Visual Comfort Darlana Medium Hanging Lantern

Visual Comfort Darlana Medium Hanging Lantern is a medium-sized hanging lantern from the Darlana range, designed by Chapman & Myers for considered interior lighting. The lantern’s bronze metal frame and clear glass panels reference a contemporary interpretation of a traditional gas-lantern silhouette and suit bedrooms, living rooms and other interior spaces.

The design reads as architectural and restrained: a tapered rectangular frame topped by a shallow four-sided pyramidal roof, clear glass on all sides and a crisp, minimalist profile. The fixture is suspended from a circular ceiling canopy by a metal chain, allowing adjustable drop to suit different ceiling heights.

Construction is metal with a dark bronze finish and inset clear glass panels that expose the internal candelabra cluster. The visible joinery and plain, hand-finished metalwork emphasise a crafted, bespoke appearance consistent with the Darlana collection.

Light is delivered from a central vertical stem supporting a four-light candelabra cluster with candle-like sleeves and flame-tip lamps. The transparent glass allows light to transmit and reflect upward as well as outward, making this lantern effective for ambient illumination where clear, balanced light is desired.

Practical notes: the fitting includes a chain suspension and ceiling canopy as shown; lamps are not listed as included. The lantern is rated IP20 and therefore intended for interior use or for protected, non-exposed locations only. A one-year manufacturer warranty is supplied.
