Moooi Coppélia Suspended Chandelier

The Moooi Coppélia Suspended captures the ethereal beauty of ballet in a way that honestly takes your breath away the first time you see it lit up. Arihiro Miyake designed this stunning chandelier after watching the famous Coppélia ballet, becoming mesmerized by how a ballerina's tutu creates these delicate after-images during pirouettes. That flowing, three-dimensional wire structure isn't just beautiful to look at - it's a technical masterpiece where dozens of LED lights are powered through the stainless steel frame itself, with no visible wires disrupting those graceful lines. At 26.8 inches across for the small version, it creates this incredible presence that's both dramatic and delicate, like having a frozen moment of dance suspended above your space. The polycarbonate shades softly diffuse the light while the chrome finish adds this elegant sparkle that changes throughout the day.

What makes the Coppélia brilliant for actual living spaces is how it transforms any room into something more theatrical without being over the top. The integrated LEDs provide beautiful ambient lighting that's perfect for dining rooms or living areas where you want to create atmosphere, and the dimming capabilities mean you can adjust the intensity to match whatever mood you're going for. Despite looking incredibly complex, the engineering is so refined that each light source connects seamlessly to the frame structure, creating this clean, airy quality that keeps it from feeling heavy or cluttered. The fact that it comes with either a 4-meter or extended 10-meter cable means you can use it in high-ceiling spaces or stairwells where most chandeliers would feel too small. It's definitely a conversation starter - guests always want to know how those lights are connected - but it never overwhelms the room.

Moooi continues to work with visionary designers like Arihiro Miyake who understand that exceptional lighting should evoke emotion while serving practical needs. Founded by Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers, the Dutch company has built its reputation on pieces that exist at the intersection of art, technology, and daily life. The Coppélia Suspended perfectly embodies Moooi's philosophy of creating lighting that tells stories and sparks imagination while enhancing contemporary spaces. Along with their groundbreaking furniture, accessories, and other lighting innovations, Moooi provides a platform for designers who approach their craft as both technical problem-solving and cultural expression, helping you build environments that feel both sophisticated and genuinely inspiring.
