Mantra Calice 48cm Rise And Fall Pendant 16W LED - Coffee & White

A Warm Note Above the Table

The Calice pendant tips its wide, angular shade in a soft coffee tone, catching the eye without shouting for attention. It has the kind of quiet, sculptural presence that works whether the room around it is minimal or filled with pattern and colour.

Choosing Your Finish

This particular Calice pairs a coffee coloured exterior with a white interior, so the shade reads as a warm, muted tone from across the room while the underside stays bright and reflective to spread the light evenly. If coffee is not the tone your room calls for, the Calice shade is also available in white and in a black and white combination elsewhere in the range, all built on the same rise and fall frame.

How It Works

A single 16W integrated LED sits inside the narrow stem above the shade, throwing light down and outward at a 120 degree angle for a broad, even pool of illumination. The bulb produces around 1200 lumens of warm 3000K white light, close to the glow of a traditional filament lamp, with a CRI of 80 for reasonably accurate colour rendering. The fitting is not compatible with dimmer switches, so brightness stays constant once it is switched on. The rise and fall mechanism lets you slide the shade up or down the cable by hand, from a minimum drop of 45cm to a maximum of 200cm, so the height can be set to suit the ceiling and the table beneath it.

Where It Works Best

At 48cm across, this is the larger of the two Calice sizes, with enough spread to sit centrally over a six or eight seat dining table or a generous kitchen island without looking undersized. The coffee and white combination tends to suit warmer, more tactile interiors, think timber tables, linen and stone, though it works equally well as a single striking piece in a hallway or living room. Because the drop is adjustable, the same fitting can also be pulled higher for use in a bedroom or over a lower console table.

Made By Mantra

Mantra was founded in Valencia in 2000 with a straightforward idea: lighting that looked genuinely designed, not mass produced, but that ordinary households could still afford. That approach has carried the brand from its original Spanish base into markets across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and more than 25 years of continuous trading is a fair indicator that the business has staying power rather than being a recent online arrival. Mantra keeps an internal design team alongside collaborations with named independent designers, and pieces like the Calice reflect that ongoing investment in shapes that stand apart from generic catalogue fittings, even if the brand itself sits closer to accessible design than to the very top end of the market.

Questions People Ask

Can I use this pendant with a dimmer switch?
No. The integrated LED driver in this Calice pendant is not designed to work with dimmer switches, so it should be wired to a standard on and off circuit.

How far can the pendant be adjusted up or down?
The rise and fall mechanism allows the shade to sit anywhere between a 45cm minimum drop and a 200cm maximum drop, which is normally enough to suit most ceiling heights.

Does the bulb need to be replaced separately?
No. The LED is integrated into the fitting itself rather than using a separate replaceable bulb.
