Firstly, why pendants?
Instead of a harsh downlight, pendants allow light to illuminate a room at a lower level to create ambience and enhance the interior design aesthetic. Pendants are also completely customisable residential and commercial solutions. Even renters, with the help of an electrician, can change the fitting of a pre-existing pendant to suit their taste without damaging the ceiling. A pendant light is often used deliberately over a key area, such as the dinner table or kitchen bench to provide light and mood where it's needed.
Where do pendants come from?
Apparently pendant lamps were born in ancient Greece, which is coincidental given The Stoa of Attalos in Agora, Athens was the inspiration for the Attalos lighting collection. Although our ancient civilisations used them a little differently, hanging animal fats and perfumes from clay pots with wicks.
The Attalos lighting range is available as either a table lamp or as a suspended pendant light feature. Marz Designs has reinterpreted the traditional stone carving technique of fluting into a sculptural contemporary brass light fixture. With a solid brass base, like Ancient Greek architecture, the Attalos will remain timeless for years to come.
Let’s use the Attalos pendant light to explain how rods are used by Marz Designs.
