The Polo modern drum pendant light features a shallow, straight‑sided profile that brings understated contemporary elegance to homes, hospitality projects, and commercial interiors. Its defining detail is the central opening, finished with a personalised fabric combination. Choose a matching inner and outer fabric for a seamless look, or create a bold two‑tone effect by selecting contrasting colours from the studio’s standard fabric options.
For complete creative freedom, the Polo can also be crafted using customers’ own fabric (COM). Shown here in James Hare Shagreen fabric with a coordinating Airforce Blue satin inner, it highlights the distinctive “polo” silhouette - ideal for installations where the interior of the shade is visible, such as over dining tables, kitchen islands, or as a statement feature light.
Handcrafted in Oxfordshire by The Light Shade Studio, the Polo pendant combines premium materials with meticulous craftsmanship. Available in two sizes, the large 85cm version houses six Edison screw GLS lamps, discreetly concealed behind a frosted glass diffuser secured with polished chrome clips. The bespoke drum shade features a crisp rolled‑edge finish, a bright white laminate lining for enhanced light reflection, and a polished chrome ceiling cup.
The result is a refined, UK‑made designer pendant offering bright, even illumination and a versatile, space‑saving silhouette - perfect for low ceilings, minimalist interiors, and contemporary schemes. Choose from the studio’s extensive luxury fabric collection or specify a custom material to tailor your Polo pendant to your interior.
