Kora is a classic chandelier 61 cm across, in which five arms spread from a central stem and end in exposed E14 lampholders. The frame is steel, finished in an antique brass effect — a warm, muted gold with patina that does not glitter like new metal and sits better alongside timber and textiles than chrome does.
Adjustable height and semi-flush conversion
These are two features rarely found at this price. The fitting hangs on a 0.7 m gold cable whose length is set during installation — overall height varies from 46.5 cm to 108.5 cm. If the ceiling is low, the chandelier can be mounted directly against the ceiling as a semi-flush fitting, doing away with the drop. The same product therefore serves a dining room with a high ceiling and a bedroom in a 1970s flat.
Five E14 lamps, dimmable
The chandelier takes five replaceable E14 candle lamps, each up to 40 W. Lamps are not included. The manufacturer recommends E14 LED lamps and states that the fitting is dimmable — provided dimmable lamps and a compatible dimmer are used. With exposed lampholders, decorative filament lamps are worth considering: they are what is visible in this design, so their shape and colour determine the effect.

Installation
At 61 cm across and 2.3 kg the chandelier needs no reinforced fixing — an ordinary ceiling box with a suitable hook or anchor will do. The fitting is class I, so the circuit needs a PE earth conductor. Over a dining table the usual drop is 75–90 cm above the tabletop, easily reached within this fitting's adjustment range; in a room with a low ceiling the semi-flush version works better.
Variants
Kora also comes in a chrome finish (KORA-5CH, with clear cable) and in an eight-light version. For the family the manufacturer recommends E14 LED filament lamps, which visually complete this design.
