The Montera pendant showcases a translucent alabaster sphere imported directly from Spain, suspended beneath a textured ceiling rose finished in black and brass. The hand-chiseled metal canopy ripples outward to catch light and cast warm, indirect illumination downward while minimizing eye-level glare. Designed for both solitary display and coordinated arrangements, this fixture works well alone beside a reading chair or grouped over kitchen counters and dining surfaces.
Natural Spanish stone ensures each sphere possesses unique veining patterns and tone variations. These characteristics reflect the authenticity of quarried material rather than indicating defects. Buyers should expect slight differences between individual units.
Available Configurations
Beyond the standard single-light model measuring 25 cm wide by 23 cm high, larger formations accommodate expansive rooms. Three-light clusters span 30 centimeters in diameter with a drop of 150 centimeters.
Five-light setups widen to 40 cm and extend 200 cm long. Seven-light arrangements reach 50 cm across and 250 cm in height. Nine-light assemblies stretch 55 cm by 300 cm. Eleven-light formats measure 60 cm wide and 350 cm long. Fifteen-light configurations achieve a maximum spread of 70 cm width and 400 cm drop.

Common Inquiries
Origin of the alabaster?
The globe consists of solid stone quarried in Spain. This material offers superior translucency and warmth compared to synthetic alternatives or glass imitations.
Pitched ceiling compatibility?
Mounting directly onto slopes inclined up to 30 degrees is supported, eliminating the need for special brackets or suspension kits.
Recommended placement over islands or bars?
Two fixtures typically balance standard islands, while wider counters benefit from three units. Spacing centers approximately 70 to 90 cm apart creates even task lighting across the work surface.
Lighting selection?
A G9 bulb is required but omitted from the package. Warm white LEDs rated between 2700K and 3000K generate minimal heat within the enclosure and enhance the natural honey tones visible through the alabaster.
Color consistency?
Because the spheres derive from natural extraction, mineral bands and color depth differ from piece to piece. Similarly, the hammered metal finish exhibits minor texture shifts. These discrepancies represent traditional craftsmanship rather than manufacturing flaws.
Regional compliance?
The design meets safety standards applicable in North America, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. The electronic driver supports global voltage ranges between 110V and 240V.
