Inspired by ruffled organza silk, the new Gossamer Pendant by Kalco Lighting features a textured layering of flat pieces of raw Capiz shell. The wooden Gmelina bead spaces add visual lines to the soft, yet structured design, which is offered in an oxidized gold leaf finish and equipped with an eight-foot chain.
The fixture is one of several designs – from chandeliers and floor lamps to pendants and wall sconces – that are being released at the Dallas and Las Vegas markets during the month of January 2024. The new Kalco collections are characterized by abstract representations of vining wisteria, organic ripples in water and flowering buds to create a growth-like movement as well as champagne gold and solid brass. Handcrafted with materials found in nature, the collections combine intricate detail with emerging design trends, such as softer lines and iridescent shimmer, to create a warm, yet vibrant ambiance in the home.
Art deco influences, earthy neutral tones, natural materials and brass and gold finishes tell the story of Kalco this season. Some of the pieces are made with natural alabaster to showcase the unique layering found in the stone and others are modern, sculptural interpretations of banana leaves and waterfalls, yet each fixture has the ability to infuse warmth and beauty into our surroundings.
