The glass pendant light ALKU is a long, narrow tube of clear ribbed glass beneath a gold-tone metal cap – a fine rod of light that takes up almost no space yet still stands out.
Design and materials
The glass tube is covered all around with dense vertical ribs that refract the light and guide it downwards in fine stripes. At the top sits a cylindrical gold-tone cap with a knurled band, reminiscent of brass work in traditional lamp making. The light source sits in the upper part of the tube; when switched on, the glass glows with a restrained warmth and looks like a shimmering rod. A dark cable carries the light. At just 6.1 cm in diameter, ALKU is exceptionally slim.

Where the lamp shines
Above the bedside table, ALKU replaces a table lamp and keeps the surface clear. Beside an armchair or above a sideboard, the slim glass tube sets an elegant point of light. Several pendants in a row above a kitchen island or counter look like a glowing curtain. In a niche or stairwell, the slim shape also shows to good effect. As the tube is so narrow, ALKU can hang where a wide light would be in the way – above a passageway or beside a shelf, for example. The directed, calm light works better as accent and mood lighting than as the main light.
