VKP4-26521-01
- In stock, ready to ship
A sliced travertine globe pendant — a ⌀5.1″ sphere of natural travertine cut on a diagonal and offset, so light escapes through the open seam between the two halves. The porous stone glows warmly along the gap on a black drop cord. G9 base, bulb included. For dining tables, kitchen islands, bedsides, and entryways.
Sliced offset globe
A travertine sphere cut on a diagonal and shifted, so light glows out through the open seam between the halves.
Natural travertine
Hand-carved stone with open pores and color banding — every globe reads slightly differently.

One replaceable G9 bulb inside the globe. AC 110–240V universal.
About natural travertine
Each globe is hand-cut from natural travertine. Open pores, surface pitting, and color banding vary piece to piece — these are core characteristics of the stone, not defects or damage. No two globes are identical, and the seam profile varies slightly between pieces.

- Hardwired ceiling install — a licensed electrician is recommended.
- The drop cord shortens on-site; over a table or island, hang the globe so its base sits 30–36″ above the surface.
- The G9 bulb is included and replaceable inside the globe; a 2700K warm-white G9 LED gives the warmest glow through the seam.
- Dimmable with a compatible dimmable G9 bulb and a wall dimmer (not included).
- Travertine is a porous natural stone — open pores, surface pitting, and color banding are core characteristics of the material, not flaws or damage. The diagonal seam profile also varies slightly between pieces.
- Indoor dry locations only (IP20). Keep clear of direct water — travertine is porous and absorbs moisture.
How does the light come out of a solid stone globe?
The globe is cut on a diagonal into two halves and the lower half is offset, leaving an open seam between them. The G9 bulb sits inside, so light escapes through the gap and grazes the cut stone edges — a soft warm glow along the seam rather than a bright open shade. The porous travertine also lets a faint warmth show through the thinner areas.
The travertine has holes and pits — is that a defect?
No — those are natural to travertine. Open pores, surface pitting, and color banding are core characteristics of the stone, not flaws or shipping damage. Each globe is hand-cut, so no two are exactly alike, and the diagonal seam profile varies slightly between pieces — that variation is the point of a natural-stone fixture.
What bulb does it use, is it included, and is it dimmable?
One G9 bulb, included. A 2700K warm-white G9 LED gives the warmest glow through the seam. Dimmable when paired with a dimmable G9 bulb and a compatible wall dimmer (sold separately).
How high should I hang it over a table?
Hang the globe so its base sits 30–36″ above the table or island surface, which keeps the seam glow at a comfortable eye level. The drop cord shortens on-site; for stairwells or high ceilings it can be ordered longer. Email us your ceiling height if you'd like a custom drop.
Can I install it in a bathroom, and what's the warranty?
Only away from water — it's rated IP20 for indoor dry locations, so keep it clear of shower or tub spray. Travertine is porous and absorbs moisture. 2-year warranty on the fixture and wiring; G9 bulbs are standard replaceable parts. Email support replies within one business day at hello@vakkerlight.com.
Sizing & questions
Every piece is made to order in our own atelier — here is what most clients ask before choosing theirs.
What size is this pendant, and will it work over my dining table?+
The globe measures ∅5.1″ diameter. Hang it 30–36″ above your table surface. The adjustable drop cord shortens on-site, so it fits most ceiling heights. Ideal for tables up to 48″ wide.
How does light come out of a solid stone globe?+
The travertine sphere is cut diagonally into two halves, then the lower half is offset, leaving an open seam. The G9 bulb inside casts warm light through the gap and grazes the cut edges. Faint glow also shows through porous areas.
What bulb does it use, is it included, and can I dim it?+
One G9 bulb, included in 2700K warm-white. Dimmable when paired with a dimmable G9 bulb and a compatible wall dimmer (sold separately). LED recommended for warmest seam glow.
The travertine has holes and pits — is that damage?+
No. Open pores, surface pitting, and color banding are natural to travertine, not defects. Each globe is hand-cut, so seam profiles and stone character vary slightly — that's the essence of the piece.
How do I clean the travertine?+
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Travertine is porous and absorbs moisture, so avoid water and harsh cleaners. Keep the globe in dry indoor locations away from direct water exposure.
