Resident Cast Pendant
The Resident Cast Pendant, designed by Philippe Malouin, is a large modular ceiling pendant made from fibreglass and fibre-reinforced polymer. Manufactured in New Zealand, Cast uses specially formulated clean resins and an integrated LED source to deliver architectural ambient illumination suitable for domestic and commercial spaces.
Cast’s form reads as a bold horizontal architectural element: an elongated, racetrack-like frame with a hollow centre composed of pre-cast straight and curved segments. The system is offered as Oblong and Round as standard and can be combined into other configurations to suit a specific ceiling layout.
Construction emphasises the material character of fibre-reinforced polymer. The translucent body reveals a subtle layered texture when lit and vertical joinery lines with discreet metallic fasteners are part of the aesthetic. The result is a substantial-looking yet lightweight assembly.
Light is delivered by an integrated warm LED that produces a continuous, even glow through the translucent fibreglass, creating soft, diffused ambient illumination. The pendant’s scale and translucency allow it to function as a feature architectural light while maintaining balanced, glare-controlled ambience.
Cast is suspended from slim cables that attach to the top inner and outer rims of the frame, and its modular design allows for site-specific sizing. The fixture is backed by a three-year warranty; please consult technical documentation for specification details such as dimming or driver requirements before installation.
At Lighting Design Online we recommend Cast where a material-led, sculptural ambient pendant will define a space. Our guidance helps you choose the right configuration and ensure a considered outcome, backed by project-friendly support and reassurance about construction and long-term quality.
