Gingko Chandelier Style K

Rule of thumb: the fixture length should be roughly 60-75% of the surface length below it. 78.7" fixture — 10-ft dining tables (8-seat rectangular), standard 10-ft kitchen islands, home bar counters, long entry consoles. 98.4" fixture — 12-ft dining tables (10-seat), 12-ft kitchen islands, restaurant private-dining rooms, executive conference tables. 118.1" fixture — 14-16-ft banquet-scale dining, commercial bar counters, hotel-lobby applications, corporate boardroom tables. Under-sized reads as afterthought; over-sized crowds the wall spaces at both ends of the room.

The choice follows ceiling height and the visual register you want. Model A (flat, uniform 23.6" H) — for 8-10-ft ceilings, kitchen islands where the fixture sits above cooking headspace, home bar counters, restrained-composition dining rooms, and any interior where the horizontal linear read is enough of a statement on its own. Model B (cascading, 31.5"-47.2" drop) — for 10-ft-plus ceilings, statement dining rooms, formal banquet spaces, hospitality flagship rooms, and interiors where the fixture is meant to be the room's design conversation with dimensional sculptural presence. When in doubt: Model A is safer; Model B is more memorable.

All three offer horizontal linear compositions across the Ginkgo Series; each serves a different scale register. Style L Model A (Linear Rectangular) — vertical-drop linear (L 31.5"-39.3" × H 78"-98.4"); reads as vertical composition with rectangular frame. Style K (this fixture) — long-horizontal linear (L 78.7"-118.1"); reads as spread-out composition following the surface below. Style M Model C (Linear Horizontal) — the largest scale of horizontal linear (L 78.7"-118.1" × extra leaf density); reads as architectural composition for hospitality flagship applications. If your surface is 8-14 ft long and residential, Style K is the specification. If your application is banquet-scale hospitality with high ceiling clearance, Style M Model C is the flagship option. Style L is for shorter linear applications (5-10 ft surfaces) with vertical drop preference.

Minimum ceiling requirements: Model A (23.6" fixture height) — 8-ft ceilings work for kitchen islands and bars where headroom is above head-level; 9-ft for dining rooms where clearance above the tabletop is needed. Model B 78.7" × 31.5" — 9-10 ft. Model B 98.4" × 39.4" — 10-11 ft. Model B 118.1" × 47.2" — 12-ft-plus recommended. For dining tables, add 30-36 inches from tabletop to the fixture's lowest point when calculating clearance. If your ceiling is 8 ft or lower, Model A is the correct specification; Model B requires 10-ft-plus to avoid crowding the room's active headspace.

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 K configurations, particularly the 16 and 18-bulb variants where full-brightness output can exceed what most residential rooms want. The included G9 LEDs are non-dimmable warm-white. Replace with dimmable G9 LEDs (widely available, $10-18 each) and install a triac-compatible wall dimmer. At 40-60% brightness, the porcelain leaves catch light at their most atmospheric register — the fixture reads as botanical horizontal 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.

Moderate to substantial. The ceramic leaves ship packed separately from the frame — they attach individually at installation. 78.7" configurations — 90-120 minutes total, one licensed electrician sufficient. 98.4" configurations — 2-3 hours, 1 licensed electrician + 1 assistant recommended for lifting and levelling. 118.1" configurations — 3-4 hours, 2-person installation required, junction-box weight verification and ceiling-load structural check strongly recommended. Extended fixtures at 9.8 ft length require careful frame handling during installation to prevent visual sag; 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, monthly for kitchen-island installations (where cooking residue accumulates faster), quarterly for hospitality applications with regular event use. 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" configurations, plan for 45-90 minutes of thorough cleaning per session because of leaf count.

Yes — the Style K is one of our most-specified linear fixtures for restaurant, boutique-hotel, and commercial-scale interior projects. Trade pricing available; matched-batch porcelain coordination for multi-room installations; custom frame finishes; extended wire lengths at no extra charge. Please note that production lead times run 4-6 weeks; multi-fixture orders and 118.1" configurations may extend proportionally depending on ceramic kiln capacity.
