Ray 17" Pendant

View Details
$799

As part of our Benchmade line, Ray gets its name and inspiration from the playful yet sophisticated spirit present in all of Ray Eames's work. This iconic fixture puts a modern twist on a classic mid-century design. Its streamlined silhouette and joyful color palette—each one is painted on our factory’s fourth floor—lend itself well to an array of interiors. Each fixture is paired with a glass diffuser to gently filter light while a custom lever makes changing out the lightbulbs easy and effortless.

  • Designed, finished, and assembled in our Portland, Oregon factory

  • Glass diffuser filters light

  • Inspired by the playful style of Ray Eames

Before a Benchmade light can illuminate your home, each piece is meticulously designed and constructed in our Portland, Oregon, factory. Our manufacturing team prepares each fixture by scuffing, sandblasting, or buffing the metal parts before giving them a wash of lacquer, powder coating, or paint in one of our exclusive colors. Finally, each light is assembled by hand and tested for quality before being carefully packaged and delivered to your door.

I’m a huge fan of adding furniture into your working spaces like the kitchen. An antique dresser or hutch can break up all the uniform cabinetry while still providing storage. While shiny & new is nice, it can often feel like it’s lacking some warmth or character. Antiques are a great way to balance all that newness in a renovation (in my opinion 💭) Perfectly captured by tamara_flanagan_photo Designed & styled by me Build by farrington.building

When normanaskins added a dormer to the upstairs lounge of the #BuckheadBeauty, it dramatically brightened the area and made it more usable for the homeowners. Punchy window treatments plus a schoolhouse light fixture, and this little nook is ready to shine. #bradfordlowryinteriors #bradfordlowrydesign #atlanta #atlantainteriordesigner #atl #buckhead #designinspo #normanaskins #nook

Thank you all for the kind messages in my last post about our boys’ lead exposure. If you’ve been following along for a while, you will know that even though we made our downstairs safe before Winnie was born, the upstairs bedrooms still had lead on the original wood flooring.⁣ ⁣ Although they sleep with us (and we have no plans on changing that anytime soon), for years I’ve dreamt of creating their future bedroom. A place we can all snuggle and play, and most importantly, feel safe. Now that it’s finished, I can confidently say that it is my favorite room in the house. Between the soft yellow paint and all the little things that capture my boys’ interests, it really feels like home. ⁣ ⁣ As far as safety, we replaced all the lead baseboards and put down hickory over the original pine floorboards (some people will gasp that we did that, but safety is way more important than retaining the originality of our home - I did choose to lay the flooring on top instead so they are still a part of the home). The window sills and trim are original so we encapsulated them in paint specifically for lead. ⁣ ⁣ As for the mattress, we went with the best of the best - savvyrest’s organic latex serenity mattress. The beautiful organic quilt toddler blanket is made by _willaby_. ⁣ Paint color - benjaminmoore’s golden straw + linen white trim ⁣ Artwork - lorepemberton Flying geese - mo_no_crom Lights - schoolhouse Tent light - brightcornershop Bed frame - kalonstudios Book shelf made by our Grampy ❤️

Kitchen Sink Light
Love my special Ray kitchen sink light. It compliments the harvest gold tile work and age of the property. Beautiful fixture!

Finishing touch
I waited for years before purchasing the right pendant for my dining area. When I seen the Ray Pendant in white, my search was over. It fits just right with my mid-century dining table and the quality is great.

Easy install, looks great.
I got 2 of these in black for above my kitchen island. Quality seems very high and love the look. Using them with a hue bulbs produces a particularly dramatic effect. My electrician had an easy time with the installation. My only complaint is that the gap between the metal hood and the glass bulb cover is on the tight side if you have larger hands so changing the bulb can be a bit of a pain when its on.

Bad quality
Here’s a suggestion for your comment: The light has a beautiful design, which I truly appreciate, but unfortunately, the quality is very disappointing. During installation, the paint was peeling off, and the glass globe is of very poor quality. While I’d give several stars for the design, the overall quality only deserves one star. I cannot recommend this product based on my experience.

Defective fixtures. ZERO customer service
Purchased two light fixtures and both are defective. Stem assembly is significantly crooked and canopy is dimpled on both fixtures. Emailed CS with photos and have only received generic "we'll get back to you in 2-3 business days" response - it's been 12 days! Phone calls go to voicemail.

Rod was a little short
Rod was a little short but the color and quality was beautiful . I hope I pass before I need to change the light bulbs! Even the electrician was challenged.

Stunning in person
The glass is a little ripply but I suppose that comes with the territory. Love it.

Ray 17” Pendant - shell white
The Ray is hanging above the staircase at our cabin replacing an unnecessary fan. The size and brightness are perfect for the location. I like the understatement of shell white. The rounded lines are easy and match the feeling of the cabin. #schoolhouserulz

Gorgeous in my kitchen!
We ordered this in white for my kitchen and it looks amazing. Had to rotate it around a bit to get it to hand straight, but we eventually found that sweet spot.

Perfect Island Lights
We recently updated our kitchen and ordered 3 of the Ray8” pendants for over the island and 1 Ray6” pendant for the kitchen window. They are perfect. They add so much character the the kitchen. Schoolhouse was a great company to work with. I was a little hesitant at first because they would have to be shipped across the country. I worried for nothing. They were shipped on time and arrived in perfect condition.
