Lamella by Homstvedt and Takagi: Which Size Goes Where

Designer Jonah Takagi, co-designer of Lamella

Lamella, by Hallgeir Homstvedt and Jonah Takagi (2014), is a hand-folded Le Klint shade pleated like the gills of a mushroom. Four pendant shapes and a flush mount make it easy to repeat through a home.

“Mix the four Lamella shapes in one row for a softer island.”

Our rule of thumb

Over tables and islands

Hang one Lamella 1 Pendant or Lamella 2 Pendant over a round table, or mix shapes in a row over a kitchen island.

Low ceilings and walls

The Lamella Plafond mounts on a ceiling or wall, for hallways, bedrooms and bathrooms where a pendant would hang too low.
