Sometimes a pendant doesn’t need to fill a room to command it. ✨

The Exhaust Pendant by Buster + Punch, suspended low above a kitchen island in a space that knows exactly what it’s doing. Dark marble, warm timber, white cabinetry and track lighting doing the functional work overhead, while the Exhaust drops in as a single considered accent. That cross-knurl baffle detail is the kind of thing you only notice up close, and then you can’t stop noticing it.

A precise, low-glare directional beam from a honeycomb filter, a powder-coated body in Graphite or Stone, and four baffle finishes to choose from: Brass, Steel, Smoked Bronze, and Black. The kind of fitting that works in new builds and character spaces equally well. 🤍

We’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. Both sizes of the Dancing Pendant by Audo Copenhagen are now in our Cambridge working studio, and honestly, nothing quite prepares you for seeing it in person. ✨

The way the recycled polyester felt looks, the shadow it casts, the sheer scale of the larger size. It’s one of those pieces that photographs beautifully and then somehow exceeds expectations when you’re standing next to it.

Designed by Iskos-Berlin, inspired by a dancer’s pleated skirt caught mid-twirl. If you’ve been sitting on this one, come in and see it for yourself. We think you’ll make up your mind pretty quickly. 🤍

Terracotta has arrived. And it was worth the wait. 🧡

Robert Gordon have just added Terracotta to their Box and Curve wall lights, and honestly it might be our favourite glaze yet. High-fired Australian clay from the Melbourne workshop, with that warm, earthy depth that only comes from ceramic fired at temperature. Each piece carries its own natural variation in shade and texture, so no two are exactly alike.

Both forms are available alongside twelve other glazes ranging from the soft neutrality of Stone and Bone through to the deeper tones of Storm and Shale. Made to order in Melbourne, with a 4 to 6 week lead time. ✨

The bathroom deserves the same consideration as every other room in the house. ✨

The Capsühl Linear in Matte Black, suspended above the vanity and reflected back through the mirror. That warm glow against marble and matte black hardware is exactly the kind of detail that elevates a bathroom from functional to genuinely beautiful.

Designed and made in New Zealand, custom specified to your space. Available in five finishes with a 6 to 8 week lead time. 🤍

Good dining table lighting is everything. The Mono Pendant by DCW éditions makes a very strong case. ✨

Designed by Studio Vantot, it’s a flat disc of dark grey aluminium and sandblasted glass that hovers above a dining table with a quiet architectural confidence. The form is deceptively simple. The light it produces is soft, even, and warm at 2700K. And that dimmer rod hanging below the disc lets you adjust the light directly at the table, which is a small detail that makes a lot of sense in practice.

Available in three sizes, M400, L500, and L600. Beautiful as a single piece, and even better grouped at varying heights above a long dining table, as you can see here. 🤍

Imported to order from France, with international shipping included in the price. Discover the Mono Pendant via the DCW éditions link in our bio.

Some designs don’t need reinventing. They just need to keep being made properly. ✨

The Lampe Gras N°304 by DCW éditions was originally designed by Bernard-Albin Gras in 1921, and the version you can buy today is built on exactly the same screw-free, weld-free mechanical principles as the original. Over a century later, it still directs light with quiet confidence and looks completely at home in a contemporary interior.

Available in two shade shapes, Conic and Round, across eleven colour finishes including Black, Brass, Copper, Red, Chrome and White with Copper Interior. The kind of wall light that works beside a bed, alongside a bathroom mirror, in a hallway, or in a kitchen without ever feeling out of place. 🤍

This wasn’t on my radar to post today, but I couldn’t keep it to myself.✨

The Lampe C Pendant by DCW éditions, designed by Thierry Dreyfus. It takes the silhouette of the most classic chandelier form and rebuilds it entirely in stainless steel chain. No glass, no crystal. Just 6,400 interlocking links that catch and scatter light in a way that feels both completely contemporary and somehow timeless.

We have one on its way to us right now. If you want to see this one in person, get in touch and we’ll let you know when it arrives. 🤍

There’s a reason some lights get copied. DCW éditions is one of them. ✨

Founded in Paris, built on the belief that design should be made properly - with the right materials, by the right people, for the right reasons. Every piece traces back to a designer with a name and a philosophy. None of it is accidental.

It started with a lamp in 1921. Le Corbusier had one. Matisse had one. 🕯️

You can now explore a curated selection of DCW éditions in New Zealand - through Social Light.
