Caravaggio pendant lamp

Creating a simple, soft design for small and large pendants was the main idea behind the Caravaggio series. The curves passed through a number of shapes during the design process, but the final version captures a feminine form.

The shade is made of drawn steel and coated with smooth, high-gloss painting. The suspension is masculine in construction, creating the right counterbalance to the shade's feminine lines. The suspension assembly consists of curved steel rods and two pieces of die-cast, aluminium-zinc alloy coated in matt chrome. The depth of the shade prevents glare, no matter how high the pendant is hung. Caravaggio also features an opening at the top, which casts light upwards and illuminates both the suspension and cord.

Caravaggio is characterised by direct lighting without glare. It also adds to the room's ambient light via the upward lighting from the pendant's top.
