pendant light or chandelier, such as the bamboo straw pendant light or the brass and wood candle-style chandelier, works well hanging over a dining table or as a ceiling light in a sitting room. Where the fitting is specified, E27 is the most common, some models have integrated LEDs, and all ship from our warehouse in China.

Frequently asked questions about wooden light fittings
Can you use a wooden light fitting with any bulb?
Use an LED bulb, which gives off very little heat, and respect the maximum wattage shown on the product page. This protects the wood, bamboo or rattan over time.
How high should a wooden pendant light hang over a dining table?
Leave about 70 to 80 cm between the table top and the bottom of the shade, so the light does not dazzle your guests. For a long table, line up two or three pendant lights.
Do wooden lights suit a Scandinavian interior?
Yes. Light wood or bamboo paired with white or black metal fits the clean lines of a Scandinavian interior, as with the wood and metal chandelier for an adult bedroom. About one model in five in our wooden selection is classed as Scandinavian.
