Qalibra
The pendant was developed to address a specific project requirement for a suspended light fitting that fulfilled both the need for something decorative as well as functional over a kitchen counter and dining room table.
The multi-faceted piece performs the role of being a functional light source for the kitchen as well as dining tasks while maintaining its aesthetic appearance.
Beyond its striking patinated finish, the Qalibra Pendant is a solid cast bronze pendant that offers unique lighting capabilities. It casts an adjustable focus beam downwards for crisp task lighting and an indirect upward ceiling wash for ambient lighting. These features make the pendant highly adaptable for different scenarios. Notably, Qalibra’s beam spread is adjustable and dimmable, allowing for a tailored lighting experience. This fine-tuning of the beam helps optimise visual comfort, and its careful design ensures that the light source remains hidden, eliminating any potential glare. This thoughtful design is achieved through an internal mechanism that adjusts the light source, influencing the beam of light that emanates from the bottom of the pendant. purpose – carrying the weighted load of the pendant and providing power to the light source.
