Modell P0 - P3 (2005)
Creating a simple, soft design for small and large pendants was the main idea behind Cecilie Manz’ Caravaggio series. 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 and coated with smooth, high-gloss enamel. 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 matt 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.
Modell P4 (2006)
The introduction of the P4 large room pendent represents the natural development of the successful Caravaggio pendent series. Caravaggio P4 looks its best in large high ceiling rooms, whether this is business premises, public environments or in private homes.
here are three different versions of the P4 large room pendent. The incandescent lamp version gives a soft comfortable light, particularly suitable for the private market and interior applications where the goal is to create a pleasant atmosphere. The two compact fluorescent lamp versions are recommended where there is a need for higher lighting levels and greater energy efficiency. Both compact fluorescent lamps versions are supplied with electronic dimmable ballasts. A screen is fitted between the two compact fluorescent lamps to ensure the best light distribution and to reduce the transfer of heat from the other compact fluorescent lamp, so ensuring longer lamp lifetimes. The reflector version has a broader light distribution and is a little less powerful than the non-reflector version The P4 shade is manufactured of drawn aluminium coated with a smooth, high gloss paint finish. The suspension assembly consists of curved steel rods and two pieces of die-cast, aluminium-zinc alloy coated in satin chrome.

Modell Opal (2008)
Cecilie Manz' Caravaggio-pendant lamp has obtained the status of a genuine new classic in record time. The original Caravaggio pendant lamp with its high-gloss lacquered metal shade is known for its concentrated downward light. With Caravaggio Opal it is now possible to combine the characteristic design with a completely different lighting effect. The Opal glass shade gives out a soft, dimmed light which is particularly suited for rooms where a more evocative lighting is required. Thanks to the transparent white glass, the light from the lamp radiates in all directions and thus also lights up the lamp itself. In this way the lighted lamp appears as a floating drop of light, which in itself is very evocative, and at the same time wraps its surroundings in a soft, pleasant light. The lamp is suspended by the three well-known shackles which here form a raw and masculine contrast to the feminine opal glass. And again the cord is a part of the whole expression of the lamp, as it has been wrapped in grey textile material in order to bring a nuance of light and shade into the white look. Few lamps cast such a soft light as Caravaggio Opal. The white hand-blown glass shade works very gently with the light and sends down a warm, round light where needed, while the surroundings are illuminated by a pleasant room lighting full of atmosphere.
Modell T + F (2008)
With Caravaggio Table and Caravaggio Floor Cecilie Manz' characteristic pendant lamp has come down on to the table and the floor. The new lamps complement the swinging pendant lamp when they are in the same room, while at the same time they are elegant design pieces that will always be able to stand alone. Both the table lamp and the floor lamp are made of metal with a lacquer finish. The characteristic shade is high-gloss lacquered, while the foot and standard have been given a dull lacquer finish. A flexible tube, which is hidden by the shade, has been mounted on the standard which makes it possible to tilt the shade, and with it the light cone, up to 40 degrees. This function makes the lamps more flexible and functional as light sources, so that they can be used, for example, as working lights. At the same time an exciting asymmetrical look can be achieved when the shade is tilted.
