Lightsource Chimera Pendant
The Lightsource Chimera Pendant is a large-scale pendant from the Chimera range by Lightsource. Drawing on 1960s creative patterns, the fitting is formed from modular Murano glass listels fixed to a metal frame and intended as a sculptural ambient light for high-ceiling spaces such as foyers, stairwells and grand dining rooms.
The pendant has an elongated, tapered silhouette that narrows to a gentle point; its exterior is composed of hundreds of overlapping rectangular panels arranged in dense, vertical tiers. The layered 'shingle' composition obscures direct glare while producing a sinuous, dynamic surface. The cool grey and silver tones of the glass shift to a warm internal glow when lit, and the modular construction can be customised and scaled for monumental installations.
Each glass listel is handcrafted and fixed to the structure with chromed screws, a detailing that reinforces the fixture's tactile pattern. The pendant is suspended from a small circular ceiling canopy by a thin suspension cable and separate power cord, which emphasises a refined vertical presence in rooms with height.
Internal light sources are distributed vertically within the frame, creating multiple points of concentrated light that diffuse through the translucent panels. The result is a soft, dappled ambient illumination that reduces glare while creating depth and subtle shadow, making the Chimera ideal where atmosphere and form are equally important.
The Chimera Pendant is rated IP20 for indoor use and is supplied with a standard suspension canopy. Manufacturer's warranty is 1 year. Because the fixture is modular and can be produced in large sizes, consult our projects team or a lighting professional for specification, mounting and wiring requirements.
At Lighting Design Online we present the Chimera as a design-led solution for ambitious interiors where light must perform and look considered. We offer clear guidance on scale, finish and installation to ensure a high-quality outcome and provide project-friendly support when a customised or monumental version is required.
