Kala Perforated Metal Pendant Light

The Kala brings a striking celestial effect to a room. The speckled black metal shade is perforated with a constellation-like starfield pattern, and when the light is on it projects warm golden points across the ceiling and walls. The copper-gold interior finish amplifies the glow, giving an immersive, lantern-like atmosphere that becomes the focal point of the room the moment the switch is thrown. Unlit, it reads simply as a compact dark orb with texture in the surface.

The shade is constructed from powder-coated metal in a compact orb silhouette, 30cm wide and 31cm tall, hung on an adjustable 100cm cable that is trimmed to the right drop at installation. The perforations are cut through the metal rather than printed, so the pattern is as much a part of the shade as the finish. Because the light escapes through those openings as well as the mouth of the shade, the effect on the surrounding surfaces matters as much as the pool beneath it.

Kala is designed for living rooms, dining areas and bedroom alcoves, and works as a single statement piece or grouped in clusters above a dining table or kitchen island. The orb suits standard ceiling heights from 2.4m upward, and pairs with contemporary, industrial and bohemian interiors that welcome warmth and texture. Give it a plain ceiling and clear wall nearby so the projected pattern has somewhere to land. Dust the perforated shade with a soft brush rather than a cloth, which can catch.
