Design For The People Stay Pendant

The Design For The People Stay Pendant, designed by Maria Berntsen, is a three‑arm ceiling pendant in the Stay range. Its oblique, conical shades and central upward-facing element create a calm, multi-directional light that suits dining tables and living areas where atmosphere matters.

Formally the pendant reads as a study in clean geometry: three flared cones branch from a central hub while a slender suspension cable keeps the profile minimal. The oblique cut of each shade is intentional, allowing generous downward illumination while the hub returns light upwards.

The exterior is presented in a uniform matte black with a satin-soft, non-reflective texture across the canopy, arms and shades. The construction highlights simple, industrial cues and careful proportion rather than decorative detail.

Light is delivered both downwards through the conical shades for local task light and upwards from the central cylinder to wash the ceiling for ambient illumination. The fitting accepts E27 lamps (G45 profiles referenced) and will perform as ambient or primary lighting depending on lamp choice and lumen output.

Install as a ceiling-mounted pendant from the supplied canopy; the long, thin suspension cable suits a minimalist hanging aesthetic. IP20 rating indicates indoor use only. Bulbs are not supplied — choose E27 lamps and a dimmable option plus a compatible dimmer if variable output is required. Warranty varies (listed 2–15 years).

We provide the technical clarity and project-friendly notes you need to select appropriate lamps and dimming so the finished ambience is both intentional and dependable.
