Outdoor decorative lighting is where specification decisions most often unravel. A pendant that looks extraordinary in a mood board can disappoint in reality if the IP rating is wrong for the zone, the finish reacts to coastal air, or the light quality doesn't carry the atmosphere it promised. Getting these details right before ordering matters.
For outdoor pendant applications — covered terraces, pergolas, entrance canopies — you need a fitting rated to handle moisture ingress. IP64 means the luminaire is fully protected against dust and resists water splashing from any direction, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas where it won't be directly rained on. Equally important is material integrity: finishes that hold up to UV exposure and humid conditions without degrading the visual character of the piece.
The A-Emotional Light Agasallo Outdoor Pendant addresses both. Designed by Héctor Serrano for Spanish manufacturer a-emotional light, the Agasallo 2 is part of a wider collection built around the brand's signature material: moulded and hand-painted metal mesh. The IP64 rating confirms its suitability for sheltered outdoor use, while the hand-painted finish is integral to the manufacturing process rather than applied as an afterthought.
The form is genuinely unusual. A thread is passed through multiple points of a mesh cylinder, and when the points are drawn together, the material folds naturally into soft, draped curves — no tooling, no forcing. The resulting silhouette is organic and unhurried, with an open, undulating base edge and a surface that catches and diffuses light in a shimmering, textured glow. It's the kind of shape that takes a moment to understand, and then you can't unsee how clever it is. The Agasallo collection is available in four colourways: Beige, White, Grey, and Taupe.
The Agasallo range includes four pendant sizes that can be combined at varying heights to create bespoke compositions — suited to larger terraces, restaurant settings, or any project where a single pendant isn't enough. The shade is suspended by a single slender black cable. Lamp, driver, and full installation details should be confirmed at point of specification; contact Lightsource Studio for current technical data.
At Lightsource Studio, we work with products like the Agasallo precisely because specification confidence matters as much as design intent. We'll confirm the right size and colourway for your space, check lead times and availability, and help you build compositions that translate from concept to installed reality — on time, and without costly surprises.
