The Kabuki Pendant Lamp is a breathtaking exercise in light and shadow. Designed by Ferruccio Laviani, it translates the grandeur of traditional lace into a high-tech, industrial masterpiece. While it looks like a delicate, hand-woven fiber creation, it is actually the result of sophisticated injection molding—a signature feat of Kartell’s engineering. Suspended from the ceiling, the Kabuki becomes a sculptural focal point, diffusing light through its intricate, perforated "skin." The lamp is defined by its pierced, hollow structure. Laviani used a complex technique to create a surface that mimics a crochet or lace pattern. When the lamp is switched on, this perforated texture projects a stunning array of geometric shadows across the room, creating an atmosphere that is both dramatic and intimate. A modern silhouette inspired by the curves of the Baroque era, reimagined through a contemporary, transparent lens. The perforated thermoplastic material filters the light, reducing glare and casting a soft, decorative glow throughout the space. Made from a single piece of transparent or batch-dyed thermoplastic technopolymer, showcasing Kartell’s ability to create complex 3D shapes. Perfectly suited for hanging over a dining table, in a grand entryway, or as a statement piece in a master bedroom. "The Kabuki pendant lamp is an optical illusion. It appears fragile and artisanal, but it is born from the most advanced industrial technology. It is where the history of textiles meets the future of light."
