Simple and sweeping, the Trapezoids Pendant from Quorum International is a contemporary design that dangles tantalizingly downwards from a smooth disc ceiling mount. An elegant chain then drops a slim but strong stem into an upward-flaring aluminum socket, which expands into an outward-flaring shade and diffuser set below the lamping. This arrangement gentles otherwise-direct downlight into a warmer ambient glow, while the fixture’s height makes it excellent for illuminating tables, counters, and entryways alike.
