Contardi Calypso Pendant

Contardi Calypso Pendant, designed by Servomuto, is a decorative ceiling pendant from the Calypso range. The design references mid‑century and Art Deco cues while functioning as a distinctive focal light for interior ceilings.

The pendant uses a multi‑tiered, hat‑like shade assembly topped by a velvet‑like cap, a patterned woven conical section and a wide black base, all linked by a slender gold‑toned metal loop. It is offered in multiple appearances: Building, Yellow and Black.

Construction combines a thick twisted rope suspension and textile shades with a gold‑toned metal rim and a faceted crystal finial at the base. A large textured pom‑pom sits at the junction between rope and hardware, reinforcing the fitting's accessory‑inspired aesthetic.

The layered fabric shade is configured to diffuse light through its different textures while directing illumination primarily downwards, giving controlled ambient and task emphasis beneath the fitting. The crystal finial provides a small point of light refraction for added visual interest.

This product is rated IP20 and intended for interior, dry spaces. The pendant is ceiling‑suspended from its decorative rope; lamps, driver and dimming compatibility are listed on the technical specification sheet — please refer to the product specification for those details. The fitting carries a 1 year warranty.
