PENDANT LIGHTS WITH STRONG PERSONALITY UP THE ANTE WHEN GROUPED IN CLUSTERS

1 OUT OF THIS WORLD

Late last year, Bocci introduced 13 new colours for 28, a series of masterfully misshapen hand-blown orbs.

The hues can be mixed to create otherworldly displays, such as this cloud formation of 189 pendants recently hung in the brand’s Berlin showroom. bocci.ca

2 SMALL WONDERS

Patrick Norguet’s Giò pendants for Artemide have flared shades that cast light in a focused direction, making them ideal over intimate tables in a restaurant. The cheery red, yellow and blue contrast with the graphic black and white for an impactful grouping. artemide.com

3 GOING DARK

Tom Dixon has applied a slick black coating to his classic Copper pendant, doubling down on its drama while transforming it into something a little edgier. A silver-lined interior adds just the right amount of contrast. tomdixon.net

4 A PRETTY SIGHT

The gradated pastels of Dechem Studio’s Phenomena pendants for Bomma were created by hand-blowing the palehued glass directly into clear crystal. Capped with gold- or silver-finished metal tubes, the simple shapes are propelled to scene-stealing status. bomma.cz

5 SLIM DOWN

Elegantly tapered and now available in matte black, Cascade by Modern Forms can be suspended to a maximum length of 305 centimetres for use in atriums and lobbies. Its flat-cap, cutglass spotlight enhances the streamlined design. modernforms.com
