Projects

Articolo was commissioned to design three custom pendants in response to the lobby's exaggerated volumes and a desire to enhance intimacy and comfort.

Inspired by the rhythm and repetition of the architecture and interior spaces, we sought to unify the interconnected ground floorwith a reinterpretation of our lauded Scandal Staggered Pendant.

The original design was drastically supersized to over eight meters in lengths size customised barrels extending from each pendant. Enhancing the design's elongated proportions is an inlay of Italian brass herringbone mesh; the pendants capped end-to-end by Australian mouthblown glass.

Reimagined for this site-specific installation, in a feat of both design and engineering, the trio of pendants were made in Melbourne before being suspended 12 meters in the air at a weight of 170 kilos in solid metal and glass.
