Pendant - Andalous (Floral)
Ref: L-PL-023-HSF
The Andalous Pendant is a contemporary reinterpretation of the great Moorish lanterns that once illuminated the palaces, riads, and architectural spaces of Al-Andalus. Reimagined through Yahya's signature hand-sawn and hand-engraved floral metalwork, the pendant transforms a historic form into a refined sculptural lighting piece defined by intricacy, craftsmanship, and atmosphere. The composition is formed around eight softly rounded vertical sections that create a harmonious architectural body, crowned above and below by elegant teardrop domes. Entirely handcrafted, the pendant projects intricate patterns of light and shadow across surrounding walls and ceilings whilst maintaining a remarkable visual lightness. Timeless, elegant, and richly atmospheric, the Andalus Pendant celebrates the enduring beauty of Moorish architecture through the language of contemporary craftsmanship.

The pendant is suspended from a structural ceiling fixation plate concealed behind a decorative ceiling canopy. The electrical connections, transformers, and drivers are housed within the upper structure, allowing convenient access for maintenance whilst remaining completely hidden from view.
The composition incorporates eight hand-sawn and hand-engraved rounded vertical sections arranged around a central body and framed by sculptural teardrop domes above and below. A concealed diffuser system integrated within the central section softens the illumination and prevents direct visibility of the light sources whilst enhancing the richness of the decorative metalwork. Access to the lighting systems is provided through concealed fixing systems integrated within the decorative structure, allowing straightforward maintenance and lamp replacement.
The lighting system incorporates three independent light sources. The first illuminates the upper dome, projecting decorative floral patterns onto ceilings and surrounding architectural surfaces. The second illuminates the main body of the pendant through the concealed diffuser system, creating a balanced and comfortable ambient glow. The third illuminates the lower dome, creating additional decorative projection and reinforcing the sculptural presence of the piece. The Andalus Pendant is available in multiple standard sizes, with bespoke dimensions available upon request. Exterior versions may also be specified with IP67-rated electrical components and specialist UV-resistant protective coating systems where required.
The brass with aged bronze finish or polished nickel silver surfaces should be lightly dusted using a soft dry cloth or microfibre cloth. Abrasive products, aggressive cleaning materials, and excessive moisture should be avoided in order to preserve the integrity of the finish.
The concealed diffuser elements should be cleaned periodically using a soft lint-free cloth and a suitable non-abrasive cleaner appropriate to the diffuser material. Care should be taken not to apply excessive pressure to the decorative metalwork during cleaning or maintenance operations.
Our brass pieces are hand-finished, aged to a rich bronze patination, and protected with a durable lacquer system. Interior versions utilise a specialist interior lacquer, whilst exterior versions receive a UV-resistant protective coating developed specifically for outdoor environments. Polished nickel silver may be maintained using a quality silver polish or traditional lemon-based cleaning methods where required. Subtle variations and traces of hand craftsmanship form an intentional part of the character and authenticity of each piece.
