Chandeliers & Pendants

Balax is a chandelier built from three stacked drums. They step down in size above and below, with the widest one in the middle. The metal is brushed brass in colour and shows a fine horizontal brush grain. It hangs from a ceiling plate on a chain whose links match the same brass tone. It measures 55 cm high and 80 cm wide. It is one of the models from the first Archilumos series. The tiered drums do not throw light straight into the eye. They soften it and spread it down and out to the sides, and the metal warms up as the light falls on it. Clean it with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, and skip polish and abrasives. Chain length is set to the ceiling height. Over a dining table, in a wide living room, a hotel lobby or the middle of a restaurant, it carries enough weight on its own. We settle material, tone and size at order; tell us the ceiling height and the length of your table.

Our Design Studio takes a home, villa or hotel from floor plan to handover as one team: site survey, concept, photorealistic 3D visualisation, material selection, production in our own factory and installation on site. You see this piece in your room, in the finish you chose, before anything is made.

What is brass made from? A copper-zinc alloy never found pure in nature. From mine to PVD coating: which finish keeps furniture brass bright for years?

A niche, a ceiling beam or an uneven floor is where made to measure pays off; in a rented flat ready-made usually does the job. Nine criteria compared.
