BeakBrilliance Bird Pendant Light

A sculpted bird in flight, suspended on a slim cable with the light emitting from beneath — a pendant that works as an object first and a light second. Hung in a stairwell, over a hallway or in a double-height space, several at staggered heights give the impression of a flock moving through the room, which is why hotels and restaurants use them.

Three body shapes are offered in each colour, each with a different wing position, so a group can be assembled with variation rather than repetition. White reads light and airy against pale ceilings and is the more common choice for domestic interiors; black is graphic and dramatic and holds its own in a bar, a study or against a dark ceiling.

Warm light gives a softer, more atmospheric result and is the safer choice at home; white light is crisper and shows the sculptural form of the bird more clearly, which suits display and commercial settings. Each pendant hangs on an adjustable cable so drop heights can be varied across a group.
