Pendant lamps seen at Euroluce

We have seen them suspended from the ceiling like sculptures that attract all eyes, hooked to rails as part of contract-inspired systems that are increasingly common even in the home, or in complex and scenic modular compositions such as art installations. From the many offerings at the 2025 edition of Euroluce, we have selected twelve pendant lamps that interpret the latest trends in different ways, from a grand return to craftsmanship, together with technological innovation, to the use of sustainable materials. Without neglecting the poetic touch, capable of surprising and moving the viewer.

The elementary form of the lamp fitted with a bulb was the starting point for Ingo Maurer in many creative adventures, starting with Bulb, a project from 1966. The brand founded by the German designer, who passed away in 2019, continues along the path he traced and retains his distinctively ironic attitude. The new Shhh! lamp plays at puzzling the viewer by stirring things up. The bulb, which at first glance seems to be the light source, actually has the function of diffusing the light while the headphones conceal two spotlights.  

Light is not where we are used to seeking it again in the G-Line pendant lamps from Creative Cables, the young Turin-based company (founded in 2013) famous for its textile cables of all colors. The Ghost cone-shaped bulb is both a diffuser and seems to be suspended in a void. The trick is surprising in its simplicity: the glass, transparent or smoked, amplifies the light emitted by a ring of LEDs to create a striking effect.  

Luminora Light, the chandelier designed by Cristina Celestino for Moooi, likewise uses a little sleight of hand. It explicitly alludes to the tradition of Murano glass and its characteristic spirals, but the glass itself is absent, replaced by arched LED tubes that recreate the image of two concentric circles wedged into each other. The distinctive facets of the tubes capture the light and reflect it in intriguing ways.

The main challenge in the conception of Stellaris, was to conceal the mechanical part and the light sources inside a polished shell-sculpture in thermoplastic polymer that looks just like glass. With this lamp the American company Lucifer Lighting took part for the first time at Euroluce. The result of three years of work with the Gensler architecture practice, a global giant, the lamp mingles different inspirations, from Art Deco to Lalique glass.  

Big Glow, the pendant lamp designed by the Dutch designers of Studio Truly Truly for the Australian company Rakumba Lighting, has a rounded and reassuring shape. If anything, the innovation lies in the choice of sustainable materials: Australian wool, famous for its softness, is a compostable fiber of animal origin. The light it emits can be directed downwards and shine brightly, like the sun in the land of koalas and kangaroos, or with a softer and more diffused glow.  

The name of the new family of lamps, Pòta! from Catellani & Smith, is an exclamation of astonishment common in Bergamo. The lamp itself weds craftsmanship with technology. A delicate handmade brass structure, spherical in the suspension version and reticular in the wall-mounted model, supports the light fixtures, slender rods fitted with LED filaments, and brings them the energy necessary for their functioning. The result is what Enzo Catellani describes as “a subtle design that arises from the function”.
