Description
The Kolokani MD-153 is an oval fabric pendant light with a low, wide shade. Curved panels overlap across the fabric, creating a pattern of pointed ovals. The shade tapers gently at the edges, so its outline feels light even at 50 cm wide. Choose white or off-white.
Where to hang an oval fabric pendant light
Hang the MD-153 above a round dining table to echo the curve of the tabletop. The broad shade gives the table a focal point without adding a bulky shape overhead. Before choosing the hanging height, check the view from a seated position. You should still be able to see the person across from you comfortably.
In a living room, centre the pendant over a coffee table to define the seating area. Its horizontal shape works well with low furniture, such as a long sofa or a wide sideboard. Keep the objects beneath it simple so the layered fabric remains the feature you notice first.
Dimensions and bulb fitting
- Catalogue height: 50 cm
- Width: 50 cm
- Shade material: Fabric
- Colour options: White and off-white
- Bulb fitting: 1 × E27
Compare the width with the furniture below before you choose a position. If the pendant will sit near tall cabinets, check the view from the doorway. Give the tapered edges enough space to stand out against the background.
Choose a warm white E27 bulb if you prefer a softer evening glow. If you use other lamps nearby, match their colour temperature for a consistent look. For help identifying the fitting, see the Philips Hue guide to bulb sizes.
Compare shapes in the Kolokani collection
Choose the MD-153 if you want a wide silhouette with a low profile. For a rounder shade, the MD-151 wraps diagonal panels around a globe. The MD-154 has a narrower top and a fuller, ribbed shape. Browse the ILS lighting catalogue to compare the three designs and decide which shape works best with your furniture.
