A Patera Pendant Light

Designed by Oivind Slaatto for Louis Poulsen, the Patera Pendant Light is a modern take on the classic chandelier.

Sophisticated and daring, Slaatto wanted to create a pendant that was 'a three-dimensional Sudoku .. an extremely mathematical assignment'. Carefully positioned cells emit different disparities of the light source, from a diffused soft glow at the top down to direct light from the bottom; bringing a glowing focal point and a soft, dynamic illumination to contemporary spaces. Whether used individually or in a dynamic cluster, the beautiful spherical form is simultaneously both calming and dazzling; creating a sense of magic that replicates looking up to a starry night sky.
