Patera 600 Pendant by Louis Poulsen is the large-format version of Øivind Slaatto's Fibonacci-derived globe pendant, in which the entire surface geometry — the position and inclination of every oval opal aperture — follows the logarithmic spiral of the nautilus shell mapped across a sphere. At 600mm in diameter the Patera becomes a genuinely architectural pendant, commanding in any ceiling position and scaled for high-ceilinged domestic spaces, restaurant dining rooms, hotel lobbies and retail environments where a spherical pendant of considerable visual presence is the specification intent.
The increased diameter of the Patera 600 amplifies the complexity of the surface pattern: the apertures are more numerous and their arrangement more richly varied across the globe surface, producing a denser and more intricate light-and-shadow pattern on surrounding walls and ceiling when the pendant is lit. The warm, diffuse quality of the opal acrylic apertures softens this effect, creating an atmospheric rather than dramatic result — comfortable, enveloping ambient light from a pendant that also reads as a strong visual object. The Patera 600's scale makes it effective as a single statement pendant or in paired configurations.
Architects and interior designers specifying the Patera 600 will find the DWG drawing and CAD block essential for ceiling clearance planning and spatial scale assessment. The 3D model and Revit family support BIM documentation; the IFC file enables coordinated delivery with consultants. A strong specification for high-specification residential, hospitality and commercial projects requiring a large-scale pendant with rigorous design provenance.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing, 3D model, Revit file and IFC file.
