Sculptural and segmented, the Sydney pendant lamp’s modern expressionist form is inspired by the iconic opera house in the city it’s named for.

Manufactured by Modern Forms, its five almond-shaped canopy shades, in die-cast aluminum, are positioned in alternating directions to project illumination upward and down, creating an overall ambient glow.

Suspended from ultra-thin aircraft cables, the fixture can be adjusted to a drop of between 61 and 305 centimetres.
