Pendant lighting that doubles as a spatial composition tool is a rare thing. The more common risk is choosing a decorative pendant that looks striking in isolation but loses its impact — or creates visual clutter — when scaled across a scheme. IVY I sidesteps that problem by design.
What makes a ring pendant work architecturally is restraint: the cable becomes a line in space, the form becomes a focal point, and the light source has to pull its weight without overwhelming the object. The integrated LED module here is made to measure for the ring — not a compromise, but part of the brief. Light exits through a long, narrow opening at the base of the ring, dispersed evenly by a methacrylate diffuser (a frosted acrylic-type element that softens and rounds the beam) so the downward pool of light is clean and deliberate.
The Lodes IVY I is a single-cable pendant designed by Vittorio Massimo in 2022. The ring itself is die-cast zinc alloy — a precision manufacturing process that delivers a tight, refined silhouette with genuine structural integrity — and the result is a luminaire that reads as both delicate and considered. It can be used as a standalone statement or grouped across Lodes canopies for multi-pendant compositions, letting you build from a single unit into something more ambitious.
The IVY I is available in three ring finishes — Matt Black, Matt Champagne, and Terracotta — each paired with a black suspension cable. The cable is as much a part of the design as the ring: a graphic vertical that defines the drop and frames the space below. Colour temperature options are 2700K (a warm, candlelight-adjacent tone) or 3000K (a slightly crisper warm white suited to contemporary interiors). Both deliver the ambience the form promises.
The IVY I carries an IP20 rating, meaning it is rated for dry interior environments only — not suitable for bathrooms or covered outdoor areas without additional protection. The integrated LED module is made to measure for the fitting, so there is no separate lamp to source or replace in the traditional sense. If you are specifying multiple units, confirm driver requirements and canopy compatibility with us before ordering — IVY I is designed to work within the Lodes ecosystem and grouping options are worth planning early.
At Lightsource Studio, we work with IVY I as a specification piece precisely because it rewards considered placement. Whether you are positioning a single ring over a dining table or building a clustered composition across a double-height ceiling, we can help map the layout, confirm the canopy configuration, and coordinate lead times so the install goes smoothly. The right product, specified correctly from the start — that is the difference between a pendant that photographs well and one that genuinely works in the space.
