The glass pendant light ALKU is a narrow, long tube of clear fluted glass beneath a gold-tone metal cap – a fine rod of light that takes up hardly any space yet still stands out.
Design and materials
The glass tube has dense vertical ribs all around that refract the light and guide it downward in fine stripes. At the top sits a cylindrical, gold-tone cap with a knurled band, reminiscent of traditional brass work in lighting. 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 cord carries the pendant. At just 6.1 cm (2.4 in) in diameter, ALKU is especially slim.

Where the lamp shines
Above the nightstand, ALKU replaces the table lamp and keeps the surface clear. Beside an armchair or above a sideboard, the slim glass tube adds 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 slender shape also shows to good advantage. Because the tube is so narrow, ALKU can hang where a wide light would be in the way – for example above a passageway or next to a shelf. The directed, calm light works better as accent and mood lighting than as the main light.
