CVL Luminaires Nacho Pendant

The CVL Luminaires Nacho Pendant, designed by Sylvain Willenz, is a sculptural ceiling light that assembles several distinct elements along a single horizontal line. The composition pairs a frosted opal globe, a mountain-like metal silhouette and a large brushed-gold disc to create a graphic, landscape-inspired profile suitable for interior decorative and ambient illumination.

Formally confident, the Nacho plays with asymmetry and layered planes. The horizontal black metal rod supports a small white frosted sphere and a central undulating plate, with a large circular brushed-gold plate set behind — the result is a balanced but irregular visual composition that reads as a piece of lighting sculpture. The pendant is supplied without finish-specific variants listed.

Constructed in metal with an opal-finished globe, the fitting is finished in a palette of matte black, brushed gold/brass and opal white. The canopy is a rectangular black metal box that contains the electrical connections and provides a clean ceiling termination. The fixture is suspended by two slim height-adjustable cables that also carry power to the horizontal bar.

Light is delivered in two complementary ways: an integrated LED strip located behind the central silhouette casts light forward onto the gold disc to produce a warm reflected glow, while the spherical diffuser offers a secondary point of direct light along the horizontal axis. The integrated strip is rated 670 lm, 2700 K and 20 W; the design also accepts two G4 lamps (max 3 W each), which are not supplied. The pendant is IP20 and intended for indoor use.

Practical installation notes: 24 V and 12 V supplies are integrated within the canopy to support the pendant's internal electronics. The fitting carries a two-year manufacturer warranty. As an interior decorative piece, it is best specified where ambient layered light and an architectural silhouette are required.
