Bijou LED Pendant Light by Antoni Arola for Santa & Cole

Bijou, French for jewel, is exactly that: a small, glossy object of light hung on a fine cable. Antoni Arola gave it a lacquer-like shine in creme white or pure red so it reads as an ornament as much as a lamp.
The Design Story
Antoni Arola, one of Barcelona's most poetic lighting designers, created Bijou for Santa & Cole in 2022. His work often treats light as a material to be shaped, and here he concentrates it in a compact metallic body with a deep, glossy finish. The lamp comes in two scales: the S, barely 15 cm (6 in) tall, and the L, almost 50 cm (19.4 in) across in height and width. Both carry a built-in LED that is dimmable, and both hang from a slim white canopy that hides the power supply. The result is a pendant that feels precious without being fussy.
About the Designer
Barcelona designer Antoni Arola treats light as his raw material. Winner of Spain’s National Design Prize in 2003, he has created some of Santa & Cole’s most recognisable families, from the porcelain Cirio to Lámina, Nimba, Moaré and the Shiro lanterns.
Why You'll Love It
- Designed by Antoni Arola for Santa & Cole in 2022
- Glossy creme white or pure red metallic finish
- Two scales, from a jewel-sized S to a statement L
- Integrated dimmable LED, nothing to replace or source
- Slim round canopy with the power supply built in
Made for Real Life
The LED is built in and dimmable on a 1-10V control, so the glow can drop to a soft accent in the evening. The glossy surface reflects the room around it, and it wipes clean with a soft cloth. The S is light at 1.1 kg (2.4 lb), the L weighs 4 kg (8.8 lb). Wipe the glossy finish with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid ammonia, solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can mark the lacquer.

Where It Shines
Hang a cluster of S pendants at different heights over a bedside or a bar, or let a single red L be the focal point above a round dining table. White suits pale oak and stone; red brings a jolt of color to a monochrome room.
Who This Is Not For
Dimming needs a 1-10V dimmer, which is not included and must be wired by an electrician. If you want a broad, bright general light, a single S will be too small on its own.
