Cord pendant light Arcadia – Chrome shine in the style of Berlin Modernism
The Arcadia cord pendant light in chrome is a tribute to the era of new beginnings, when Berlin became the pulsating capital of modernity. Its cool shine recalls the clean lines of the Bauhaus, cafés with gleaming marble tables, and bars where jazz and joie de vivre filled the night. In its simplicity lies elegance, in its form durability. It could hang above a counter in West Berlin in the 1920s – where intellectuals, artists, and night owls gathered to celebrate the new era.
The interplay of chrome-plated brass and satin-finished glass creates a fascinating balance between functionality and atmosphere. The light falls softly, yet clearly – like the morning sun gliding over the rooftops of the city. Crafted in Berlin workshops, the Arcadia stands for traditional craftsmanship and long-lasting quality. Its polished chrome surface reflects the light with a subtle shimmer and lends the room a modern lightness. This luminaire is not a nostalgic relic, but a timeless design object that captures the spirit of Berlin between the world wars – sober, cultivated, and full of charm.
Whether above a dining table, in a modern loft, or in a stylish café – the Arcadia lends every room a touch of urbanity and history. Its design invites you to linger, to read, to talk – just as once in the famous brasseries and salons of the capital. It combines light with feeling, space with memory, past with present.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does chrome differ from polished brass?
Chrome appears cooler and reflects the light more strongly – ideal for clean, modern interior styles, while brass creates a warmer, more traditional atmosphere.
How is the light maintained?
A dry, soft cloth is sufficient to preserve the chrome shine. No polish required – the metal is corrosion-resistant and easy to care for.
