the ‘70s revival keeps rising in 2025 with the mushroom pendant. soft, rounded, and delicately retro, it instantly creates a cosy vibe.

The beauty of imperfection now has its iconic lighting. The wabi-sabi style pendant in raw ceramic perfectly captures this minimalist philosophy from Japan.

Why we love it: : Each piece is unique and full of character.

The industrial style is still going strong in 2025, but it’s evolving. Say goodbye to bulky metal fixtures—make way for sleeker, lighter industrial pendants that keep all the style without the heaviness.

We love : the contrast between matte black and light wood for a fresh, modern look.

Welcome to the future! This year, smart lighting is taking center stage. Voice control, adjustable light temperature, smartphone programming—you’ve got it all at your fingertips.

The trend of oversized lighting continues in 2025. This time, linen takes the spotlight, with large yet lightweight pendants that offer soft, diffused lighting.

Why fall for it ? To create an elegant focal point above a large table or in a spacious bedroom.

Pendant lights can totally transform a space… as long as you choose them carefully! Here are the common mistakes to absolutely avoid this year:

Hung too high, it loses its charm; too low, it becomes annoying in daily life.

The right move : Hang your pendant about 80 cm above a table to create the perfect cozy vibe.

The light intensity should match the room's function. Avoid overly white light in a bedroom or too dim a light in a workspace.

What to remember : The ideal temperature is between 2700K (soft mood) and 4000K (dynamic mood).

In 2025, beyond just design, the material of your pendant plays a major role in shaping your interior style. 

This year, some materials clearly stand out in decor trends. 

Here are the must-have materials to embrace if you want to be right on trend.

Smoked glass is making a big comeback this year—and it’s easy to see why. With its subtle tones and translucent textures, a smoked glass pendant instantly adds depth to a space. It casts a soft, muted glow that creates a cozy, calming atmosphere.

Where to use it? Ideal above a kitchen island, in a bedroom, or to gently light up a reading nook.

A star material of the seventies, rattan is still going strong in 2025. 

This time, it’s getting a modern update, with more minimalist designs while keeping that natural vibe we all love.

A rattan pendant instantly warms up the room while adding a chic bohemian touch.

Our decor tip : Pair it with light wood furniture and natural-toned fabrics for a harmonious and authentic interior.

This year, linen is the must-have fabric when it comes to lighting.

A linen pendant casts an ultra-soft, almost poetic glow, creating a cozy and soothing atmosphere.

Thanks to its lightness, linen also makes it possible to create XXL formats without visually weighing down the space.

Why fall for it ? For its irresistible airy look, perfect above a dining table or in a spacious master bedroom.

2025 marks a true return to craftsmanship and raw materials. 

Unglazed ceramic, slightly textured, brings an unmatched sense of authentic charm. 

Each pendant becomes a unique piece, with natural imperfections that tell a story.
