Pendant panache
Pendants offer striking, versatile lighting solutions for
office, hospitality and retail applications. The latest
EGLO pendant range from Eurolux is attractive, and
the task and ambient lighting it provides will enhance
any space.
The Eglo Pinto family of lights offers a clean design
with a cool contemporary feel and consists of two
distinct ranges – the Pinto Nero and the Pinto 1. The
Pinto Nero pendant is made from iron with matte
nickel finish and a cylindrical hanging shade.The shade
consists of a tinted glass outer and a shaped opal glass
inner to allow for maximum distribution of light. The
glass on glass effect gives a tasteful, modern look,
with each pendant fitting a 60 W lamp.
The Eglo Pinto 1 pendant presents a truly modern
urban design. With steel cut-outs in the inner shade
that allow light to escape outwards as well as down,
the Pinto 1 complements residential city lofts as well
as large public dining spaces. The inner cut-out has
a chrome finish whilst the glass shade is clear. Each
pendant takes a 50 W lamp.
Both the Pinto Nero and Pinto 1 are available as
single or three light pendants, with all designs allowing
for height customisation.
According to Shaun Bouchier, director at Eurolux,
the reason that so many pendants offer a set of three
lights is to achieve balance. “An easy way to attain
balance is to repeat an element three times. But, natu-
rally, scale is also important and in certain applications
three pendants could be overwhelming so it may be
best to use two larger pendants. It is for this reason
that pendants often offer slim designs, allowing three
pendants to fit quite easily over a selected space.”
Those with more traditional tastes will appreci-
ate the Eglo Alessandra single light pendant. It is a
modern ceiling pendant with an LED light source,
and has a white finish and a beautiful wide, alabaster
glass shade. The lamp is suspended from a springy,
adjustable cord making the height flexible, with a
cord length of 1100 mm. The product is also available
with a white alabaster shade featuring a brown effect.
The Musero pendant collection by Eglo features
machined aluminium trims in glass tube shades,
suspended from dark aluminium metal ware. Fitted
with built-in COB LEDs in 3000 K warm white, this
versatile and stylish pendant is suitable for any room
with a contemporary feel.
