Méltemi - Woven Rattan Pendant light
Product details
A suspended straw hat silhouette, wide and asymmetrical, with wavy edges as if lifted by a gust of wind. The fine rattan weave radiates from a central cone into a flat, flared brim, slightly distorted on one side. The fiber, blond and tightly woven near the top, becomes more open around the edges, allowing light to shine through. A small light wood cap connects it to the black cable.
The Woven Rattan pendant light Méltémi takes its name from the wind that blows across the Aegean Sea in summer, its shape echoing the flexibility of a hat caught in the breeze.
Once switched on, the light radiates from the central cone and glides toward the edges, becoming more diffuse as it passes through the more densely woven areas. The shade turns warm honey, particularly vivid at the top and more subdued across the hat's brim. The asymmetrical shape creates an uneven projection on the ceiling, with one side brighter than the other. In a room, the piece introduces movement, as though frozen in mid-flight.
An asymmetrical pendant light shaped like a finely woven rattan hat
At thirty centimeters wide and eighteen centimeters high, the woven rattan pendant light occupies a moderate volume, enough to become a focal point without overwhelming the space. Its flattened, distorted silhouette works particularly well in rooms where an object is needed to break away from the classic geometry of light fixtures. The weave, densely worked near the top and gradually more open toward the edges, creates a visually rich effect.

A plant-fiber light fixture for a summery, seaside atmosphere
The meltemi is a seasonal wind that sweeps across the Cyclades from June to September and has shaped the Greek islands' way of life: shaded terraces, woven baskets, and wide straw hats for protection from the sun. This rattan pendant light visually draws on this summery vocabulary without becoming a folkloric costume. In an open-plan kitchen or above a counter, it adds organic texture among harder materials such as stone or metal. In a dining room, suspended above a light wood table, it complements a contemporary Mediterranean atmosphere.
In a bedroom, the weave filters the light into irregular patterns that drift across the walls at sunset. In a living room, suspended above an armchair, it defines an area without partitioning it. The rattan retains its blond tone, its irregularities, and its slightly offset strands. A living material, suspended in the air.
