Two forms, one shade. A tighter drum above, a broader cone below, separated at the waist by a single matte black ring that holds the whole composition together with the confidence of a tailor's cut. The Lirien Pleat is the most precisely constructed fabric pendant in the range, and the one that rewards the closest attention.
The pleating runs floor to crown, fine, dense, and entirely consistent, across both the upper drum and the lower cone without interruption. The matte black ring that divides them is not a structural compromise. It is the design decision that makes the Lirien what it is: an acknowledgment that two proportions are more interesting than one, and that the contrast between a tight cylinder and an open cone is a geometry worth exploring in fabric.
When lit, the pleats create a vertical rhythm of light and shadow across the shade's surface, warm at the face of each fold, slightly cooler in the recess between. The combined effect is a shade that appears to breathe. Below, a dramatic pool of directional warmth falls onto the table or surface beneath, the downward cone of the shade focusing the light with the precision of a spotlight and the warmth of a lantern.
A piece for dining rooms that want presence without decoration, and for hotel spaces where the quality of the shade is as considered as the quality of the room it hangs in.
