Patera Oval Pendant | Louis Poulsen

Patera Oval is a new poetic and timeless take on the circular Patera that was designed by Øivind Slaatto in 2015. Just as with the original circular lamp, the Patera Oval is assembled entirely by hand, following the mathematic structure of Fibonacci’s spiral. The flat circular shape forms an ellipsoid, which is perfect above dining tables, where headroom is required, or for hanging high up in the most spacious of venues.

The pendant is made up of diamond-shaped cells where each cell is carefully designed to reflect glare-free light when viewed from an angle of above 40 degrees – all while it emits a 360 degrees illumination that bathes surrounding spaces, people and objects in a natural, even and pleasing light.
The round opening underneath provides direct light, with a soft transition to the reflected light from the cells, making the pendant perfectly suited to hanging above dining tables, as the flat oval shape allows for easy eye contact below the shade, as well as providing ideal light across the table.
