Description
The Alicante MD-163 is a round fabric pendant light with a curved shade and a sculptural opening. Its overlapping forms reveal the illuminated interior and give the fixture a different outline from each side. Measuring 40 cm high and 40 cm across, it comes in white or off-white.
Where to hang a round fabric pendant light
Hang the MD-163 above a round dining table to repeat the curve of the tabletop. The fabric shade pairs well with natural wood, linen, and pale walls. Centre the pendant over the table, then check its appearance from each seat before choosing the hanging height.
In a living room, use the pendant above a coffee table or beside a seating area. Its rounded body adds shape without introducing strong colour. Against a darker wall, the pale fabric becomes more prominent. For a quieter look, pair the off-white option with warm neutral finishes.
Dimensions and bulb fitting
- Fixture height: 40 cm
- Width: 40 cm
- Shade material: Fabric
- Colour options: White and off-white
- Bulb fitting: 1 × E27
Compare the shade’s width with the furniture beneath it before settling on a position. Leave space around the pendant so its curved outline remains visible. Also consider the view from the doorway, since the opening changes the silhouette as you move around it.
Choose a warm white E27 bulb if you prefer a softer evening look. To identify the fitting, see the Philips Hue guide to bulb sizes.
Pair it with the Alicante collection
Keep nearby accessories simple to give the shade room to stand out. Rounded chairs, a circular mirror, or a curved sofa can echo its shape. A few contrasting straight lines can also help balance the arrangement.
For a longer dining table or kitchen island, compare the MD-163 with the Alicante MD-166. Its elongated shade offers a different profile in 60 cm and 80 cm lengths. Browse the ILS lighting catalogue to compare both fabric pendants and choose the shape that suits your furniture.
