Stilnovo Saliscendi Pendant - Light Grey

Milan's Chamber of Commerce, reissued

The Saliscendi Pendant in Light Grey is a rise and fall pendant light finished in a glossy grey and white lacquer, with a luminous metal body and a reflective disc that glide in opposite directions along exposed cables to open up or narrow the spread of light.

Light grey finish

First conceived by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1957, with two originals built for the Milan Chamber of Commerce the following year, the Saliscendi's PMMA parabolic diffuser stays white inside for softness, with its exterior finished to match this grey and white colourway.

How it works

The handle and pulley action remains unchanged from the original: a metal wire casing and acetal resin pulleys let you raise or lower the fitting smoothly, and black cables and conductors carry the current out of view. A 36W integrated LED runs on DALI push dimming.

Where it works best

This pendant reads equally well over a kitchen island or centred above a dining table, and suits a stairwell too, where a rise and fall fitting can be set at just the right height.

The story behind Stilnovo

Revived in 2019 by Linea Light Group after production paused in the early 1990s, Stilnovo continues to reissue historic designs like this one with the same engineering led approach that made its name back in 1946.
