Dar Achates Pendant

The Dar Achates Pendant is a sculptural ceiling light from the Achates range, combining a mid-century sputnik form with natural agate slices. Designed as an indoor ambient fitting, it acts as a central visual focal point while delivering warm, textural light.

The design uses a spherical central hub with multiple radiating arms finished in polished brass or gold tones, each terminating in a thin, irregular agate slice. The arrangement creates a three-dimensional composition that reads equally well over dining tables, in living rooms or in reception spaces.

Each decorative shade is a polished slice of natural agate, showing concentric banding and crystalline textures in tones of green, teal, cream, brown and beige. Every stone is unique and is secured with a small spherical metal fastener at the arm tip, emphasising the craft detail.

Multiple light sockets are integrated into the central core so light passes through and around the translucent agate, accentuating the internal textures and creating layered ambience. The fitting is intended for dry, internal spaces and carries an IP20 rating.

The pendant is suspended from a matching circular canopy by a clear cable and thin metal support, allowing the height to be adjusted for flat ceilings. Specific lamp types and driver/transformer details are not provided in the basic data set; check the product technical sheet or contact us for lamp compatibility, dimming guidance and installation requirements.
