Dar Akavia Easy-Fit Pendant Shade

The Dar Akavia Easy-Fit Pendant Shade is a velvet drum pendant from Dar, designed to introduce a tactile, jewel-toned accent to domestic and hospitality interiors. The shade's rich green or soft grey appearance and classic cylindrical form give an immediate sense of warmth and considered finish.

The Akavia takes a restrained drum silhouette with a rigid internal circular frame. It is offered in two finishes: Green and Grey, each with a matching self‑coloured cotton lining to ensure a consistent appearance from all vantage points.

Construction is straightforward and honest: a plush velvet exterior backed by a cotton lining and supported by an internal frame. The shade is shown suspended from a thin electrical cord and retains a neat, tailored profile when installed.

The opaque velvet body directs light through the open top and bottom of the cylinder, producing controlled uplight and downlight while shielding direct glare from the bulb. This makes the shade suitable where a decorative ambient pendant is required rather than task lighting.

The Akavia is an easy‑fit shade intended for straightforward installation onto standard ceiling lamp holders. Warranty cover is two years as standard, extendable to five years with online registration. Check your existing ceiling fitting and bulb specification for compatibility when installing.
