Glass Globe Opal 400 Schwung – Opal glass globe pendant Ø 40 cm – GLOBES Collection
The Glass Globe Opal 400 by Schwung explores the purity of the sphere on a generous Ø 400 mm scale. Part of the GLOBES concept, it combines a triplex soda-lime opal glass globe with a slender metal structure. Instead of a conventional visible suspension cable, the pendant uses a rigid adjustable stem, creating a particularly clean architectural silhouette while allowing its overall height to be adapted to the interior.
A Ø 400 mm opal globe with a generous luminous presence
The defining feature of the Glass Globe Opal 400 is its large Ø 400 mm sphere made from triplex soda-lime opal glass. The white opal surface surrounds the light source and softens its glow, creating a pleasant diffused lighting effect.
Its generous proportions make this version particularly suitable above a dining table, in a living room, entrance or interior with a higher ceiling. Despite its larger scale, the simple spherical geometry gives the pendant a timeless quality that works across a wide range of interiors.
How can the height of the Glass Globe Opal 400 be adjusted?
The Glass Globe Opal 400 does not use a visible suspension cable. Instead, a rigid metal stem connects the globe to the ceiling canopy, reinforcing the clean vertical geometry of the design.
Extension rods measuring 150, 300 and 450 mm are included to adapt the drop to the space. Depending on the configuration, the overall height can range from approximately 849 to 1951 mm. The discreet ceiling canopy measures Ø 140 mm and only 12 mm high.
Which light source should be used with the Glass Globe Opal 400?
The pendant features an E27 socket and is designed for an LED light source. The specified configuration uses an 8W LED producing approximately 600 lumens with a 3000K colour temperature.
Light intensity can be adjusted when using a compatible light source with an electronic ELV trailing-edge dimmer. Operating at 220-240V and rated IP20, the Glass Globe Opal 400 is intended exclusively for indoor use.
Which Glass Globe Opal sizes are available?
The Glass Globe Opal family is available in five globe diameters. This Glass Globe Opal 400 features a Ø 400 mm sphere, alongside the Glass Globe Opal 200 at Ø 200 mm, the 300 at Ø 300 mm, the 500 at Ø 500 mm and the 600 at Ø 600 mm.
These different sizes make it possible to select proportions suited to each interior or to combine several diameters in a composition of luminous spheres. The Glass Globe Opal 400 weighs 4.8 kg.
Which finishes are available for the Glass Globe Opal 400?
The metal structure is available in Lacquered Burnished Brass (LBB), Black Gunmetal (BGM), Polished Nickel (PN), Classic Bronze and Heritage Bronze. Each finish creates a different relationship with the white opal globe while preserving the clean, timeless character of the GLOBES collection.
