Common Questions
Answered by the Nora Furnish team
About this piece
What bulb does it take?
It uses a standard E27 bulb, which is not included. Because the weave is open, the bulb shows through it, so a warm bulb suits it better than a bright, cool one.
Where should I hang it?
Hang it where the ceiling is visible, over a dining corner, a reading nook or a cabin style room, since the open rope throws patterned light across the ceiling as well as down.
How big is the shade?
The drum shade is about 11.8 inches across, woven in hemp rope over a metal frame. The weave texture varies slightly from piece to piece, so each shade is a little different.
Is this hard to put up on my own?
It wires into a ceiling point rather than plugging in, so turn the power off at the breaker before starting. If there is no supply at the spot already, an electrician can run one in for you.
Shipping, returns and help
Is shipping free?
Yes. Standard shipping is free on every order delivered within the United States, with no minimum purchase.
What is your return policy?
You can request a return within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in their original condition and in the original packaging. Email info@norafurnish.com before sending anything back.
What if it arrives damaged or faulty?
We send a replacement at no charge, and the return costs you nothing. Email your order number and a photo of the problem to info@norafurnish.com.
When will I receive my refund?
Once your return arrives and is approved, the refund usually shows on your original payment method within 5 to 7 business days.
Is there a discount when I buy more than one item?
Yes. Add 2 items to your cart and you save 10%, add 3 or more and you save 15%. It applies automatically, no code needed, and cannot be combined with other discount codes.
Do I need an electrician?
Hardwired fixtures such as chandeliers, pendants, flush mounts and wall sconces connect to your home wiring, so we recommend a licensed electrician for those. Plug in, battery, solar and rechargeable lights need no wiring.
Can I order it in another size or finish?
Every size and finish available is listed in the options above. For help finding the closest match in the catalog, email info@norafurnish.com.
How do I reach you?
Email info@norafurnish.com. The team works Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (CST), and replies within 1 to 2 business days.

The idea
A low ceiling deserves the same care as a high one.
Close-to-ceiling light is the light you live under every day. It should be soft, even and beautiful when you look up.
The Nora Furnish design studio
- Hemp rope wrapped over a metal frame
- Drum shade 11.8 inches across
- Open weave casts patterned light
The diagnosis
Why most ceiling lights
flatten a room.
Three reasons close-to-ceiling light is usually an afterthought.
The builder's light.
The fixture most homes start with is chosen for price, not for how a room looks beneath it.
Low ceilings, harsh light.
Close to the ceiling, a bright bare source glares; the light needs to be soft and even.
A ceiling you never look at.
The light you live under every day should be beautiful when you look up, not something you stop seeing.
The Fathom was chosen to answer all three.
See how it answers themThe solution
How the Fathom
changes the room.
Your choice of bulb
Takes standard screw-in bulbs, sold separately, so you choose the warmth and brightness.
Beautiful when you look up

Customer Reviews
QWhat bulb does it take?
NORA FURNISH
It uses a standard E27 bulb, which is not included. Because the weave is open, the bulb shows through it, so a warm bulb suits it better than a bright, cool one.
QWhere should I hang it?
NORA FURNISH
Hang it where the ceiling is visible, over a dining corner, a reading nook or a cabin style room, since the open rope throws patterned light across the ceiling as well as down.
QHow big is the shade?
NORA FURNISH
The drum shade is about 11.8 inches across, woven in hemp rope over a metal frame. The weave texture varies slightly from piece to piece, so each shade is a little different.
QWhat is it made of?
NORA FURNISH
It is woven hemp rope over a metal frame, wrapped tightly by hand. The weave texture varies slightly from piece to piece, so each shade is a little different.
QIs the bulb included?
NORA FURNISH
No. It takes a standard E27 bulb, which is not included. Because the weave is open, a warm bulb suits it better than a bright, cool one.
QWill it suit a large room?
NORA FURNISH
It is about 11.8 inches across, which suits a dining corner, a hallway or a reading nook rather than a large open room, where a bigger fixture would work better.
QWhy does the ceiling matter?
NORA FURNISH
The open rope throws patterned light across the ceiling as well as down, so hanging it where the ceiling is visible is what makes the effect worth having.
QDoes it work on a porch?
NORA FURNISH
No. Natural rope should not sit in damp conditions and no weather rating is listed, so keep it indoors. Its rustic character suits a cabin style room or a dining corner.
QWho should install it?
NORA FURNISH
It wires into a ceiling point rather than plugging in, so turn the power off at the breaker and have an electrician run a supply if there is nothing there already.
QWill the color change over time?
NORA FURNISH
Natural rope can lighten a little in strong sunlight, so a spot out of direct sun keeps the tone even across the shade over the years.
