Caravaggio BlackBlack by Lightyears

Caravaggio by Cecilie Manz was introduced in 2005. Thanks to its simple design, Caravaggio has quickly proven its potential for becoming a genuine classic, and is now being presented in a neutral version with black chrome suspension and black cord.

Creating a simple, soft design for small and large pendants was the main idea behind Cecilie Manz’ Caravaggio series, which is available in five different sizes. The curves passed through a number of shapes during the design process, but this version captures a feminine form.

The shade is made of drawn steel/aluminum and coated with smooth, high-gloss paint. The suspension technology is masculine in construction, creating the right counterbalance to the shade’s feminine lines. The suspension assembly consists of curved steel rods and two pieces of turned brass coated in black chrome. The depth of the shade prevents glare, no matter how high the pendant is hung. Caravaggio also features an opening at the top, which casts light upwards and illuminates both the suspension and cord.

Caravaggio is characterised by direct lighting without glare. It also adds to the room’s ambient light via the upward lighting from the pendant’s top.
