Description
The Alicante MD-166 is a modern fabric pendant light with an elongated, curved shade. Its sweeping shape creates a light, sculptural outline above furniture. The fabric gives the illuminated shade a softly textured appearance. Choose a 60 cm or 80 cm length in white or off-white.
Where to hang a modern fabric pendant light
Hang the MD-166 above a dining table to follow the length of the tabletop. Its narrow, curved profile suits a room with simple furniture and uncluttered surfaces. Centre the shade over the table, then check how it looks from each seat before choosing the hanging height.
The pendant also works above a kitchen island or a long console. In an open living space, use it to mark out a seating area. The white and off-white options pair easily with pale walls, natural wood, and linen upholstery. Against a darker background, the curved outline stands out more clearly.
Sizes and bulb fittings
- Available lengths: 60 cm or 80 cm
- Shade material: Fabric
- Colour options: White and off-white
- Bulb fittings: 2 × E27
Measure the furniture beneath the pendant before choosing between the two lengths. The 60 cm option offers a more compact silhouette. The 80 cm version gives the shade more presence above a longer surface.
Choose matching E27 bulbs for a consistent light colour across the shade. Warm white can suit dining areas where you prefer softer evening lighting. To identify the fitting, see the Philips Hue guide to bulb sizes.
Styling the Alicante collection
Keep nearby decorative objects simple so the fabric shade remains the focal point. Rounded chairs or a curved tabletop can echo its shape without repeating it exactly. Black furniture details can also tie in with the pendant’s dark suspension and ceiling canopy.
For a smaller, rounded fixture, consider the Alicante MD-163. Its compact form offers another way to introduce fabric lighting into the same interior. Browse the ILS lighting catalogue to compare both Alicante designs and choose the profile that suits your space.
