Cacio&Pepe S Pendant or Wall Light by In-es.artdesign

Cacio&Pepe S by In-es.artdesign is the Cacio&Pepe cheese-grater shape hung from a colored cable, as a pendant or a wall light. It is designed by Oçilunam and made to order in Ariccia, just outside Rome.

Be.Pop is the playful side of In-es.artdesign: shapes borrowed from the kitchen and the candle box, molded in Laprene, a soft, colored rubber that feels almost velvety to the touch, then hung from a colored cable you choose to match or clash.

The Design Story

In-es.artdesign was founded in 2003 by the Italian artist and designer Oçilunam to bring art and design together in light. The studio works with craft-inspired techniques, balancing light and shadow with pure color and contrasting textures, and makes every piece in Italy under strict quality control. The Cacio&Pepe S belongs to the Be.Pop collection.

Why You'll Love It

Hung over a dining table, a kitchen island or a stair void, the Cacio&Pepe S turns the ceiling into a focal point. The light falls softly, without glare, because the shade itself becomes the source.

Laprene is soft and slightly velvety to the touch, and its color runs all the way through, so the Cacio&Pepe S keeps its bright, matte look whether the light is on or off.

Choose from 9 options in the cable color menu above; each tile shows the color combination. Screens show color a little differently than real life, and the hand-finished surface varies slightly from piece to piece.

Made for Real Life

We supply the Cacio&Pepe S with a UL-listed cable for US installation; the bulb is sold separately so you can choose your own color temperature.

Questions We Hear Most

What is the Cacio&Pepe S made of?

The Cacio&Pepe S is made of laprene (soft-touch colored rubber). Laprene is a soft, colored rubber with a gentle matte feel; the color runs all the way through, so small knocks do not show.

How do I choose a cable color for the Cacio&Pepe S?

Pick the body color first, then a cable that either matches it for a calm look or contrasts with it for a pop of color. The Cacio&Pepe S comes in 36 body-and-cable combinations.

Will the Cacio&Pepe S work with US wiring?

Yes. We order every Cacio&Pepe S with a UL-listed cable for US installation. The bulb is not included; use the type shown in the specifications.

How long does the Cacio&Pepe S take to arrive?

Each Cacio&Pepe S is made to order in Italy and ships in 2 to 4 weeks. Because it is made for you, it is a final sale, so take a moment to check size and finish before you order; we are happy to help.

Can In-es.artdesign make the Cacio&Pepe S in another color?

In-es.artdesign offers custom colors and custom cord lengths for an extra charge. Ask us and we will request it from the maker.
