To approach the world of pendant lamps<\/b>, one has to start by making a distinction: pendant lamps are often confused with chandeliers. Instead, they are two separate categories, albeit within the same sector: lighting. Lamps<\/b> have only one thing in common with chandeliers: they are also hung from the ceiling<\/b>, but unlike chandeliers they are hardly ever used as the main light<\/b>. Pendant lamps are usually combined with\u00a0floor lamps<\/a>. And they\u00a0<\/b>often feature\u00a0<\/b>designer lampshades<\/b><\/a>.
\nThe chandelier<\/a>\u00a0on the other hand has the main purpose of illuminating the room, decorating the ceiling. It differs from lamps mainly in its ability to provide complete illumination. Another difference: once it has been installed, it is rare to remove it due to the cumbersome and unwieldy uninstallation manoeuvres it requires.<\/p>\n

Pendant lamps: how to choose the right one<\/b><\/h2>\n

Furnishing trends in recent years have shown significant growth in the production of pendant lamps<\/b>, which increasingly meet the taste of broad target groups. Often, these are lamps made of natural and simple materials such as wood, fabric and glass<\/b>. Particularly sought-after are pendant lamps with a minimalist design<\/b>, without excessive decoration.
\nBefore choosing a pendant lamp, it is important to study the available space and quantify the lighting effect you want to create<\/b>. After this priority skimming, the design is assessed in purely aesthetic terms, opting for the model that best matches the rest of the environment<\/b>. In this respect, the model stands out for the originality of its design and the quality of its realisation, Spark<\/a> by Bontempi<\/b>. This is a lamp consisting of one to six pendants with a ceiling rose<\/b>, a \u00a0natural brass frame and borosilicate glass<\/b> , and a pendant lamp for cluster compositions – to be combined with the multiple ceiling rose to be ordered separately – with a natural brass frame and borosilicate glass decentretiser.<\/p>\n

Modern pendant lamps for furnishing the kitchen<\/b><\/h2>\n

The versatility<\/b> of this type of furnishing accessory is highlighted by the diversified use <\/b>that can be made of it: while initially pendant lamps were especially suitable for living rooms and living areas, they have now become a must for kitchens<\/b>, especially those of modern inspiration. Very often these are glass models: glass pendant kitchen lamps allow you to play with opacity and transparency<\/b>. Plastic<\/b> ones, on the other hand, allow for a lot of brightness and can have traditional shapes, such as spheres. There are also models made of wood, paper, natural stone, aluminium, rubber and increasingly used today is fabric<\/b>. The kitchen is a place that welcomes, that accommodates, that brings people together, it must therefore be well lit. And pendant lamps give you the possibility to create a cone of light wherever you like<\/b>: on the table<\/b>, on the worktop<\/b>, on the hob<\/b>.
\nThere are pendant lamps for the kitchen in various styles:
\nClassic style kitchen pendants<\/b>: a model that never goes out of fashion, it can be Art Nouveau<\/b> with plain glass and floral decorations, or vintage<\/b>, with soft lines and no decorations.
\nRustic or industrial style kitchen pendants<\/b>: a model with an iron or steel <\/b>bell, dark on the outside and light on the inside.
\nModern kitchen pendant<\/b>: a model that experiments with special shapes, but above all in materials such as perforated plastic, bent steel or glass.<\/p>\n

Everything you need to know about designer pendant lamps<\/b><\/h2>\n

Designer pendant lamps<\/b> often feature an industrial-style metal frame<\/b>. This is a very specific choice: the strong visual impact comes in a variety of types and finishes<\/b>, defining the style and making metal lamps easily adaptable to modern as well as classic environments<\/b>.\u00a0An exemplary model of designer pendant lamp by Bontempi is Pandora<\/a>with lacquered rosette and body in the various finishes available.
\nMany designer pendant lamps are perfect for<\/b> illuminating the office work surface and – being largely adjustable – allow accent lighting on specific objects or portions of space<\/b>.
\nFinally, the topic of energy saving <\/b>is worth mentioning: most designer pendant lamps are combined with LED bulbs. From this, comes the possibility of a significant step forward in the fight against waste<\/b>: LEDs use 90 per cent less energy than conventional incandescent lamps.<\/p>\n
