Briareos - Suspended Multi-Arm Ceiling Light
- Light from several points, not one
- Brass hardware, down to the screws
- Black or white, shades to match
Briareos is engineering that never stopped looking like sculpture.
It is built from metal and aluminum with brass hardware, down to the six-sided screws it is known for. Each head carries its own E26 socket, so the light comes from several points instead of one — that is what keeps a long table lit end to end. The bulbs are your choice: an LED for even, efficient light, or a warm Edison filament at 2200–2700K for the look it was drawn for. Body and shades come in the same finish, black or white, and either way it holds its line against a plain ceiling.
There are two configurations. The three-head is the one for a kitchen island, a hallway, or a dining table that seats four — presence without taking the whole ceiling. The six-head is for a long dining table or an open-plan room where the ceiling runs on and needs something to anchor it. Black recedes into a dark ceiling and stands out against a pale one; white does the reverse. Settle the fixing before the six-head goes up — it is the heavier of the two and wants a ceiling that can take it.

Sculpture that earns its ceiling
Metal and aluminum with brass hardware, down to the six sided screws the 1958 original was known for. It holds its line against a plain ceiling.
Keeps a long table lit
Each head carries its own bulb, so the light comes from several points instead of one and reaches the table end to end.
Two reaches, one line
The three head covers an island, a hallway or a table that seats four. The six head anchors a long dining table or an open plan room.
