Plafonnier lighting refers to suspended bowl-form pendants, typically constructed from glass or alabaster and supported by three or more chains.
Distinct from flush ceiling fittings, plafonniers are designed to hang below the ceiling plane, often featuring a decorative metal gallery or retaining ring in brass, bronze or copper. Larger and more elaborate examples may incorporate a central ceiling hook and ball fitting from which multiple chains descend to support the bowl.
Originating in late 19th and early 20th century interiors, plafonniers represent a refined approach to suspended illumination — combining craftsmanship, material richness and balanced light diffusion.
