1. Midnight Gloss Pendant

We’re starting strong with a pendant light that commands attention with its sleek teardrop silhouette, high-gloss black finish, and shiny copper accent. Its reflective surface diffuses surrounding light, making it ideal for busy spaces such as the kitchen or dining room.

Its dark finish contrasts beautifully against lighter cabinetry or countertops making it an excellent choice for industrial styles. This pendant light is part of our Midnight Collection composed of the same glossy shade but in different forms - chandelier, floor lamp, table lamp, and wall light.

We have yet another minimalist piece on our list. What makes this pendant light exceptional is its compact cylindrical figure and metallic golden finish emanating modern sophistication. It lends a warm radiance perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere for your bedroom or dining area.

This fixture can be considered as a mini pendant light as it only measures about 12 inches in height. As such, we suggest hanging it in an array or cluster to provide a more dramatic feel and ensure sufficient illumination throughout the whole area needing lighting.
