Where to hang it

Pendant lights over a kitchen island

Size the light to roughly half to two-thirds of the island’s width. A 180 cm island takes about 90–120 cm of pendant: one large piece, or a row of smaller ones adding up to it. Three Loomiosa collections are made for this position: Libra, Model 8 and Galaxy.

Which size fits your island

Measure the island 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.

Island width Sizes that fit
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)
300 cm Model 8 163 (163 cm) Libra 190 (190 cm)

A size appears in a row when the rule places it over that island width. Where a row is empty, combine two smaller lights instead (see below).

How many pendant lights over a kitchen island?

One large fixture or a row of smaller ones both work; together they should span the same half to two-thirds of the island. Two lights hung over a 240 cm island want about 120–160 cm between the outer edges, not each. A single wide fixture reads calmer; a row gives more even light along a working surface.

How high should pendant lights hang above a kitchen island?

Hang the light so there is 75–90 cm (roughly 30–35 inches) between the countertop and its lowest point. That is high enough to see across the island and low enough to light the work surface. 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 exact height is set on site.

Which sculptural pendant lights work over a kitchen island?

The most sculptural choice is a piece that reads as one continuous form from every seat: the Libra, a single 127 or 190 cm line of light; the Model 8, one tube drawn into the symbol of infinity, 81 to 163 cm wide; and the Galaxy, suspended at an angle, 65 to 135 cm across. All three are anodised aluminium tubes held in 3D-printed brackets, assembled by hand in Szentendre, Hungary.
