Stilnovo Megafono Chandelier

Choosing a statement chandelier for a large interior or dining space comes with a real risk: a fitting that looks arresting in a product image but fails to deliver the right quality or spread of light once installed. Scale, light direction, and finish coherence all matter — and getting any one of them wrong is an expensive lesson.

For spaces that need both ambient presence and decorative impact, the key is a fixture that does more than one job. Bi-directional light sources — fittings that cast both upward and downward simultaneously — help fill a room with layered warmth rather than a single flat pool of light. The Megafono achieves this through its double-ended hourglass shade design, where each shade holds a light source at both ends.

The Stilnovo Megafono Chandelier is a six-arm ceiling pendant by Stilnovo Studio, combining mid-century modern form with purposeful light distribution. Six radially arranged arms each carry a signature diabolo-shaped shade — the hourglass silhouette — producing twelve light points in total, alternating upward and downward across the room. Decorative perforations at each shade rim allow pinpoints of light to escape, creating a subtle starlight effect on surrounding surfaces. The fixture is rated IP20, confirming it is suitable for dry interior environments.

The frame, arms, and canopy are finished in polished gold-toned metal, providing high-contrast definition against the shades. The Megafono is available in two shade finishes: Glossy Black and Ivory — both reading differently against the gold metalwork and suited to distinct interior palettes. Glossy Black heightens the retro-modern contrast; Ivory softens the overall composition.

The Megafono is designed for hardwired ceiling installation via a matching gold-finished canopy. Lamp type and driver requirements should be confirmed at point of specification to ensure dimming compatibility with your chosen control system. Stilnovo carries a 2-year product warranty.
