22.5" Khaki Natural Rattan Antibes Small Chandelier

Coastal homeowners shopping for artisan lighting that authentically captures seaside living without sacrificing contemporary sophistication face a challenge -- most rattan chandeliers either look mass-produced or overly rustic for modern interiors. The Currey & Company Antibes Small Chandelier is a 22.5-inch handwoven khaki rattan orb chandelier designed for coastal dining rooms and bedrooms, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping to the continental US. This fixture represents the intersection of traditional Filipino weaving techniques and contemporary American lighting design, offering the organic warmth that defines relaxed luxury coastal style.

Painstakingly woven by artisans using centuries-old techniques, the Antibes Small Chandelier marries artistry with high-quality construction. Natural rattan forms the spherical body of this geometric chandelier, supported by a wrought iron frame finished in khaki that disappears into the natural fiber. The result is a lighting fixture that reads as pure organic material while delivering the structural integrity required for ceiling installation. At 22.5 inches in diameter, this chandelier occupies the sweet spot for medium-scale rooms -- large enough to make a design statement, compact enough to work in spaces with standard 8-foot ceilings.

What Is an Orb Chandelier?

An orb chandelier features a spherical or globe-like frame that houses multiple light sources within its curved structure. Also known as sphere chandeliers or globe chandeliers, these fixtures create 360-degree light distribution while serving as sculptural focal points. Orb chandeliers work particularly well in coastal and organic modern interiors where the rounded form echoes natural elements like sea glass, driftwood, and woven baskets. Best for dining rooms, bedrooms, and entryways where vertical space allows the sphere to be appreciated from multiple angles.

What Does the 22.5" Khaki Natural Rattan Antibes Small Chandelier Include?

1. 22.5-Inch Handwoven Rattan Orb -- Each sphere is individually woven by Filipino artisans using traditional basket-making techniques passed down through generations. The open weave pattern creates dramatic shadow play on walls and ceilings while the natural fiber adds organic warmth that manufactured materials cannot replicate.
2. Khaki-Finished Wrought Iron Frame -- The supporting metal structure is powder-coated in a khaki finish that blends seamlessly with the natural rattan, creating the illusion of a purely organic fixture. This finish choice demonstrates Currey & Company's attention to material harmony in mixed-media designs.
3. Three-Light Configuration -- Multiple light sources distributed within the orb create even illumination without harsh shadows. The E12 candelabra sockets accommodate a variety of bulb styles, from Edison vintage to LED globe bulbs that complement the spherical form.
4. Adjustable Chain and Rod System -- Ships with hardware for hanging heights from 26.5 to 94.5 inches, accommodating everything from standard dining room tables to double-height foyers. Additional chain and rod components are available for purchase if your space requires an even longer drop.
5. Dimmable Compatibility -- Works with standard dimmer switches when paired with dimmable bulbs, allowing you to transition from bright task lighting during meals to soft ambient glow for evening entertaining.
6. Indoor-Rated Construction -- Suitable for all interior applications including bathrooms and covered porches, though the natural rattan performs best in climate-controlled environments away from direct moisture.
7. Professional Installation Required -- Chandelier installation requires a licensed electrician for safe ceiling mounting and proper electrical connection. All wiring should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local codes.

What Size Orb Chandelier Do You Need for Your Room?

The most reliable formula: add your room's length and width in feet, then convert to inches for your chandelier diameter. A 12x14 dining room equals a 26-inch chandelier minimum. At 22.5 inches in diameter, the Antibes Small Chandelier suits rooms 20 feet wide or larger, making it ideal for medium-scale dining rooms, master bedrooms, and breakfast nooks.

Hang the bottom of the chandelier 30-34 inches above the tabletop for an 8-foot ceiling. Add 3 inches for every additional foot of ceiling height. At 10-foot ceilings, hang 36-40 inches above the table. With its 20-inch fixture height plus adjustable chain system, this chandelier requires a minimum 9-foot ceiling for proper clearance over a dining table.

In any room where people walk beneath the fixture, the bottom of the chandelier should hang no lower than 7 feet from the floor. In entryways and bedrooms, extend this to 8 feet if possible for a grand, unobstructed feel. At 22.5 inches in diameter, this orb chandelier suits dining tables up to 32 inches long and rooms with ceilings 9 feet or taller.

How Do You Style a Coastal Rattan Chandelier in a Dining Room?

Let the Antibes chandelier's natural materials guide your dining room palette toward coastal contemporary rather than traditional nautical. Pair with a live-edge dining table in weathered oak or reclaimed teak to echo the artisan craftsmanship. Dining chairs in linen upholstery or rush seats reinforce the natural fiber story without creating material competition.

The khaki finish reads as warm neutral, allowing flexibility with wall colors from soft whites to sage greens to coastal blues. Layer in additional rattan through console styling, placemats, or window treatments to create a curated collected-over-time feeling. A jute or sisal area rug beneath the dining table grounds the space while maintaining the organic material story.

For B2C homeowners, let the chandelier set the room's texture tone -- then repeat natural materials once or twice in art frames, serving pieces, or accent furniture for visual cohesion. For B2B designers, this fixture works particularly well in coastal vacation rentals where the handwoven detail photographs beautifully and reinforces the "authentic local craftsmanship" narrative that drives bookings and positive reviews.

Ideal for homeowners furnishing a coastal dining room who want artisan lighting that feels collected rather than decorator-purchased. Interior designers specifying coastal contemporary projects will find the Antibes collection's designer pedigree and trade pricing attractive for both residential and hospitality applications. Well-suited for boutique hotels and vacation rental properties seeking authentic coastal character that photographs well and creates memorable guest experiences.
