Foscarini Chouchin Pendant

The Foscarini Chouchin Pendant, designed by Ionna Vautrin, is a sculptural ceiling pendant from the Chouchin range. The design plays on colour-blocking and simple organic form, pairing a blown, high-gloss body with a contrasting white lower collar to give a distinctive, contemporary profile.

Chouchin’s form is intentionally soft and pill-like: a squashed spherical glass shade sits above a smaller opaque white collar which becomes a ring of light. The pendant is available in Orange and White appearance options and works well as a single focal piece or in multiple compositions for layered schemes.

The shade is made from translucent blown glass with a reflective, high-gloss surface that emphasises the saturated body colour. A small white cap marks the suspension point and the design highlights a serpentine electrical cord that winds alongside a straight tension wire — a crafted detail that reinforces the pendant’s expressive silhouette.

Light is delivered as a warm, diffused ambient glow through the translucent glass while the white collar helps to hide the lamp and defines the lower rim of the fitting. Chouchin is intended for interior ambient illumination and, with an IP20 rating, is suitable for dry indoor spaces only.

Note the product carries a one-year warranty and suspends from a thin tension wire with a visible electrical cord; check ceiling fixing and drop length at specification stage. Lamp, driver and dimming details should be confirmed from the technical sheet or with our team to ensure compatibility with your installation.
