Innovative ways to arrange pendant lamps
Have you ever wondered why the Nordic countries produce such exceptional lighting design? One reason might be the darkness. We know what it is like when the pitch-black veil of the northern winter descends over villages and cities, blocking out even the faintest glimmers of daylight. That is when well-lit indoor spaces become essential – warm and inviting oases in the heart of winter. The dining table often serves as the centrepiece of this retreat, with overhanging pendant lamp arrangements bringing blissful comfort through light.
Hanging similar pendant lamps above a dining table creates a classic ensemble.
If you are seeking timeless elegance, consider hanging several identical lamps side by side above the table. However, if you dare to combine lamps of different shapes, sizes, and colours, you can elevate the ambience of the space to a whole new level.
This arrangement with Petite, Atto, and Puncto models offers an intriguing blend of elegance and harmony.
You can create a sense of harmony and symmetry by using just a single type of pendant lamp, but a more interesting option is to align different lamp models at the same level.
The neutral finishes of Secto Design lamps – birch, white, black, and walnut – have been carefully chosen to complement one another. While the finishes are most distinct in daylight, the differences soften when the lights are switched on.
A relaxed ambience created by Secto, Victo, Secto Small, and Kontro pendant lamps.
For a more casual grouping, try hanging different or identical lamp models at varying heights, or using the same lamps in different sizes.
All Secto Design lamps are designed to complement one another and can be freely combined. On our website, you can even find a Mix & Match tool that allows you to experiment with combinations to find the perfect fit for your interior design.
The light beams of different pendant lamp models have subtle variations: for example, the conical Secto offers a more focused beam, while the open Kontro provides a broader spread. These differences allow for a refined interplay of light and shadow. Thanks to the carefully considered designs by architect Seppo Koho, the lights never cause glare. Light diffuses softly through the airy structure of the shades, reflecting off the inviting tones of birch wood on the inner surface.
The dynamic beauty of round and vertical shapes with Victo Small, Secto Small, and Octo models. All our lamps are handmade from PEFC-certified birch in Finland by highly skilled craftspeople.
If you are looking for a more experimental and dynamic look above the dining table, try combining round and vertical shapes, such as Octo and Secto models in different sizes. Although they can create a striking arrangement, Secto Design lamps do not dominate the interior but blend seamlessly into any setting.
While everyone enduring winter craves light, some prefer a warm and cosy colour temperature, whereas others opt for a bright and cool tone. The new CorePro bulb from Signify allows you to adjust the light’s colour temperature to your personal preference using a switch at the base of the bulb. We now supply this bulb with nearly all Secto Design lamps with an E27 base.
As you arrange your pendant lamps to brighten the winter months, remember that our airy pendants remain beautiful decorative elements even when summer arrives and they are no longer needed for light.
