Description
In 2015, the Patera pendant designed by Øivind Slaatto launched as a modern take on the classic chandelier, bringing a glowing focal point and soft, dynamic illumination to contemporary spaces. The Patera’s glare-free, 360-degree illumination is the result of an intricate design with differently positioned cells that bathe surrounding spaces, people, and objects in natural, even, and flattering light.
The form is beautiful to behold from all angles, its Fibonacci sequence-based structure providing a different impression from every vantage point. “My ultimate goal was to create a three-dimensional Sudoku. It was an extremely mathematical assignment. In fact, it’s the most complex light I have ever made ... I think it has a certain poetry about it, and my aim was to construct a modern crystal chandelier. I hope people will feel inspired to move around it. I hope it generates life.” (Øivind Slaatto)

Øivind Slaatto, 2015
Danish designer Øivind Slaatto holds a master’s degree from the Danish Design School. Prior to this, he studied music at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. An appreciation for music as well as nature permeates his approach to the design process. As recognised as he is for his poetic design solutions, he also seeks to bring qualities such as rationality, logic and harmony to his designs.
Slaatto wants his designs to be perceived as simple and light – like a piece of music being played. He has designed everything from speakers and cars to furniture and light fixtures. Designing lighting, however, is his great passion. His natural affinity with light leads him continually to enhance the experience of light and the ambience it creates.
