Foscarini Chouchin Pendant

The Foscarini Chouchin Pendant, designed by Ionna Vautrin for the Chouchin range, is a sculptural ceiling pendant that pairs painted blown glass with a white blown-glass base. The family explores contrast between coloured and white glass and is intended primarily for interior suspension use.

Visually the Chouchin pendant uses an elongated, capsule-shaped shade finished in a deep olive, high-gloss paint that creates a strong colour anchor in a room. The range is available in multiple shapes and colours across the Chouchin family, making it suitable for single features or multiple grouped compositions.

Construction combines a painted blown-glass body with a white blown-glass lower element that forms a clear visual contrast. The fixture is suspended from a thin, straight wire with a separate, sinuous power cable running alongside it, a detail that separates structural support from the electrical/décor line.

The white lower component acts as the diffuser and directs illumination downwards, giving the pendant a focused downlight characteristic while the painted shade controls glare and silhouette. With an IP20 rating the pendant is intended for dry, indoor zones such as living rooms, dining areas and above kitchen islands when positioned outside splash zones.

Installation is by ceiling suspension using the provided suspension wire and cable; product comes with a one-year manufacturer warranty. Check the specific product listing for lamp or driver details and any dimming compatibility as these are model dependent.
