Know before you buy
The Calyx is inspired by Lucienne Day’s iconic mid-century textile design of the same name. It translates the original pattern's optimistic, organic motifs into a three-dimensional sculptural form.
No, the Calyx is not dimmable. It is designed to provide a consistent, singular level of illumination.
This fixture features a standard canopy-mounted installation. It is hardwired directly into your ceiling’s electrical junction box.
Due to its sculptural profile, it works best as a focal point in dining rooms, over kitchen islands, or above bar areas. Its abstract shape is designed to anchor a room while providing functional overhead lighting.
Because the fixture is hardwired, we recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician to ensure it is securely mounted and properly connected to your home's electrical system.
