The Chef pendant light is a simple, yet stricking light fixture -made out of a vintage chef mixing inox bowl, painted in a bright orange colour inside to get a great contrast with the shiny chrome semi-sphere outside. 24cm diameter, 15cm high.
The bulb socket is a vintage one -in mint condition and double checked-, chosen because time has made the original golden tone fade into silvery, and this matches the whole design nicely. The wire is an orange cotton cord (2 meters long! perfect for hanging in a loop), and the dome shaped cup is a salvaged one from a 70s lamp, also chrome. The connections are neat and ready: just screw the ceiling wires in, add a bulb and enjoy this 'designy' lamp!
