Stilnovo Megafono Chandelier

Choosing a statement chandelier for a large room or dining space comes with a real risk: a piece that looks striking in isolation but fails to work with the room once installed. Scale, light distribution, and finish contrast all need to align — and that decision is harder than it looks on a product page.

For a fixture like this, what matters most is understanding how it casts light and what kind of ambience it creates. Open-ended shades distribute light both upward toward the ceiling and downward into the space — a behaviour that reads very differently from a shade that focuses light in only one direction. Paired with perforated detailing, the result is layered: direct light plus decorative pinpoints of scattered warmth across surrounding surfaces.

The Stilnovo Megafono Chandelier is a multi-arm ceiling fixture designed by Stilnovo Studio. Its eight horizontal arms radiate in a Sputnik configuration from a central hub, each holding a double-conical diabolo-shaped shade. The polished brass metalwork — canopy, downrod, arms, and collar details — creates a deliberate contrast against the opaque shades. Small circular perforations near the upper and lower rims of each shade allow pinpoints of light to escape, adding a decorative visual layer when illuminated. The fixture is rated IP20, making it suitable for dry interior spaces.

The Megafono is available in two shade finishes: Glossy Black or Ivory. Both sit against the same polished gold-tone metalwork, offering a choice between high-contrast drama and a softer, more tonal composition. The rigid downrod and fixed arm geometry suit generous ceiling heights in living rooms, dining rooms, or entrance halls where the fixture can be appreciated at scale.

The Megafono is an IP20-rated interior fixture and should be installed in dry locations only. Specific lamp compatibility, driver requirements, and electrical connection details should be confirmed at the point of specification — our team can advise on the right light source to match your dimming setup and desired colour temperature.

At Lightsource Studio, we work with you to make sure a piece this considered lands correctly in your project. That means confirming ceiling height suitability, coordinating lead times, and aligning the specification with your control and dimming requirements before anything is ordered. The Megafono is the kind of fixture that rewards careful placement — and we are here to make sure it gets it.
