Linette Dai was recently featured in Architectural Digest, in a piece where leading designers talked about their favorite vintage finds. Her contribution was a dining room built around a vintage stool she’d sourced for the client, and hanging above the table in that same photo is our Orbitale chandelier.
Dai’s rooms tend to feel calm without being sparse. She works with natural wood, stone, and clean lines in a way that never tips into coldness. The Orbitale suits that sensibility, it has presence without being loud, and its profile stays compact enough to work comfortably in lower-ceilinged rooms.
For this project, we customized the piece to hang from a slanted ceiling and dialed in the overall drop to the client’s exact specification. That kind of adjustment is straightforward for us, but it makes a real difference in a finished room, a chandelier that’s even slightly off in scale or angle reads wrong, even if you can’t immediately say why.
The shades pivot, so the light can be aimed where it’s needed. Most of it reflects upward for a warm ambient glow, with small openings that cast softer light downward onto the table. In a room this considered, that subtlety matters.
