{"product_id":"visual-comfort-hicks-large-globe-pendant","title":"Visual Comfort Hicks Large Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eChoosing a statement pendant involves more than picking a shape you love. Scale, hanging height, and finish all need to be resolved before a globe pendant can do its job â€” and getting the chain length wrong, or misreading how a diffuser handles glare, are common project pitfalls worth avoiding early.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a pendant at this scale, diffusion matters. A translucent glass lower hemisphere softens the light source and spreads illumination evenly into the room, reducing the harshness of a bare bulb. The upper section in metal creates contrast: opaque above, luminous below. Together, they give you ambient warmth without sacrificing the fixture's visual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Visual Comfort Hicks Large Pendant, designed by Thomas O'Brien, delivers exactly that balance. It features a spherical globe split between a metal upper hemisphere with a hand-rubbed finish and a white glass diffuser below. A riveted decorative band marks the join, and the fixture suspends from a substantial rectangular-and-oval link chain with a matching domed ceiling canopy. It carries an IP20 rating, confirming it is rated for dry interior use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hicks design blends industrial detail â€” notably the evenly spaced rivets along the central band â€” with a classic spherical form. This tension between craft and geometry is characteristic of Thomas O'Brien's work. The pendant is available in three finishes: Polished Nickel, Antique Brass, and Bronze, each with a hand-rubbed quality that adds depth and an artisanal feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chain suspension is adjustable, allowing hanging height to be tailored to your ceiling clearance â€” useful in rooms where ceiling heights vary or where a precise drop is needed for a dining or entrance hall setting. The fixture is rated IP20 and is suitable for dry interior environments only. Lamp type and driver requirements should be confirmed at specification stage; this is a lamped fixture and the light source is not integrated. Please verify bulb compatibility and dimmer pairing before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Lightsource Studio, we work through the specification detail so you don't have to â€” confirming chain drop, lamp compatibility, and dimmer pairing as part of the project process. The Hicks pendant is a considered choice for a dining room, entrance hall, or living space where a hand-finished, design-led focal point is the brief.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visual Comfort","offers":[{"title":"Polished Nickel","offer_id":56281343918406,"sku":"16062647","price":1274.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Antique Brass","offer_id":56281346572614,"sku":"16062646","price":1274.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bronze","offer_id":56281346867526,"sku":"16062645","price":1274.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Antique Nickel","offer_id":56281349718342,"sku":"16062644","price":974.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8982\/3558\/files\/131902.jpg?v=1775059536","url":"https:\/\/www.lightsourcestudio.es\/en\/products\/visual-comfort-hicks-large-globe-pendant","provider":"Lightsource Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
