Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in the PostKrisi pendant?

The PostKrisi pendant combines a metal base structure with a rod finished in either brass or nickel, and a fiberglass shade available in natural or white varnish. The fiberglass is worked by hand to produce the characteristic fringed edge.

What size PostKrisi pendant should I choose for a dining table?

The PK66, with its 60 cm shade, is well proportioned for most dining tables, delivering ample light coverage while preserving visual balance. The PK67, at 80 cm, suits longer tables or spaces with higher ceilings where a stronger formal presence is appropriate.

Is Catellani & Smith lighting handmade?

Yes. Catellani & Smith produces all of its pieces by hand at its atelier in Grassobbio, Italy. Enzo Catellani founded the brand in 1989 with a deliberate commitment to artisanal production, and that approach remains central to every collection.

What type of bulbs does PostKrisi use, and can they be replaced?

PostKrisi uses three E27 LED bulbs at 2700K with a combined output of 2700 lumens and a CRI above 80. E27 is a widely available standard socket, so bulbs can be replaced with compatible LED options when needed.

Can the cable length be adjusted for different ceiling heights?

Yes. The suspension cable on PostKrisi can be cut to the required drop length during installation, allowing the pendant to be positioned at the ideal height regardless of ceiling configuration.
