As a specialist in Nordic design, Scandinavia Design invites you to discover the most beautiful Scandinavian hanging lamps by the greatest designers.
When used properly, pendant lighting can dramatically improve the atmosphere of a room. A cold room becomes warm, a soulless space attractive.
Accustomed to long winter nights and lack of light, the Scandinavians understood this better than most. Even today, the Nordic art of light is unrivalled in Europe.
Rather than the utilitarian approach of a powerful lamp in the middle of the room, the Nordics prefer to multiply low-powered light sources.
Suspended lights are hung low above dining tables, but also above chests of drawers and coffee tables, close to walls and corners to diversify atmospheres.
Light sources should be warm (a temperature of 2700K is generally recommended for living rooms) and glare-free.
We've separated hanging lights into several categories for easy exploration: metal pendants, glass pendants, polymer pendants, natural material pendants (wood, paper, fabric, mother-of-pearl, stone), horizontal and vertical pendants, ceiling lights, spotlights and stem lights.
