Design Series: The Art of Kitchen Lighting

A home’s kitchen is its culinary and communal heart, and the island bench is the central point around which people gather and the home’s architectural and design elements pivot. Pendant lighting draws the eye and brings a sense of refinement to this fundamental space, conjuring the perfect atmosphere for the ritual of a nightly family meal, or a dinner party made memorable for all the right reasons.

Based in Melbourne and New York City, renowned lighting designer Articolo Studios celebrates the art of kitchen island lighting with a curated selection of artisan pendants created from luxurious materials including mouth-blown glass and precious metals.

Suspended between horizontal planes and the two spaces designated as the heart of the home, pendant lighting has the unique capacity to unify the design dialogues between the home’s culinary and living spaces.

From the clandestine curves of delicate orbs to the salient presence of opalescent glass paired with precious metal hardware, lighting is a unifying force in the kitchen.

The Moni pendant is defined by its fluid form created using a handcrafted artisanal technique refined over generations.

Seen as an integral element to kitchen design when viewed from the living or dining space and vice versa, the gentle translucent presence of illuminated glass can temper strong design elements in the surrounding space, distilling them to the purity of light itself.
