The Patera Silver takes it up a notch thanks to its reflective material, turned on or not, becoming a luxe statement piece in any room it’s hung in ? from residential to commercial. In this month’s Deconstruction coinciding with its Spring launch, we asked Louis Poulsen to share the design process behind the Patera Silver pendant.

The small diamond-shaped cells are installed to reflect and diffuse the direct light source from viewing angles above 45 degrees.
