Pendant light

A pendant light is a key decorative object; in fact, designer pendants are generally placed in the center of rooms for direct lighting. Multi-form and multi-material, their diversity means they can be introduced into any room according to the lighting and ambience desired. Clad in metal (as at Anglepoise), they offer an industrial style; made of glass (as at Fontana Arte or Ebb and Flow), they increase luminosity and provide various reflections; in cardboard (as at Graypants), they play with light; in Japanese paper (as at Céline Wright), they create a calm, soft ambience thanks to their filtered light; each material brings its own decorative style.

Pendant lights can also illuminate a dedicated space or area, such as a table, kitchen island or bar. In this case, the designer pendant must adapt to the size of the piece of furniture or object, not the room.
They're perfect for small spaces and low ceilings, as they're less imposing than lusters.

They can be installed on their own or in clusters for a rather graphic visual effect, such as the Kin design suspension by Oluce, or the Speers by B-Lux. Some suspensions like the Igloo System by Fontana Arte even offer maximum customization, through the orientation and number of modules available.

In a garden or on a terrace, outdoor suspensions like the Pisolo suspension by Karman elegantly illuminate and highlight an outdoor table or lounge for all summer evenings.
