Santa & Cole Tekiò Pendant

The Santa & Cole Tekiò Pendant, designed by Anthony Dickens, is a horizontal ceiling pendant that layers a minimalist metal structure with handcrafted washi Japanese paper to deliver soft, diffused ambient illumination across a wide plane.

The design reads as a long, segmented cylinder with tapered end caps and visible junctions between sections. Its horizontal orientation and modular construction make it well suited to run above dining tables, kitchen islands or desks. It is offered with two canopy appearances: Circular and Rectangular.

Construction combines a white S&C metal structure with a matt finish and a translucent washi paper shade that shows a fine, horizontal ribbed texture. A polycarbonate inner diffuser sits within the paper shade to refine the light and control glare, while thin suspension cables preserve the pendant’s clean silhouette.

The shade and inner diffuser work together to produce a warm, softened glow. The fitting offers warm-dim control (2200K–2700K) and is suitable for 1–10V dimming. The horizontal form spreads diffused ambient light evenly along its length, making it effective for task-adjacent zones where balanced light is required.

The canopy houses the power supply so wiring is contained in the ceiling component; an external 1–10V dimmer is required for dimming and is not included. The pendant is rated IP20 for interior use and is supplied with a two-year manufacturer warranty. Refer to the technical specification for exact installation requirements and wiring details.

At Lighting Design Online we treat the Tekiò as a design-led solution: the material choice, the diffusing inner lens and the warm-dim control are deliberate decisions to create calm, balanced ambience. We provide clear specification support and project-friendly guidance so the pendant integrates correctly with dimming systems and yields a reliable, high-quality result in considered interiors.
