Where to hang it
Pendant lights over a dining table
Size the light to roughly half to two-thirds of the table’s length. A 180 cm table takes about 90–120 cm of pendant. Three Loomiosa families suit this position: Libra, whose elongated form was drawn for exactly this, and the Model 8 and Galaxy.
Which size fits your table
Measure the table along its longest side, then read across. Every size below comes from the official Loomiosa data sheet; the fit is calculated from the sizing rule, not chosen by hand.
| Table length | Sizes that fit |
|---|---|
| 120 cm | Galaxy 65 (65 cm) |
| 150 cm | Model 8 81 (81 cm) Model 8 100 (100 cm) Galaxy 100 (100 cm) |
| 180 cm | Model 8 100 (100 cm) Galaxy 100 (100 cm) |
| 210 cm | Libra 127 (127 cm) Model 8 128 (128 cm) Galaxy 135 (135 cm) |
| 240 cm | Libra 127 (127 cm) Model 8 128 (128 cm) Galaxy 135 (135 cm) |
| 270 cm | Galaxy 135 (135 cm) Model 8 163 (163 cm) |
A size appears in a row when the rule places it over that table. Round tables are the easier case: size to the diameter and centre the light.
One large light, or several small ones?
Both work, and the arithmetic is the same: a row of pendants should together span the same half-to-two-thirds of the table. Over a long table, a row keeps the light even from end to end; over a round or square one, a single centred fixture is the natural answer. The Quadra, the smallest family, is made for exactly this: our designer recommends it above dining tables in groups of two or three.
How high above the table
The convention is 75–90 cm between the tabletop and the bottom of the light: enough to light the table without blocking the view across it. This is an interior-design convention, not a Loomiosa measurement. Our lamps ship with a 150–300 cm textile cable depending on model and size, shortened on installation, so the height is set on site.
The three families for this position
Recommended by Daniel Mato, who designs every Loomiosa product. Each links to its full specification, sizes and dimension drawings.
Libra Balance and stillness. The longest of the family, made for kitchen islands and long tables. 
Model 8 Grown out of the Space 96. Some see infinity in its form, others a flying butterfly. 
Galaxy The night sky, reduced to its orbits. Its flat form works where the ceiling is low. Not sure which size?
