Louis Poulsen Patera Oval Chandelier 50 cm white pvc

The Patera Oval is part of the Patera pendant family, designed by Øivind Slaatto and launched in collaboration with Louis Poulsen in 2015. The Patera pendant is a modern take on the classic chandelier and brings a bright focal point with soft, dynamics in contemporary spaces. The Patera's 360-degree glare-free lighting is the result of a complex design of differently positioned cells that bathe the surrounding space, people and objects in uniform, natural and pleasant light. With its elegant shape from every angle and its structure based on the Fibonacci sequence, the lamp makes a different impression from any observation point. "My goal was to create a three-dimensional sudoku. High level mathematics. It's the most complex lamp I've ever made... I think it has a certain poetry and my goal was to make a modern crystal chandelier. I would like people to felt inspired to move around this lamp. I hope it generates life" (Øivind Slaatto) With the Patera Oval, Øivind Slaatto and Louis Poulsen aimed to create a suspension with a light and minimalist shape for a timeless, yet modern and functional luminaire that can be used in spaces with low ceilings. The Patera Oval is based on the same principles and eye-catching hand-woven pattern as the classic Patera – however, it does not constitute a sphere, but a flat circular shape that looks like an oval from the side, inspired by the organic shapes of an ellipsoid. The Patera Oval has a circular opening to optimize direct light to the surface below with a soft transition to reflected light. With its flat, minimalist design, the Patera Oval is aimed at spaces with limited ceiling heights or where maximum height is required. The pendant is also perfect for hanging high above or above a dining table to create a feeling of spaciousness between the table and the ceiling.

- THE OVAL PATERA IS AN ATTRACTIVE SUSPENSION WITH A DIAMETER OF 50 CENTIMETERS THAT GIVES A DISTINCTIVE TREAT TO CONFERENCE ROOMS, HOTEL OR LOBBY.

- THE TIMELESS PATERA OVAL FOLLOWS THE SAME ELEGANT DESIGN PRINCIPLES AS THE CIRCULAR PATERA AND IS ASSEMBLED ENTIRELY BY HAND FOLLOWING THE MATHEMATICAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPELLING FIBONACCI SPIRAL.

The Patera Oval is a lamp elegant from every angle, its structure based on the Fibonacci sequence gives a different impression from any observation point. The suspension is composed of carefully designed diamond-shaped cells that reflect glare-free light when viewing the lamp from an angle greater than 40 degrees, while emitting a 360-degree natural, uniform and pleasant light that floods the surrounding spaces, people and objects.

Lighting system

The suspension is a luminous ellipsoid composed of diamond-shaped cells . Each cell has been carefully designed to capture the light and shield the source from observation angles greater than 40 degrees. Below 40 degrees the lamp allows direct, downward light. The circular opening below provides direct light with a soft transition to reflected light. The suspension can be used with or without a diffusion plate, whether or not you want the source to create an unwanted reflection.
