Maple 55 by Design For The People is a brown pendant with a metal shade formed from broad, rounded petals. Charlotte Høncke's design spreads those elements around a single bulb rather than enclosing it in a conventional dome. This is item 2220293009, supplied with a white textile-covered cable and an E27 fitting.
A wide shade with a shallow profile
The shade measures 55 cm across, while the light itself is 19 cm high. When planning its position over a dining table, compare that width with the tabletop and nearby furniture. A shallow profile does not make this a small pendant: the petals extend much further sideways than downwards. That distinction also matters when setting out more than one light along a table.
The cable is 300 cm long. This is a cable measurement, not the shade height or the overall height of the installed pendant. Check the ceiling connection and the intended hanging position together before installation. The mounting instructions show assembly of the separate shade elements as well as the electrical connection inside the ceiling canopy.
Choose the bulb separately
Maple takes one E27 bulb rated at no more than 40 W; a bulb is not included. Brightness and colour temperature therefore depend on the bulb you buy. A brown shade does not, by itself, mean that the light will be warm white. From below, the bulb is visible between the petals, so its shape and appearance contribute to the finished arrangement too.
Dimming requires a dimmable bulb and a control compatible with that bulb. The fitting does not provide a fixed light output or colour temperature. Those choices are particularly relevant over a table used for both meals and other activities, rather than only as a decorative focal point.
Petal-shaped detail above the table
The manufacturer specifically identifies the dining table as a suitable position. The curved metal elements offer a distinctive detail for modern interiors without relying on a rigid geometric shade. In a living room or bedroom, allow for the 55 cm spread and clearance beneath the suspension. Metal is the primary material, with plastic used as a secondary material; the light is not an entirely metal construction.
