Mantra Gin 22cm Pendant 1 Light GU10 - Black

A Single Point of Light, Cast in Black

The Gin pendant strips a ceiling light back to its essentials, a slim black cylinder holding a single GU10 socket, sitting above a wide, shallow drum shade. It is a quiet, confident shape that reads as considered rather than trying too hard.

Choosing Your Finish

This listing is the black version of the Gin pendant. Mantra also makes the same silhouette in gold and rose gold, so if you already have brassware or ironmongery elsewhere in the room, it is worth checking the other two finishes before you commit, since the frame, socket housing and shade rim all change colour together rather than mixing and matching.

How It Works

Gin takes a single GU10 bulb rated up to 12W, which is not supplied so you can choose your own colour temperature and beam angle. The fixture is dimmable, provided you fit a dimmable GU10 lamp and pair it with a compatible dimmer switch, as the pendant itself does not include either. The cord allows the drop to be set anywhere between 21.5cm and 150cm, and the shade measures 22cm across. It is wired to Class I and rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms.

Where It Works Best

At 22cm wide, Gin is sized for grouping rather than standing alone as a single dramatic centrepiece, three or five hung in a row above a kitchen island or breakfast bar reads as considered rather than sparse. It also works as a single drop beside a bed or reading chair where a wide, even wash of light from a low shade is more useful than a narrow spotlight. Mantra suggests it for bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, living rooms and kitchens.

Made By Mantra

Mantra has been trading since 2000, when it launched in Valencia with the goal of putting designer looking lighting within reach of buyers who were not shopping at premium prices. That model has since carried the brand into distribution across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, a track record that separates it from a lighting label invented for a single marketplace listing. The company works with both an internal design team and named independent designers, including Jose Ignacio Ballester, who joined in 2007, part of why fittings like Gin have a distinct silhouette rather than a generic catalogue profile.
