Lodes Kelly Pendant

Choosing a statement pendant for a large interior space carries real risk — get the scale, the light distribution, or the finish wrong, and an expensive centrepiece can feel misplaced. The Kelly pendant by Lodes is a considered answer to that challenge: dramatic at scale, but engineered to perform as well as it impresses.

For a pendant like this, what matters most is how light actually behaves in the room. The laser-cut lower section of the shade is not just decorative — it actively projects light sideways through its organic cutout geometry, casting layered shadow patterns across surrounding walls and floors. This is ambient lighting with genuine character. The inner glass diffuser conceals the light source and softens the direct output, preventing glare without sacrificing presence.

The Lodes Kelly Pendant is a large-scale ceiling pendant designed by Andrea Tosetto for the Italian manufacturer Lodes. Its hemispherical dome shade combines a solid upper half — finished internally in white to maximise upward light reflection — with a laser-cut lattice lower half that releases light sideways in complex, dappled patterns. The result is equal parts sculpture and light source. The fixture is rated IP20, making it suitable for dry interior spaces such as living rooms, dining areas, entrance halls, and hospitality settings.

The design's monolithic form is defined by the contrast between the solid, weighty top and the skeletal, airy lower section — a tension that reads differently at every time of day. The shade is available in Matt Champagne and Matt White. The fixture is suspended on three thin metallic support cables with a central electrical cord, and the suspension height is adjustable to suit different ceiling levels and room proportions. Four size variants are available, making it possible to match the pendant to the scale of the space.

The Kelly is rated IP20 and is intended for interior dry locations only. Specific lamp type, driver requirements, and electrical details should be confirmed at point of specification — our team can advise on compatibility with your dimming setup and control system. A one-year manufacturer's warranty is provided by Lodes.
