Porcelain Pendant Lights

The Essence of Our Porcelain Pendant Lights

Exceptional Craftsmanship

Entirely handcrafted in our workshops in Portugal, our creations embody an exceptional level of artisanal skill that is becoming increasingly rare in today’s world. Porcelain, a noble material par excellence, requires specialised expertise. Its delicacy and translucency make it an ideal medium for creating subtle plays of light.

The making of our porcelain pendant lights demands patience and precision. Each piece goes through several meticulous stages:

• Creation of the model

• Production of the initial mould and its matrix (the mother mould)

• Pouring of the porcelain

• Shaping of the raw form

• Drying

• Hand finishing

• First low-temperature firing at 980ºC

• Glazing (or not)

• Final high-temperature firing at 1400ºC

This artisanal process ensures not only the exceptional quality of our pendant lights but also their uniqueness. The slight variations in tone and texture from one piece to another are not flaws, but rather the hallmark of genuine craftsmanship.

A Heritage of Craft, Transmitted and Reimagined

Our approach is rooted in the preservation and celebration of Portuguese artisanal heritage. The techniques used to create our porcelain pendants are inherited from generations past. Our artisans master these ancestral skills while adapting them to contemporary aesthetic demands, thereby building a bridge between tradition and modernity.

Each collection reinterprets traditional expertise, grounding it firmly in the present day. This link between heritage and innovation gives our porcelain pendant lights a cultural depth that transcends their function as light sources.

Noble and Sustainable Materials

The porcelain we use is of the highest quality. We prioritise local sourcing from within Portugal, ensuring full traceability of our raw materials.

Porcelain is renowned for its strength and longevity, making it an ideal choice for lighting fixtures designed to stand the test of time.

Our colours are obtained through body staining, pigments are blended directly into the porcelain paste before shaping. Currently, our available shades are White, Terracotta, Sand, and Olive. These timeless hues integrate seamlessly into both classic and modern interiors. Other shades are in development and will be available soon.

Additionally, we strictly avoid the use of harsh chemicals, reflecting our commitment to environmentally responsible and health-conscious production practices.

A Minimalist and Poetic Aesthetic

Far from fleeting trends, we favour essential forms that transcend fashion and remain timeless.

The poetry of our pendant lights lies in their ability to transform light. When lit, the natural translucency of porcelain creates a soft and warm atmosphere. Each model has been designed to offer a unique ambiance, for example, our Viana pendant, inspired by the Art Deco style, casts rays reminiscent of sunlight.

Porcelain Pendant Lights Designed as Works of Art

Growing Value Over Time

Unlike industrial products designed for obsolescence, our porcelain pendant lights are created to increase in value over time. Much like designer furniture that becomes sought-after collectable pieces, our lights represent a long-term investment. This added value is not merely financial, but above all emotional. Each porcelain pendant is destined to become a part of your personal story.

Timelessness at the Heart of Each Creation

Timelessness is a fundamental value in our design philosophy. Our porcelain pendant lights are conceived to transcend passing fashions and remain aesthetically relevant for years to come. This pursuit of timelessness is reflected in pure lines, balanced forms, and refined finishes that never go out of style.

Ethical and Environmentally Conscious Porcelain Pendant Lights

We favour short supply chains, with production entirely carried out in Portugal, thereby reducing our carbon footprint.

We use only natural, durable materials and never resort to harmful chemicals. Even our packaging reflects this ethos: each porcelain pendant is carefully wrapped in a Chita de Alcobaça bag, a traditional Portuguese fabric with colourful folk motifs, made using age-old methods for over a century. By choosing a Luz Editions porcelain pendant, you are supporting a fair and sustainable approach. We believe in the true value of quality, and that durable handcrafted pieces deserve an investment that reflects the skill they embody.

Our philosophy, buy less, but buy better, to last, is rooted in a responsible vision of consumption, where each purchase is seen as a long-term commitment rather than a fleeting impulse.
