Ole Lighting Celeste Pendant

Choosing a pendant for a space with hard surfaces and an echo problem usually means compromising on aesthetics — acoustic panels or nothing. The Celeste sidesteps that entirely, building sound-absorbing performance directly into the shade without sacrificing the design intent.

The shade is made from recycled plastic bottles, which gives it a pleated, tactile surface that absorbs ambient sound while looking considered rather than functional. Running through its centre is a polycarbonate tube housing an integrated LED light source — this is a light built into the fitting itself, not a replaceable bulb — which emits light both vertically above and below the shade as well as diffusing it outward through the drum.

The Ole Lighting Celeste is a vertical pendant designed by Rafa Ortega, a Spanish designer with a clear interest in the intersection of material honesty and architectural form. The thin glowing spine and broad floating shade create a silhouette that reads as both sculptural and purposeful — the kind of piece that earns its place in a room rather than just filling it.

The Celeste is available in four shades: Dark Camel, Urban Grey, Terracotta, and Turquoise — each offering a distinct character shift from warm and earthy to clean and contemporary. The black hardware, cord, and canopy remain consistent across all colourways, anchoring the composition.

The integrated LED tube means there is no lamp to source separately. As with any integrated LED fitting, it is worth confirming dimming compatibility with your control system before specifying — Ole Lighting backs the Celeste with a 3-year warranty, which provides reassurance on the light source longevity. No driver or transformer details are listed in the product data, so we recommend confirming electrical requirements with us before ordering.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we stock the Celeste because it solves a real problem without looking like it does. If you are specifying for a dining room, reception, or open-plan space where acoustics matter as much as atmosphere, this is the kind of value-engineered decision that pays off. We can advise on colourway selection, coordinate lead times, and ensure the electrical specification is confirmed before anything arrives on site.
