Tala
Low-energy lighting designed and engineered in London
Tala was founded in 2015 by three Edinburgh University friends. Its London team designs and engineers its LED lighting in-house, in aluminium and brass rather than plastic, and builds it to be durable and repairable.

Basalt Single Pendant
Cast like a column of cooling lava — a single stem of hexagonal light in Brass or Stainless Steel.
Designed to mimic the natural processes that inspired it, Basalt tells the story of its making through the exposed sand-cast and lost-wax-cast finishes on its vertical hexagonal panels — polished horizontal ends and an exposed Tala logo mark where the molten metal entered the form. Tala is a London lighting company and a certified B Corporation — every design is engineered in-house around long-life, low-energy LEDs. See the rest of the range in our Tala collection.

Common Questions
Is the bulb included?
Yes — it ships as a complete set with the Tala LED bulb the fixture was designed around, threading into a standard E26 socket so future replacements are easy.
Is it hardwired?
Yes — it installs to a ceiling junction box like any hardwired pendant, and the cord length can be adjusted at the canopy during installation to suit your ceiling height.
Why does the light look so warm?
Tala LEDs run at CRI 95+ with warm color temperatures — many with Dim to Warm, which drifts toward candlelight as you dim — so skin tones and materials read the way they do at golden hour.
