Wood Pendant Lighting
Christophe Mathieu’s iconic Discoco Pendant ascends new heights in this version constructed with American Oak. Oak discs float around a Black Chrome finished internal Metal structure, shielding the light source and at the same time delivering warm reflected light. Every detail of the Discoco Wood Pendant Light is carefully crafted resulting in a statement piece that completes a well-designed dining room, living area or entryway.
With every design for LZF, Burkhard Dammer finds a unique challenge in working with the relationship between wood and light. Enter the Poppy Pendant, a cloud-like sphere made of thick, spaced-out wood strips sourced by the Forest Stewardship Council. As unique as they come, the staggered strips ensure an ideal balance of light illuminates your living space, while also showing off the one-of-a-kind sustainable material that makes up every LZF design. And when night falls, the transparent cord gives a sense of dream-like wonder as the Poppy Suspension Light floats in place.

The LZF Escape Pendant eludes conformity with an abstract amalgamation of traversing geometric planes. A jumble of ethically sourced wood veneer strips hover over one another in a crisscross pattern, the light source discreetly tucked away in the midst of the controlled chaos. Escape makes for some interesting light play due to the configuration and semi-translucent nature of the veneer panels.
The LZF I-Club Slim Suspension is an elegant lozenge-shape shade with direct and indirect lighting. Wrapped with wood veneers in a variety of colors, the I-Club Slim is able to create ambient light in addition to the task light shining through opal polycarbonate diffuser. The grain of the wood softens the look of the minimalist silhouette, giving the design a natural appeal with warm illumination.
The David Trubridge Floral Pendant is a blooming geometric polyhedron inspired by nature. The natural bamboo components piece together a flower pattern in an open composition, allowing light to flood through. Keep a natural look or choose an interior color available in a variety of vibrant hues. The ambient light within casts geometric shadows around the fixture while also highlighting the grain of the bamboo or pop of color inside. Environmentally conscious, the fixture ships flat to reduce packaging and freighting to help preserve ocean and land environments, appropriate for the natural theme of the Floral Pendant.
With a smooth, elegant finial made of mango wood, the Wood and Glass Bell Pendant from Capital Lighting presents a beachy, coastal vibe to your living space. The bulb within the layered, thick-rimmed glass shade is given considerable space to glow, a pleasing source of light alone, but also diffusing through the clear dome shade, enhancing the entire piece as the light ripples through the waving pattern on the glass and into your home.
The Thao Pendant Light from Seascape Lamps is their original drum pendant and remains their most popular pendant. An elegant and stunning fixture for above one’s dining room table, kitchen island, office or just about any place in the home. Seascape pendants feature a handmade shade with silver braided cord and brushed nickel hardware. The inner shade is in white linen to help diffuse the light and create a comfortable radiance in whichever room it is installed.
A radiant sunrise glows through a rustic farmhouse fence. The Luz Oculta Wood Drum Pendant by Zaneen blends metal and wood elements into a gorgeous fixture that emanates a sense of calmness and rural charm. Suspend it above a living room couch and watch as its luminous character and countryside appeal make your house guests feel warm and welcome.

The David Trubridge Design Kina Pendant is an enormous lighting fixture inspired by a diminutive sea creature. At more than five feet around, the Kina yet retains the shape and pattern evocative of a sea urchin's shell. It is made out of durable, warm bamboo components, pre-assembled with plastic clips.
The Pola Pendant by David Trubridge is a vibrant, organic piece consisting of 92 snowflake shapes cut from bamboo plywood. Each snowflake is equipped with push-in nylon clips for easy assembly on site, though the fixture arrives pre-assembled. A single bulb hangs from the center of the sphere, offering a decorative contrast of light and dark surfaces as well as dynamic shadow casting that helps bring your space to life.
Let it snow. All year long. Designed during an art fellowship in Antartica (of course!), the David Trubridge Snowflake LED Pendant extends an exquisitely detailed filigreed pattern around the perimeter of its natural wood shade. Constructed from sustainable hoop pine, the latticed geometric arrangement engulfs its surroundings in dazzling flurries of crystalline shadows. Each Snowflake is shipped assembled.
Symmetrical simplicity. A seamless ring of energy efficient fluorescence, the LZF Cuad Pendant tweaks the clean lines with something as seemingly innocuous as a suspension cable. The need for electronic ballast turns a functional necessity into a key design element, creating a welcome visual quirk. Strips of eco-friendly natural wood veneer, available in an array of finishes, provide a contemporary frame for the top and bottom acrylic diffusers.
If you ask a modern lighting designer to create an elegant piece inspired by a beautifully aged wooden segment, after some time they’ll present you something resembling the graceful Disq LED Pendant from Hubbardton Forge. The cylindrical piece is slim enough to appear as a glowing disk; its fabric shade offers a nice subtle contrast with the glowing ringed base of the piece. The led in the housing produces its ringed effect when seen from below, as well as a nice ambient downlight. It creates a beautiful, intimate glow over contemporary modern and classic wooden tables.
The David Trubridge Koura Pendant is named after the Maori word for fresh water shrimp native to the rivers of New Zealand. Comprised of natural bamboo pieces in the shape of the same woven traps used for catching koura, the tear drop shape is elongated, as if being pulled out of water. The ambient light within casts geometric shadows around the fixture as well as highlighting the natural grain of the bamboo.
A comfortable living environment begins with a relaxed level of brightness, and the Oakhill 3-Light Pendant by Savoy House produces a tranquil shine in contemporary style. Its stunning band with riveted detailing adds a touch of modernity to the already-transitional style of the cylindrical wire cage that surrounds the light sources. A finish in provincial wood with ebony completes the chic appeal of this pendant, making it ideal for the room where guests are entertained.

Referencing the Maori identifier for fish traps (or hinaki) the David Trubridge Hinaki Pendant is a perfected and polished take on a longstanding New Zealand artisan craft. Retaining the principal profile, Trubridge substitutes his favored material medium of sustainable bamboo for woven vines, elevating a humble staple of Maori life into a contemporary and eco-friendly light fixture. Ships flat-packed and must be assembled onsite.
Symmetrically sound and dynamically detailed. The Troy Lighting Balboa Pendant balances contrasting shapes and materials to deliver a piece that’s truly extraordinary. An outer cage made of Rattan offers intricate spacing and design while bringing a rustic aesthetic through the natural material. Suspended within that casing is a beautiful Linen shade, delicately diffusing an outward glow while directing downlighting through the mouth of the Rattan body. With the outer frame bowing around the cylindrical shade, the pendant has intriguing symmetrical appeal between the two layers. Rustic tones and modern style give this fixture an exquisite look, perfect for your contemporary living or dining room.
A traditional and homey design. The Wood Lattice Pendant from Regina Andrews has a sophisticated construction reminiscent of old-timey wood lanterns. It has an open boxed appearance that prominently displays the lights housed within. Its use of candelabra bulbs enhances the traditional look and fill the room with a steady and brilliant glow. The wood of the frame is often purposefully distressed, and variations in color and texture are features, not bugs, insuring that each product is unique.
After interior design experts Marivi Calvo and Burkhard Dammer arrived home from their trip to Istanbul, they brought with them the inspiration that led to the Totem 3 Suspension Light by LZF Lamps. Its air veneer globes are stacked in a tiered pattern, while the gorgeous grained wood veneers are organized in strips to generate diffused illumination. UL-listed and sporting an 8-foot cord, this fixture radiates exotic beauty.
Beautiful, bold and strikingly natural. The Troy Lighting Breuer Pendant delivers excellent overhead lighting through a rustic frame that’s been skillfully crafted. A Hand-Worked Iron base holds a sphere of Malacca, intricately woven and rich with natural details. Soft lighting highlights the interior of the shade, creating a contrasting glow on either side of the intertwining strands. The thin support bar adds an understated element to the body, while the size and style of the shade make this pendant an obvious statement piece. With rustic flair packed into a modern design, this fixture will bring a renewed sense of fashion and illumination to your living room, dining room or entryway.
Contemporary style meets countryside charm. The Luz Oculta Wood Mini Pendant by Zaneen is defined by a pattern of wooden slats, allowing for a soothing illumination of light akin to a rural home sunrise. Suspended from a sturdy cable and compatible with a standard dimmer, this pendant works nicely on its own or paired with various sized pendants from the same collection.
Like the makeshift bird home it takes its name from, the Jefdesigns Band Nest Pendant provides a safe and sturdy home for the light within it. The bulb is covered with a Polymatt diffuser, keeping the light shining warmly and without excessive harshness, and encased in a White Linen cylindrical shade for elegant color and shape. On the inside of the shade is a digitally printed Wood pattern, which adds a naturalist touch to the modern design.
Crafted from sustainably harvested Spanish Poplar trees, the LZF Gea Pendant brings exotic warmth to the iconic drum shade. Featuring clean lines and a natural wood veneer shade that highlights the rich texture of the wood grain, a delicate atmosphere is created with its warm diffused light. Gea is finished with a contemporary Nickel ceiling canopy.
The LZF Saturnia Pendant, Oskar Cerezo's elegant yet extraordinarily simple suspension fixture, casts a warm light softened by the wood veneer side panel and more direct illumination above and below through polycarbonate diffusers. The Saturnia Pendant features a Natural timber wood veneer shade in a variety of colors and Nickel canopy.
The Natural Wood rings that surround the light bulb on the Abruzzo Pendant by Eurofase are retractable, bringing a customizable bit of contemporary charm to your home. The ability to shift the Wood rings provides unique shadow play possibilities, as the ambient light travels between the geometric gaps created by the overlapping patterns of the rings. Its unique shape isn’t outlandish, so this pendant is sure to fit well with a multitude of interior design ideas.
The Multi LED Pendant by Stickbulb brings a delicate and refined illumination to contemporary spaces. Three adjustable downrods descend from a shared metal canopy to suspend a linear wooden beam. A clamping mechanism at the rod’s end allows for each beam’s integrated LED light to be oriented downward for a more focused light or upward for reflective, ambient illumination. Customizable, stylish, and environmentally-friendly, this fixture is handmade in New York from sustainably-sourced and easily recyclable materials.
The John Beck Steel Light Three LED Wood Pendant goes against the grain (pun intended) of their love of steel, featuring a solid wood rectangular structure with LED light. The natural wood warms up the hard-edges of its steel cousin, but still has that industrial element that can work in any space. Glare is eliminated with the frosted Acrylic bottom diffuser, spreading the light evenly below. Two position options provide flexible installation; choose the center canopy option if the J-box is in the center of where you are installing the light. If not, the 2 point hanging option places the canopy above one of the suspension cables.
A splendid visual woven around light. Using vivid texturing and natural materials, the LZF Lola LED Pendant offers a transformative fixture for your modern space. The shade features Wood Veneer, carefully crafted to present its beautiful grain as the LED light emphasizes every detail within the diffuser. The thoughtful weaving of the shade creates a layering effect, enhancing the texture of the light as it passes through and giving the otherwise thin diffuser impressive volume. As the Wood delivers a warm ambient glow, downlighting flows freely through the open mouth of the pendant, shining useful directional light over the surfaces below.
The crisp form of the Arteriors Jarrod Drum Pendant makes it the ideal way to add a natural, rustic element into modern spaces. Its precisely perforated Natural Wax wood shade also includes a plain mirror top in its interior, which focuses the majority of the ambient light downward and out through the holes.
The jefdesigns Tile 3 Pendant features a simple cylindrical shade digitally printed with an abstract pattern of wood tones. Using this printing method, the shade is able to look like real wood veneer, but then becomes translucent once lit. Before the image is printed on the shade, the linen is completely white, as seen by the bottom diffuser which fully encloses the interior light source.
Inspired by the delicious memory of eating breadfruit in Tahiti, the David Trubridge Ulu Half Pendant features a design based on the shape of the leaves of the breadfruit tree (or ulu in Tahitian). Each of the Natural Bamboo components features the same geometric shape, making them easy to assemble into the pictured drum shade.
The LZF Raindrop LED Pendant captures the beauty of a raindrop in mid-fall. Its shade is a teardrop-shaped basket made of fine wood veneer strips. Within floats a globe of White glass. Light flows from it and through the strips, creating a veritable shower of illumination. Available in four sizes (the largest nearly 5' tall) and a range of wood veneer colors.
A bold and unique patterned lamp that gives a swinging vintage vibe to any room. The Timber LED Pendant from Access Lighting is designed with a classic RLM downlight shade in Metal. That classic profile is given a whole new look with its unique wood grain pattern finish. This shade is suspended from a single cord and mounted to the ceiling with a matching plate. A look that’s perfectly at home in mid-century revival businesses or Danish modern homes, it’s a striking addition that adds charm and whimsy to any space.
An old-fashioned design with a bold look. The Wood Barrel Chandelier from Alder & Ore has a rustic style reminiscent of its medieval ancestors. The wood is bent to give the piece a curved, almost pendant-like shape. Surrounding the wood is a metal ring, off of which branch several arms that hold up housing units and bulbs crafted to look like candles and flame. The metal has a rustic iron finish, which gives it an appearance to match its unwavering durability. Though traditional in its creation, this product can complement transitional spaces as well.
The David Trubridge Belle Pendant expands on the illuminative potential of natural bamboo by examining how different wood finishes and forms can alter and create new lighting effects. A slight departure from Trubridge’s open composition lanterns, the overlapping ringlets of bamboo plywood connect closely together, allowing less visible light to escape from the exterior. A circular opening at the bottom provides sufficient down light in absence of the widespread ambient light. The natural finish filters more light through with a soft glow while the darker stain alters the character to something more enigmatic and mysterious.
The David Trubridge Beau Pendant expands on the illuminative potential of natural bamboo by examining how different wood finishes and forms can alter and create new lighting effects. A slight departure from Trubridge’s open composition lanterns, the overlapping ringlets of bamboo plywood connect closely together, allowing less visible light to escape from the exterior. Handsome down light is enriched by the warm tone of the wood and is spread generously with the large shade, compensating for the obscured ambient light through the bamboo. The natural finish filters more light through with a soft glow while the darker stain alters the character to something more enigmatic and mysterious.
Around and around the pattern goes. The Tile 3 Nest Pendant from Jefdesigns seems like a fairly nondescript light fixture at first glance, but it possesses a lively personality. The interior shade features a repeating pattern of broad horizontal planks of various sizes that seem to float against a white background. This diffuses the light to provide whichever room it’s hung in with ample illumination. The exterior of the shade is simple white linen that will fit right in with different interior designs.
The Russell Single Light Pendant from Capital Lighting harkens back to the time where rustic traditions began to mingle with bold, industrial design. Making a statement on its own with a gorgeous visual texture is a tapered accent at the top of the structure, handcrafted in mango wood. From it, circular oriented lines radiate out, creating an open-air caged framework. When lit with a clear, incandescent bulb, a golden rod of light gently passes through the linear framework evoking a welcoming feeling.
Echoing circular shapes claim pride of place in the Brayden Pendant by Capital Lighting. An open orb of metal hoops hangs from a fine chain, surrounded by a ring around its lower half. Open candelabra-style sockets dot the upper edge, casting a bright glow all around the fixture. A mixture of ornate finials and hubs with simple rings makes it an ideal companion for most modern décor, and the brightness of its lamping is well suited to large open living spaces, foyers, and tall hallways.
An illuminating Shangri-La of style and perfection. The Utopia LED Pendant designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard for Corbett Lighting makes a bold statement in a modern home or office setting. Combining touches of ancient India with 1950’s Italy, the sculptural design mixes eras and materials together to create a unique statement with universal appeal. A petite dome shade that illuminates with a single energy-saving LED light, it resembles a down-turned drinking vessel that pours light over a kitchen eating nook, workspace or dining table. Touches of black and polished Brass accents amp up the dressed-up sophistication creating a standalone accent light or an eye-pleasing grouping.
The ELK Lighting Modern Organics Drum Pendant blends the beauty of nature with luxurious design. Sustainable natural elements are embedded within the fixture's clear panels, giving it a weightless organic appearance. Polished Chrome hardware adds a final finishing touch.
The Seascape Lamps Clive Pendant layers two variations of the drum shade, changing the look of a classic and familiar shape while also doubling the amount of light created. The top shade is available in a variety of colors and textures, while the bottom cylindrical shade is always left in white. Both shades are enclosed with a frosted white diffuser, optimizing the diffusion of surrounding and down light.
The Axis Wide Pendant by ELK Lighting is a dynamic and airy addition to your home. With an open style frame, tapered and angular rectangular pieces cross one another, lending a geometrical touch to this pendant. Within the spacious center, an arrangement of exposed bulbs follow the lines of the panels around them and are supported by squared bases with a contrasting finish that lends a bold touch to this piece. A rounded stem and circular detail at the base of this composition complete this farmhouse style source of illumination.

Named for the twisted cylindrical structure that inspired it, the Mobius Adjustable Pendant No. 18450 by Hubbardton Forge is a beautifully handcrafted addition to your home. With a round canopy and an adjustable stem, this fixture can be placed at just the right height to meet your needs. A hand forged Steel shade is shaped into a soft, calla lily-like conical design and houses a warm light that plays within the shapes and shadows of this piece. Artful and luxurious, this pendant adds a layer of light and style as an individual piece or gathered in a group.
The Seascape Lamps Twist Pendant takes two classic drum shades, layers them, and then surprises by adding angles to the base of each tier. The effect is quite dramatic, especially when choosing different colors and textures for the top shade. The second tier shade is always in white, helping to diffuse the surrounding light in addition to the soft light shining through the frosted base.
Like a smooth elegant take on the atomic structure, the Wood and Iron Pendant from Capital Lighting features a series of concentric rings delicately draped around each other. The frame consists of a wooden ring in which the hanging chain and candelabra-style bulbs hang from, and 3 metal rings, that wrap around and within the wooden piece. The 4 bulbs each rise from a central sphere, shining a relaxing glow throughout the space.
The Mango Wood Ring Pendant by Capital Lighting features chic contemporary design with rustic charisma. Its focal point is a solid wood ring that frames a single incandescent bulb. Metal trim lines the ring, enhancing the fixture’s industrial-chic aesthetic, while the exposed socket and bulb is suspended at its center from a sleek metal stem. Aircraft cables support while giving an edgy, urban look and rounding out this fixture’s minimal and modern appeal.
With its appealing geometric design and functional task lighting, the Conic Mini Pendant by George Kovacs is a formidable addition to any contemporary living space. Its body is made up of opposing cones (available in distinct colors for distinct visual effects) that are divided by a finished Steel band. Due to their shape, light can easily funnel downward with over a surface or area of interest with minimal glare.

Where Wood Pendant Lighting Works Best
The unapologetic look and feel of modern wood pendants make them an ideal choice of fixtures for spaces you wish to light up with illumination and a bright personality. Consider wooden hanging lights in the living room to complement other wood furnishings like coffee tables, end tables or your hardwood floors.

As soon as guests arrive to your home, they will be met with your sense of interior design. Wood pendants are also a go-to choice for commercial locations too. Restaurants, business offices and hotel lobbies can all appreciate the organic aesthetic of wood and veneer ceiling lights, especially when accompanied by other wooden decor.

How to Choose the Best Wood Pendant Fixtures
Begin your search for new pendant lighting by deciding precisely where the lighting will be installed. You'll need to keep an eye out for sizing dimensions like height, diameter and the hanging length from the base of the ceiling. If you're wiring multiple light fixtures together, you may want to opt for mini pendant designs. And while most of the pendants in this assortment feature a naturally finished wood lamp shade, consider refining your choices of hardware and cord finishes to choose colors that will seamlessly blend in with your rooms. Lastly, review the fixture's required light bulb type to be prepared with the right bulb at installation. If you have any questions about the wood pendant lights featured here, please call our lighting experts at 877.445.4486.
Other Considerations
Continue to refresh your home with an organic, wooden approach. Make a robust statement with a wood chandelier. Although similar to this selection of lighting, a chandelier is typically larger and will create more of a noticeable impact to your home's decor. Browse the assortment of rustic pendant lighting for similar designs that can blend in with an industrial theme. And once your ceiling lighting is all picked out, place your fixtures on a light dimmer to control the lighting output and set the mood of the space.
