Name: Quintiesse Axel QN-AXEL7-BK semi-flush, 7 × E27 max 60 W, black / heritage brass, 144 cm wide
Brand: Quintiesse

Axel is a semi-flush fitting with seven articulating arms, spanning up to 144 cm across at only 31.8 cm high. The structure fixes to the ceiling at three points rather than a single rose — hence a span a single mount could not carry, and arms that stay put once set. Seven arms you can position Each arm is articulated, so the direction and height of the shades are chosen after installation. That changes the character of the fitting: instead of one rigid mass you get an arrangement that can be spread symmetrically over a table or concentrated over one part of the room. Clear glass shades leave the bulb visible, so choosing it is part of the design — a decorative filament reads quite differently from an opal globe here. Low profile At 318 mm high, Axel is a close-to-ceiling fitting rather than a pendant. It suits places where a hanging lamp would be unacceptable — a room of standard height, a circulation route, a dining room under a low ceiling. The 808 mm depth does mean the fitting occupies a real area of ceiling, not just a line: worth checking on the plan before ordering. Bulbs — bought separately The maker does not include lamps. The fitting takes seven E27 sources of up to 60 W each. The maker states the fitting is dimmer-compatible — on condition that dimmable lamps are used with a dimmer matched to their type. With seven points it is worth adding up the flux: seven 806 lm sources (the 60 W equivalent) give over 5600 lm, that is general lighting for a sizeable room.

Ten kilograms spread over three points is about 3.4 kg per point, but fixing should still be left to an electrician, who will match the anchors to the ceiling construction.
