Elio
Elio
A shallow shade with a clear outline
Elio’s character starts with the brass shade: wide across its rim, gently raised towards the centre and carried by a slender support. Without elaborate ornament, the curve and edge become the detail. The metal has enough presence beside timber, plaster or stone to bring warmth to the composition, while the low profile leaves space around the fitting.
Our single pendants offer different shade proportions within that same restrained drawing. A broader shade makes a more distinct centre above a table; a smaller version can remain a quieter part of a kitchen or dining area. The choice changes the relationship with the furniture, without introducing another decorative vocabulary.
From a single centre to a longer composition
The linear Elio pendant spreads separate shades along a common ceiling bar. Their individual drops allow the eye to follow a row of small brass forms rather than one continuous body. Above an elongated table, that open arrangement can accompany its length and keep the surrounding room visible between the lights.
The wall light carries the shallow shade on a curved brass arm. Its rounded support gives the same family a different movement, bringing the design beside furniture or along a wall. The wall arm adds a rounded line beneath the broad edge of the shade. Its curve is especially apparent against a simple wall, while the suspended versions leave their slender drops in view.
Elio sits within our indoor lighting, with a simple vintage character that also leaves room for contemporary furniture. Ceramic, woven fabric and natural wood can sit comfortably beside its brass; the room need not become a collection of period objects to make the family feel at home.
