Design Features
This pendant emphasizes horizontal balance, shallow depth, and material honesty. The design blends minimal industrial structure with classic metal craftsmanship, resulting in a fixture that feels tailored, versatile, and quietly expressive.
Overall form and silhouette
The lamp features a half-bowl profile that reads as a suspended crescent or shallow dome. A straight upper edge creates a crisp horizontal line, while the underside curves smoothly into a rounded form. This contrast gives the fixture a calm, architectural presence without visual heaviness.
Shade geometry, visual balance
The shade is wide and horizontally oriented, creating a stable visual weight over the surface below. Its shallow depth prevents the lamp from feeling bulky, while the broad span makes it effective at anchoring dining tables, counters, and entry zones.
Surface texture and character
The brass surface shows subtle hand-worked hammer marks that soften reflections and add depth. This restrained texture avoids a flat, machine-made look while maintaining refinement. The finish reads crafted and tactile rather than polished or glossy.
Hardware and suspension details
A straight downrod connects to a compact ring-and-yoke hanging element above the bowl. The exposed hardware introduces a quiet industrial note that balances the smooth geometry of the shade. Detailing remains minimal, keeping focus on proportion and form.
Light behavior and function
The open bowl directs light downward in a wide, even spread. This creates effective task and ambient lighting over surfaces while reducing glare at eye level. The shallow profile allows light to feel present and usable without overwhelming the space.
Design style and applications
The pendant blends minimal industrial structure with classic metal craftsmanship. Its disciplined geometry allows it to move easily between modern, transitional, and industrial interiors where shape and proportion matter more than ornament.

Lighting and Placement Tips
Because the shade is wide and shallow, hang the pendant high enough to preserve clear sightlines while keeping the light centered on the surface below. Over long tables or islands, centered placement enhances balance and visual calm.
