Mantra Nora 5 Light Adjustable Round Pendant - Gold, White & Clear Glass With Frosted Inner

Five Shades Spiralling Down From One Point

Where the linear Nora gathers its lights along a bar, this round version lets five glass shades cascade from a single ceiling point at staggered heights, creating a spiral effect that reads as a genuine centrepiece rather than a row of downlights.

Choosing This Finish

This listing pairs a gold metal frame with a white marble effect cap on each shade and clear glass with a frosted inner cylinder. The same Nora collection includes a linear three light version finished in white and natural wood, so if you prefer a calmer material palette to gold and marble effect detailing, that alternative sits within the same family rather than being a different design.

How It Works

Five E27 bulbs, each rated up to 20W in GLS A60 or tubular T45 shapes, sit inside the glass shades, with bulbs not included so the finished brightness and colour temperature are down to whichever bulbs you fit. The five cords run from a single round ceiling plate and stagger to different lengths to create the spiral hang, with a maximum drop of 180cm overall giving room to adjust for stairwells and double height spaces.

Where It Works Best

The staggered five light spread suits spaces where you look up at the fitting as much as you look across a room, which is why Mantra positions it for dining rooms, hallways and stairs rather than a low ceiling bedroom. Over a stairwell in particular, the different shade heights read well from multiple floors at once, something a single flat pendant cannot do.

Made By Mantra

Mantra's growth from a Valencia based lighting company in 2000 into a brand sold across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia has been built on collections like Nora that mix real materials, in this case marble effect ceramic and gold finished metal, into what is otherwise a fairly standard glass pendant shape. It is a similar instinct to Santiago Sevillano's 2012 ORA collection, which used sculptural form to lift a functional light fitting into something closer to a decorative object, and it is that pairing of design ambition with everyday usability that Mantra leans on rather than claiming to rival the very top end of architectural lighting.

Questions People Ask

Can I hang the five shades at the same height instead of staggered?
The cords are designed to stagger for the spiral effect shown in the photos, and while there is some room to adjust individual cord lengths, levelling all five to exactly the same height is not what the fitting is designed for.

How much space does it need on the ceiling?
The five shades spread across roughly 63.3cm, so allow enough ceiling and headroom clearance around that spread, particularly over a stairwell.

Do I need to supply my own bulbs?
Yes, it takes five E27 bulbs rated up to 20W each, which are not included, so you can pick the brightness and colour temperature you want.
