About the Patera Pendant

The Patera pendant was designed by Øivind Slaatto, who based it on the mathematics of the Fibonacci sequence. The poetic 360-degree glow of the Patera is derived from its many small diamond-shaped cells, which are assembled by hand. Each cell is meticulously designed to reflect light and delicately vary the appearance of the pendant from every angle. The brilliant mathematical structure allows the pendant to glow, free of glare, from every angle above 45 degrees while providing direct light below for ideal working light, depending on how the light is dimmed. At the same time, the design allows for a wonderful atmospheric upward light, illuminating the ceiling.

 

The form mesmerizes the viewer from all angles – yet, instead of taking over a space, it simply adds its own poetry. It was always Øivind Slaatto’s ambition to create a contemporary chandelier that could provide today's homes and venues with soft, dynamic, and glare-free illumination that generates life and enhances the atmosphere. In every size, the Patera creates a luminous focal point in any setting.

 

The Patera is available in sizes suitable for the largest venue to the smallest room. They all immerse their surroundings in a natural and complementary light. Whether it hangs alone or in rows, the Patera stands out. Place it high-up in a room or hotel lobby – or above dining tables in restaurants, in a child’s room, or in new expressive combinations with different sizes used together. Designed to shape light, the glowing sphere of the Patera provides outstanding illumination with its highly recognizable contemporary Danish design, which creates a captivating space – whether or not the light is switched on.

  • This spherical pendant emits a glare-free glow of light, which is reflected by the small diamond-shaped cells that comprise the fixture. The lamp's structure ensures that the light is glare-free from above 45 degrees while also allowing the fixture to emit a downwardly directed light as well as an upward radiance, illuminating the ceiling to lend further ambiance to its surroundings. Each cell shapes the light by creating soft transitions between direct and reflected light to emphasize the pendant's remarkably radiant sphere.

(Bulb not included).

Built-in LED:
The 17.7-inch size can be ordered with a built-in LED light source, either LED 2700K 42W or LED 3000K 42W.

The 23.6-inch size can be ordered with a built-in LED light source, either LED 2700K 65W or LED 3000K 65W.

The 35.4-inch size can be ordered with a built-in LED light source, either LED 2700K 97W or LED 3000K 97W.
