The Welsh designer gets his inspiration from nature, so his designs are characterized by soft curves, including the Mercury Sospensione. The name of the pendant is not a coincidence: the single shiny drops like small globules of mercury. The large Mercury Sospensione ensures not only in the ON state for a unique lighting atmosphere. It also reflects the light in interesting play of light again, when it is off. If you like the pendant light is too large, there is the Mercury as a ceiling light.
