Gingko Chandelier Style H

Most linear chandeliers — including several other configurations in the Ginkgo Series — are essentially flat: their "Width" (front-to-back depth) is minimal, often only 6-12 inches, so the fixture reads as a thin horizontal ribbon across the ceiling. The Style H is designed with a uniform 25.6-inch Width dimension that distributes ceramic ginkgo leaves on all four sides of the linear frame. This produces a genuine three-dimensional rectangular volume — the fixture reads as sculptural composition from any angle (walking around it, viewing from the side, seeing it from adjacent rooms), not just from below. For formal dining rooms, executive spaces, and hospitality applications where the fixture is meant to hold dimensional architectural presence, this Width is what makes the difference between "chandelier above the table" and "sculpture that happens to illuminate."

Match fixture length to 60-75% of the surface length below. 78.7" — 6-8-seat rectangular dining tables (approximately 8-10 ft), standard kitchen islands (8-10 ft), home bar counters, long consoles. Near-cube-proportion volume works particularly well in more intimate settings. 98.4" — 10-seat rectangular dining, executive conference tables (10-12 ft), boutique hospitality reception, restaurant private-dining. 118.1" — 12-seat formal dining (14-16 ft), banquet-style residential applications, boutique-hotel formal dining rooms, commercial hospitality flagship rooms. Under-sized reads as afterthought; over-sized crowds the wall spaces at both ends of the room.

All three offer linear compositions in the Ginkgo Series; each serves a different visual register. Style K — flat linear (no Width), Model A flat or Model B cascading choice, restrained composition; correct for interiors where the fixture should sit above the surface without demanding independent presence. Style J — dense linear (no Width), widest scale range (47.2" to 372"), oversized flagship configurations available; correct for scale variety, high bulb density, or enterprise-hospitality applications. Style H (this fixture) — real 25.6" Width, three-dimensional rectangular volume; correct for formal dining, executive spaces, and applications where sculptural presence from any angle is the specification. If your interior calls for dimensional sculptural composition rather than flat linear composition, the Style H is the correct specification.

Minimum ceiling requirements by configuration: 78.7" × 25.6" × 25.6" — 9-ft ceilings work for dining rooms with proper tabletop clearance; 10-ft comfortable for kitchen islands. 98.4" × 25.6" × 27.6" — 10-11 ft comfortable. 118.1" × 25.6" × 29.5" — 11-12 ft recommended, with 12-ft-plus offering the fixture visual space to read as intended sculptural composition. For dining tables, add 30-36 inches from tabletop to the fixture's lowest point when calculating clearance. Because the fixture has real 25.6" Width, plan for visual space around the volume — not just clearance directly below.

Yes, at no extra charge. The default is Rose Gold — a warm pink-gold register that pairs particularly well with matte-white porcelain and reads more contemporary than traditional yellow-gold finishes. Alternative finishes: Copper Gold (warmer classical register), Nickel (cool neutral), Chrome (silver-modern), White (monochrome), Gold (traditional yellow), Black (architectural contemporary). Specify at checkout by leaving a note, or write to support@stuberlighting.com within 24 hours of order placement. For hospitality projects with brand-specific colour requirements, custom finishes beyond this list can be discussed.

Yes — strongly recommended for all Style H configurations, particularly the 118.1" flagship where the E12 candelabra bulb count across the rectangular volume produces substantial output. The included LEDs are non-dimmable warm-white. Replace with dimmable G9 LEDs (78.7" and 98.4") or dimmable E12 candelabra LEDs (118.1") — widely available, $10-18 each — and install a triac-compatible wall dimmer. At 40-60% brightness, the ceramic leaves catch light at their most atmospheric register — the dimensional sculptural volume reads as botanical composition rather than as bright task illumination. For dining rooms and hospitality applications, dimmable control is essentially required to enable evening-service and event-mode lighting scenes.

Moderate. The ceramic leaves ship packed separately from the frame — they attach individually at installation, and because the fixture has 25.6" Width with leaves distributed on all four sides of the frame, the leaf count per configuration is substantial (78.7": approximately 130 leaves; 98.4": approximately 180 leaves; 118.1": over 240 leaves). 78.7": 2-3 hours, 1 licensed electrician sufficient. 98.4": 3-4 hours, 1 electrician + 1 assistant recommended for lifting the rectangular volume during installation. 118.1": 4-5 hours, 2-person licensed installation team required, junction-box weight verification and ceiling-load structural check recommended. We can coordinate with your project's contractor for scheduled installations.

The matte-white porcelain is straightforward to maintain but leaf count matters. Dust with a soft dry microfibre cloth or feather duster; every 3-6 months for residential dining rooms, quarterly for kitchen-island installations, quarterly for hospitality applications. Because the fixture has 25.6" Width with leaves distributed on all four sides of the frame, plan for slightly more thorough cleaning time than for flat linear fixtures. For accumulated residue, a lightly-damp cloth (water only) restores the finish; never use ammonia, glass cleaner, or abrasive sponges. The Rose Gold frame wipes with a dry microfibre cloth — avoid brass polish or metal cleaner (which strip the protective sealing). For the 118.1" configuration, plan for 60-90 minutes of thorough cleaning per session because of leaf count and dimensional access.

Yes — the Style H is one of our specified fixtures for boutique-hospitality interior projects. Trade pricing available; matched-batch porcelain coordination for multi-room installations (formal dining + boardroom + reception across the same property); custom frame finishes; extended wire lengths at no extra charge. Production lead times run 4-6 weeks; multi-fixture orders and 118.1" flagship configurations may extend proportionally depending on ceramic kiln capacity.
