w224 Alto pendant is the epitome of purism: a small cylindrical body – a pendant in its most reduced form – boasting an impressive indirect light, capable of filling a whole room with soft, balanced illumination.
Based on the brutalist-inspired aesthetics and dimensions of the w164 Alto floor lamp but even more powerful, its design is defined by its central, artfully engineered heat sink. And like its predecessor, w224 Alto pendant provides unparalleled light.

w224 Alto pendant’s multi-directional LED technology creates an incredibly wide-angle, even light distribution – a great alternative to conventional general lighting. Four powerful COBs provide a generous, indirect light of 11000 lm – brilliant enough to illuminate a large room, but also dimmable for a more atmospheric ambience.
The central element of w224 Alto pendant is its distinctive heat sink. Crafted from a single piece of solid die-cast aluminium, its geometric arrangement of vertical pins allows for effective thermal management.
w224 Alto pendant is available in a tumbled raw aluminum finish, with no added coatings or protective treatments. This allows for resource-efficient production, easier recycling, and a graceful ageing process. From the start, its naturally textured surface has a rich, tactile depth, with any marks from the production process only adding to its character. Over time, stains, fingerprints, and oxidation will evolve into a beautiful, distinctive patina.
w224 Alto pendant is available with a ceiling mounted or recessed canopy. The suspension rod is available in two maximum lengths: 1200 mm or 1500 mm. Both options can easily be cut to adjust for shorter lengths.
