Modern Pendant Lighting | Designer Hanging Lights https://shop.gessato.com/home-living/lighting/hanging-lights/ Contemporary Design Shop, Modern Furniture & Home Accessories Sat, 07 Mar 2026 13:03:55 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.5 Pose LED Pendant Light https://shop.gessato.com/pose-led-pendant-light/ https://shop.gessato.com/pose-led-pendant-light/#respond Sat, 07 Mar 2026 13:03:55 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=165130 Pose is Tom Dixon’s take on optical hardware: a conical shade paired with a flat PMMA lens, inspired by lighthouse lenses and scientific instruments. The lens shapes the output into a more directed, slightly magnified beam, which makes it especially good over tables, counters, and anywhere you want light to land with intention instead of drifting around the room.

The head is built around a highly polished magnetic sphere and a chrome ball joint, so you can aim the pendant for downlight, backlight, or accent light with a small adjustment. The light source is a warm 2700K LED, dimmable, and replaceable—practical details that matter when you’re buying a fixture you plan to live with. Offered in multiple sizes and finishes, Pose works as a single statement piece or in a row over an island.

Rubin Paper Lantern, Tapered https://shop.gessato.com/rubin-paper-lantern-tapered/ https://shop.gessato.com/rubin-paper-lantern-tapered/#respond Tue, 03 Feb 2026 18:30:14 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=162837 The Tapered Rubin has that familiar paper-lantern warmth, but the profile feels a little more tailored. It hangs neatly, keeps its shape, and throws a soft, even glow that’s great over a dining table or in a reading corner where you want light that doesn’t shout.

Matthew Hilton designed it in traditional-style Japanese paper, with a fluted inner cavity that helps spread the light in a gentle way. The 3 m cable gives you flexibility for higher ceilings and off-center junction boxes. Choose lantern-only if you already have a pendant setup, or go with the power-cable option for a straightforward install.

Rubin Paper Lantern, Narrow https://shop.gessato.com/rubin-paper-lantern-narrow/ https://shop.gessato.com/rubin-paper-lantern-narrow/#respond Mon, 02 Feb 2026 21:12:19 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=162843 Matthew Hilton in traditional-style Japanese paper. Slim profile with a fluted interior detail for a soft, warm glow. 3 m cable. Lantern-only or with power cable.]]> The Narrow Rubin is the one for tighter spots: a hallway, a small kitchen, the side of a bed, a corner that needs light but can’t spare much visual space. It has a slim, vertical presence, and the paper shade keeps the glow soft and flattering.

Made from traditional-style Japanese paper, it’s shaped around a fluted inner cavity that guides the light so it feels even rather than harsh. The 3 m cable makes it easy to hang at the right height, even when the ceiling point isn’t exactly where you want the lamp.

Rubin Paper Lantern, Round https://shop.gessato.com/rubin-paper-lantern-round/ https://shop.gessato.com/rubin-paper-lantern-round/#respond Mon, 02 Feb 2026 21:09:00 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=162840 Matthew Hilton in traditional-style Japanese paper. Wide, rounded shade with fluted interior detail for a soft, warm glow. 3 m cable. Lantern-only or with power cable.]]> The Round Rubin is the most generous of the three. It sits low and wide, and it’s the one that gives a room that classic paper-lantern atmosphere—great over a table, centered in a living room, or anywhere you want a larger, softer pool of light.

It’s made from traditional-style Japanese paper, shaped with a fluted inner cavity that helps distribute the glow evenly across the shade. The 3 m cable gives you plenty of hanging range, whether you’re dropping it low over a dining table or keeping it higher for general light. Available as lantern-only or with a power cable.

Dancing Glass Suspension Light https://shop.gessato.com/dancing-glass-suspension-light/ https://shop.gessato.com/dancing-glass-suspension-light/#respond Tue, 14 Oct 2025 19:53:46 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=158048 From Oluce’s Dancing Glass series, this linear suspension arranges clear or smoked borosilicate “drums” along a dark spine, hiding the LED so you see glow and shadow, not the source. The different diameters and lengths create a quiet rhythm on the table; dim it and the pattern softens.

Over a 6–8 seat table it works cleanly without blocking sightlines; in an entry it reads like a luminous frieze. Field-adjustable cables keep the fixture level after install.

Integrated warm-white LED; clear or smoke glass options. Span approx. 47″ for the standard size, a comfortable fit for most dining setups.

Press Frosted Sphere Pendant https://shop.gessato.com/press-frosted-sphere-pendant/ https://shop.gessato.com/press-frosted-sphere-pendant/#respond Mon, 22 Sep 2025 19:23:39 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=156840 Designed by Tom Dixon, the Press Frosted Sphere takes its cue from shipping buoys: heavy pressed glass shaped into rounded rings, then sand-blasted to a translucent matte that diffuses the LED ring inside.
Up close you notice the stepped surface—the ribs scatter hotspots and the frosted skin hides the source, so the glow reads warm and even. Hang the Mini over a bedside, pair two over a bar, or float the Medium in living and dining spaces; mix sizes for a quiet rhythm across a room. Each pendant ships with a warm 2700K replaceable LED ring and a long drop for flexible hangs.

Soft Pendant Light https://shop.gessato.com/soft-pendant-light/ https://shop.gessato.com/soft-pendant-light/#respond Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:12:52 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=156705 Soft, even glow—pebble-textured sphere that cuts glare and warms a room.

Designed by Tom Dixon, the Soft Pendant wraps a welded-steel frame in a sprayed cocoon of TPU, creating translucent “cells” that read matte by day and lantern-like at night.

You notice the surface first: a mosaic of gentle circles that spreads light without hotspots. Hang one over a dining table, pair two above a kitchen island, or float a large size in the living room. Standard Edison-screw bulbs (smart bulbs welcome) let you tune brightness and color temperature. Each pendant includes a 11.5-ft fabric cable for an easy drop.

Available in two diameters—17.7″ or 23.6″—so you can size it to the space while keeping the same quiet character.

Plena LED Suspension Light https://shop.gessato.com/plena-led-suspension-light/ https://shop.gessato.com/plena-led-suspension-light/#respond Mon, 11 Aug 2025 17:05:59 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=152849 A single, sail-like arc delivers two layers of light at once: a 36-inch aerodynamic disc sends a glare-free pool onto the table and a soft wash up to the ceiling.
Designed by Luca Nichetto and Paolo Lucidi for Foscarini, the Plena LED Suspension Light seems to hover in mid-air, its slim edge tapering to just a few millimetres.

Hidden LEDs bounce off the matte underside, so diners see only the glow, never the source. The result is full-room illumination that stays gentle and enveloping, even when dimmed up for tasks. Near-invisible steel cables let you tilt the fixture slightly forward or back, changing how the light skims surfaces below—handy for long tables or asymmetrical seating areas.

Hang Plena above a dining table, conference desk, or open living space; the wing-shaped reflector keeps sightlines clear while projecting 2 700 K warmth across both ceiling and conversation.

Pli LED Chandelier https://shop.gessato.com/pli-led-chandelier/ https://shop.gessato.com/pli-led-chandelier/#respond Fri, 01 Aug 2025 13:54:35 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=152890 A 40-inch sweep of folded, micro-perforated paper turns twin LED bars into a soft up-and-down glow that never glares.
Felicia Arvid designed Pli for Foscarini as a riff on couture pleats, wrapping a slim aluminum spine in Italian paper that drapes like fabric yet holds an architectural edge.

Look closely: each scallop catches light along its curve, while tiny perforations let a warm sheen seep through the shade itself. The result feels weightless overhead but fills a dining table, island, or long desk with even illumination. Phase-cut and 0-10 V dimming shift the mood from task-bright to dinner-low, and near-invisible suspension cables keep the fixture floating in space.

Hang one Pli to anchor a breakfast nook, run two in a row above a conference table, or let it hover in a gallery corridor—the airy profile and textile-like texture soften modern rooms while delivering energy-efficient performance night after night.

Twiggy Wood Pendant Light https://shop.gessato.com/twiggy-wood-pendant-light/ https://shop.gessato.com/twiggy-wood-pendant-light/#respond Wed, 09 Jul 2025 19:24:25 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=151599 Marc Sadler’s iconic Twiggy turns fifteen with a striking new outfit in real wood veneer. A paper-thin layer of limed oak or rich rosewood wraps the classic drum, adding natural warmth to its famously weightless silhouette. Hidden inside, a high-output 33 W LED module pushes crisp task light straight down while a translucent top diffuser sends a soft halo upward—perfect for dining tables that need both sparkle and atmosphere. The shade hangs from an impossibly slim composite rod that doubles as a visual accent, and a transparent cord keeps the focus on the floating form. Dim-to-warm compatibility, ETL listing, and cable-length options make this statement piece as practical as it is beautiful—an elegant marriage of high-tech engineering and handcrafted appeal that slots effortlessly into modern, Scandinavian, or Japandi interiors.
