Know before you buy
The pendant is crafted from opaline methacrylate, specifically Green Cast®, which is a 100% recycled and recyclable PMMA. The canopy is made of aluminum.
The fixture measures 21.5 inches in width and length, with a height of 21.2 inches. Because of its lightweight, floating aesthetic, it works well in rooms with standard or high ceilings, but you should ensure the 21.2-inch height fits your specific clearance needs.
Yes, this is an authentic reissue of the original 1950 design by Gino Sarfatti, produced by Astep.
Not at all. The use of PMMA (methacrylate) is a deliberate design choice that allows for the signature 'floating' look while remaining durable and easy to maintain. Its lightweight nature also makes the installation process more manageable compared to glass pendants.
The opaline methacrylate diffusers are designed to soften the light source, creating a warm, diffused glow that minimizes glare. This makes it an excellent choice for dining areas or living spaces where you want ambient, comfortable illumination.
