"Patera was born of my fascination with the Fibonacci sequence. You can find the spiral pattern wherever you look in nature - in the seed formation in sunflowers and pine cones - and it has previously inspired Leonardo da Vinci, Johan Sebastian Bach and many other great artists from history" - Oivind Slaatto

Taking nature as his inspiration, the elite designer Oivind Slaatto created a new and unusual light through a creative partnership with Louis Poulsen.

"Patera is intended to serve as a modern chandelier - a light that unifies the space and makes any room a more human place to spend time in." The ball-shaped pendant floats like a majestic focal point in the room, spreading light in all directions.

Patera emits a soft, pleasant light, whose secret lies in its intricate design: the light consists of a variety of positioned cells, which ensure the correct angles are applied to the visor lines of the light and guard against all unpleasant glare. At the same time, the structure staggers the visual center of Patera, consistently providing new impressions of the light when viewed from different angles.

The pleasant light emitted by Patera suits a variety of contexts: everything from dining, halls and entrances, to reception areas and meeting rooms. Patera illuminates people around it in a credible, natural light, without generating inappropriate shadows on their faces. Stylistically, the light is simultaneously simple and refined, which means that it blends seamlessly into most interior design settings, modern and classical alike.

Patera is made of white synthetic material. The entire assembly process is carried out by hand. Patera is light and airy, making it simple to install in a great many settings.
