Overview
Classic circles and a tapered profile come together in a sandwiched silhouette that feels calm and considered. Designed to cast a focused pool downward, Pendulum punctuates rooms with a minimal gesture that reads modern yet familiar.
The Challenge
Translate the idea of a pendulum into a pendant that feels elemental instead of literal. Keep the form spare while ensuring the piece installs easily in real homes and hospitality spaces. Make the design legible across a broader pendant launch without losing its own identity.
The Solution
Use a balanced stack of circular geometries to create a clean horizon and a controlled downlight. Tuck hardware and transitions so the eye reads one continuous profile, then pair the fixture with Gantri’s simplified mounting approach to reduce installation friction. Position Pendulum within a larger family of easy-to-install pendants so the language scales from single fixtures to multi-light compositions.
The Result
Recognition followed quickly: The Architect’s Newspaper named Pendulum a 2024 Best of Products winner. Press coverage called out the innovative, easier-to-install system, with features in Fast Company and Interior Design’s ICFF roundup underscoring the practicality behind the design. Architectural Digest has featured Pendulum within their articles multiple times.
