CVL Luminaires Paradoxe Chandelier
The CVL Luminaires Paradoxe Chandelier, designed by Emilie Cathelineau, is a modern ceiling-mounted chandelier that pairs a skeletal metal frame with luminous flexible loops to deliver decorative, diffused ambient light. The fixture's visual language balances linear metal arms and soft, sagging catenary tubes to create a contemporary centrepiece for indoor spaces.
Formally the design uses six horizontal arms radiating from a central hub to form a star-shaped frame, with six vertical cylindrical sleeves at each arm end. Thin black suspension cables provide structural support and allow the outer ring to appear to float. The Paradoxe is offered in Satin Brass, Satin Graphite, Satin Nickel, and Satin Copper.
Construction is predominantly metal with a brushed brass / gold-toned appearance on the visible components. A central cylindrical ceiling canopy mounts flush to the ceiling and integrates the fixture's mounting points. The design reads lightweight on the ceiling thanks to its open-frame construction and delicate supporting cables.
Light is delivered by the off-white flexible tubes that form sagging catenary loops between the hub and outer sleeves; these loops act as the primary light source, suggesting an integrated LED system rather than discrete bulbs. The result is an even, soft ambient wash well suited to rooms that benefit from a sculptural, atmospheric centrepiece.
The central canopy houses the electrical connections and mounting hardware for a hardwired installation. The product data supplied does not specify whether a driver, lamps or dimming compatibility are included; please consult the technical specification or contact us for exact installation and control details. The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty.
At Lighting Design Online we present the Paradoxe as more than a fitting: it is a considered lighting choice that shapes ambience while remaining architecturally clear. We can advise on placement, control and integration to ensure a confident, project-friendly outcome and long-term professional assurance for your scheme.
