Paint Nebula Pendant Light by In-es.artdesign

Paint Nebula by In-es.artdesign is a 12 cm paint-pot pendant in white Nebulite, small enough to hang in rows. It is designed by Oçilunam and made to order in Ariccia, just outside Rome.

Matt pairs the glow of Nebulite with a hand-applied outer skin. Lavagna is a blackboard-effect resin you can actually draw on, write on and wipe clean; Cemento is a concrete-effect varnish that gives the shade the weight and grain of raw building material, while the color inside stays bright.

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 Paint Nebula belongs to the Matt collection.

Why You'll Love It

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

The surface is never flat or plastic-looking: the hand-laid fibers in the Nebulite give the glow depth and movement, so the Paint Nebula looks different at dusk, at night and in daylight.

Made for Real Life

We supply the Paint Nebula 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 Paint Nebula made of?

The Paint Nebula is made of laprene, nylon, Nebulite (fiberglass). Nebulite is In-es.artdesign's own resin-and-fiber composite, finished by hand in Italy, which is why each shade has its own slightly irregular texture.

Does every Paint Nebula look exactly the same?

No. Nebulite is laid up by hand, so each Paint Nebula has its own grain and slight variations in the surface. That irregularity is what gives it the look of the moon.

Will the Paint Nebula work with US wiring?

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

How long does the Paint Nebula take to arrive?

Each Paint Nebula 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 Paint Nebula 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.
