Satellite Pendant by Gubi

Designed in 1953 by Mathieu Matégot the Satellite pendant is made by using Matégot’s own groundbreaking technique called Rigitulle. Conceiving the idea during the Second World War whilst he was a prisoner of war, Rigitulle is the combination of metal tubing and perforated metal sheets—creating a lightweight, lasting material that can be bent and moulded into any sort of shape. The transparent effect of the material, gives any piece of lighting or furniture a sense of modernity and lightness that is everlasting.

This pendant showcases the aesthetic pleasure of this material, with the spherical shape and the metal “top hat” creating a fun, interesting and playful light that works well in both home and work environments. Available in 2 sizes and 3 colours, this light works wonderfully when clustered with others to create a striking light feature. To really impress, use many of these pendants to cover your entire ceiling.
