Know before you buy
The open design is specifically engineered to diffuse light softly through the cocoon material. It creates an atmospheric, cloud-like glow that reduces harsh glare, making it ideal for ambient lighting in living areas or bedrooms.
Yes, the fixture uses a standard E26 bulb base and is compatible with most smart bulbs. Since the pendant is dimmable, you can easily pair it with a smart bulb to control brightness and color temperature via your preferred home automation system.
Yes, the Muuto Strand Pendant requires hardwiring into your ceiling's electrical junction box. It includes a canopy and all necessary hardware for a standard installation, but we recommend consulting a licensed electrician if you are not experienced with electrical work.
The Strand Pendant is available in small, medium, and large sizes to accommodate different room scales. For smaller nooks or grouping multiple pendants over a kitchen island, the smaller sizes work best, while the larger versions serve as a dramatic focal point in dining rooms or entryways.
The cocoon material is a unique, sprayed-on composite that gives the shade its soft, textured appearance. To clean it, simply use a soft, dry cloth or a duster to gently remove any surface dust; avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
