Faro Side 200 Ceiling Lamp - Black & Copper

The Faro Side 200 is a compact circular ceiling light that turns a simple idea into something quietly sculptural. A rounded metal ring cradles a single opal glass orb, so the light sits like a small bright pearl set into a warm frame. At just 20cm across with a shallow profile, it is one of the neatest fittings in Faro's Side collection and a genuinely versatile choice for smaller ceilings and tighter spaces where a larger fitting would feel heavy.

The black and copper finish

This version pairs a black body with a warm copper ring, a softer and more characterful combination than the brighter black and gold sibling. Copper leans towards red and amber, so it reads as cosy rather than glitzy and works beautifully alongside walnut and oak, terracotta and clay tones, exposed brick and warm neutral paint. The opal glass shade stays a clean, milky white, giving a gentle contrast against the metal that catches the eye without shouting. If you are choosing between finishes in the same range, the copper is the one to reach for when you want warmth and a lived in feel.

How it works

The Side 200 mounts flush to a ceiling, or to a wall if you prefer, and connects to the mains, so it is a hardwired fitting rather than a plug in one. It takes a single replaceable G9 bulb of up to 6W, which is not included, leaving you free to pick the colour temperature and brightness that suit the room. It is not dimmable. The opal glass diffuser wraps the bulb and softens the output into an even, comfortable glow with no harsh glare. Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician.

Where it works best

Because it is small and shallow, this ceiling lamp suits places where space is at a premium: hallways and landings, box rooms and studies, a bedside alcove, a compact utility nook or a snug reading corner. Its low projection makes it a sensible pick for rooms with lower ceilings, and because it can also be wall mounted it works as a soft accent light beside a mirror or along a corridor. Fit two or three in a row down a hallway and the repeated ring and orb motif becomes a feature in its own right.

Design and origin

The Side collection was designed for Faro Barcelona, the Spanish lighting company rooted in Barcelona and known for its considered material choices and industrial design. The brief was a solid, simple structure that lets colour and contrast do the talking, which is exactly what the ring and orb form delivers.
