Currey & Company is introducing five new pendant shades to its Multi-Drop Pendants flexible lighting system. The new shades are made of a variety of natural materials. Some are smaller versions of options already in the Currey product line.
The Lazio Multi-Drop Pendant has a luminous shade carved from natural alabaster. The veining in the material makes each shade unique. The painted silver finish also helps to keep the design light and airy. The Lazio is available in a number of different configurations.
The Rame Multi-Drop Pendant has a teardrop-shaped shade made of mercury glass with silver on the inside and copper on the outside. The lightness of the painted silver finish makes the oblong shade seem to float.
The shade on the Piero Multi-Drop Pendant may appear to be woven from a natural plant material, but it is made of iron in a white finish. When the white pendant is illuminated, textural patterns will enliven surrounding surfaces.
The lighting system, created by Senior Designer Ian Thornton, is available in one-, three-, seven-, 15-, 30- and 36-light configurations. Lights are suspended from aircraft cable and can be adjusted up to 10 feet. Technical aspects of the collection include a FCC-approved transformer and driver. The pendants are designed to use a 10-watt halogen bulb or a 2-watt LED bulb. The lighting system can be used for residential and commercial spaces.
