Moaré L Pendant by Antoni Arola for Santa & Cole — a large cylinder of polyester mesh whose layered textures shimmer with a moiré pattern when lit.
White, Red, Grey or Black.
The Design Story
Antoni Arola designed Moaré in 2003 around an optical effect: when two layers of mesh overlap, their textures interfere and create a shifting moiré pattern. Lit from inside, the cylinders seem to move as you walk past.
Why You’ll Love It
It is light and graphic at once, with a texture that changes with every angle. An inner methacrylate diffuser around the three bulbs softens the glare. The polyester is tough and easy to clean, so Santa & Cole suggests it for restaurants and commercial spaces as well as homes.
Made for Real Life
It takes three E26 bulbs, sold separately (Santa & Cole recommends 11 W warm LEDs; maximum bulb height 5.1 inches). It hangs up to 300 cm on a 3 m cable from a square graphite canopy that mounts to a junction box. UL-1598 listed for dry, indoor locations. It is made to order. Wipe with a soft, smooth cloth; skip ammonia, solvents and abrasive cleaners (Santa & Cole’s care advice).
