In Insolit’s collection of pendant lamps, architectural design meets technical precision to provide solutions and character to all your projects.
Faithful to our “Designed & made in Barcelona”, our lamps not only illuminate: they become the central piece that dialogues with the space, providing a unique identity. Discover the ideal solution for your environments, from the warmth of a home to a demanding contract project.
Design pendant lamps: TR Collection
The TR collection is the maximum expression of Insolit’s philosophy. Designed entirely by Josep Lluís Xuclà, this collection defines technical minimalism.
Its style is based on the purity of form: aluminum profiles that trace essential geometries, whether perfect circles or sharp lines. More than lamps, they are precise lighting tools designed to integrate into the space. Xuclà masterfully explores the versatility of light—direct, indirect, mixed, or focused—under a single coherent aesthetic that has become the signature of our brand.
Design pendant lamps: Glass Collection
As a complement to technical purity, Insolit explores the beauty of materials through the Glass collection, also conceived by Josep Lluís Xuclà.
The style of this collection focuses on sculptural presence and texture. The lamp uses a ribbed glass tube as the main diffuser, creating an elegant luminous element that appears to float in space. Its design combines the delicacy of the glass with the robustness of a steel body, filtering the light to generate a soft, welcoming glow with a strong personality.
Design pendant lamps: Focus Line Collection
The Focus Line collection, designed by the acclaimed architect and designer Jean-Michel Wilmotte, introduces an aesthetic of high technical and industrial precision.
The style of this collection is distinguished by the use of machined aluminum and carefully considered details, such as the decorative optical borosilicate glass in the pendant version. These are pieces that celebrate the functionality and form of the spotlight, offering focal and controlled lighting. Wilmotte’s design brings a touch of sophisticated elegance to an eminently technical and versatile concept.
Design pendant lamps: Inside Collection
Designed by Josep Lluís Xuclà, the Inside collection breaks with traditional suspension to offer a unique ambient light solution.
Its style is defined by its ingenious tensioner and weight system, designed to generate indirect general light that washes the walls. Made from a robust aluminum profile, the Inside Tensor lamp becomes a graphic and functional element in the space, ideal for creating subtle, warm environments with absolute visual comfort.
Where to place a design pendant lamp
The placement of a design pendant lamp is a key decision that balances architectural aesthetics with functionality. An Insolit luminaire does not just illuminate: it creates zones, defines atmospheres, and dialogues with the furniture.
Height is essential. A luminaire placed too high loses its impact as a focal point and can cause its light to disperse excessively. Conversely, if it is too low, it interrupts sight lines and obstructs the flow of the space.
As a professional guide, when suspending a lamp over a functional surface—such as a dining table, a kitchen island, or a meeting table—we recommend situating the base of the luminaire at a distance of 70 to 100 cm above that surface.
This measurement ensures optimal task lighting without obstructing visibility. It is the point of balance where the design, whether the focal light of a technical profile or the ambient light of a sculptural piece, performs its function perfectly.
How to choose a design pendant lamp for the kitchen, living room, bedroom
Choosing a design pendant lamp is not just an aesthetic decision; it is a technical one. Our collections are designed to solve specific lighting needs.
First, consider the finishes and materials that will dialogue with your project: from the purity of extruded aluminum in our color palette (black, white, graphite, bronze, gold) to the material elegance of ribbed glass.
But the most important thing is to define the function:
- For the living room and dining room: These spaces demand versatility. To create a general and cozy atmosphere, opt for indirect light (like in the TR Up collection), which provides exceptional visual comfort. Over a dining table, a direct light lamp (TR Down) or focal light lamp (TR Line or TR Spot) will define the space and center attention, ensuring the light falls perfectly onto the surface.
- For the kitchen (islands and bars): The kitchen requires precise task lighting. Over an island, direct and focal light luminaires (such as our TR Spot, TR Line, or Focus Line Pendant collections) are the ideal solution. They provide clear, glare-free light for tasks, and act as an architectural element that zones the space.
- For the bedroom: Here, warmth is prioritized. Indirect light is the protagonist, creating a serene atmosphere. Using pendant lamps on the sides of the bed is a design resource that frees up space on the nightstands. In this environment, intensity regulation (dimming) is key, and our solutions (DALI, Casambi) allow for total control of the atmosphere.
What to consider when combining pendant lamps with floor or table lighting
A complete lighting project is created in layers. While a design pendant lamp, such as those from the TR collection, can act as a centerpiece and define the general or ambient light of a space, floor and table lamps are essential for task lighting and for creating cozy corners.
A floor lamp is ideal for a reading corner next to an armchair, while a table lamp provides the necessary focal light on a desk or credenza.
To achieve visual harmony and a coherent project, the key is to maintain a unified design language. At Insolit, we have designed complete product collections that allow for this total coherence:
- Technical Coherence: The Focus Line collection, designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, is the perfect example. You can use the Focus Line Pendant over an island, and complement the space with the Focus Line Floor (floor lamp) in the living room and the Focus Line Table (table lamp) in an office, always maintaining the same machined aluminum aesthetic.
- Material Coherence: The Glass collection, by Josep Lluís Xuclà, allows for a dialogue in the space. The texture of the ribbed glass of the pendant lamp is elegantly repeated in the Glass Floor (floor lamp) and the Glass Table (table lamp), creating a sophisticated and cohesive atmosphere.
Combining pieces from the same collection ensures that the finishes, materials, and design philosophy are consistent, creating a dialogue among the luminaires and resulting in a harmonious and high-end space.

Large design pendant lamps
For projects that demand a resounding presence and large-scale lighting, Insolit offers large format luminaires. These pieces are not merely larger lamps; they are architectural statements designed for high ceilings, double-height spaces, lobbies, and large meeting rooms.
The TR Huge is the ultimate exponent of this vision. Taking the technical minimalism and circular purity of the TR collection, we scale it to diameters of up to 3 meters. The result is an imposing centerpiece, a ring of light that floats in the space and completely defines it, proving that a minimalist design can be monumental at the same time.
Design ceiling lamps for the living room
For a comprehensive lighting project in the living room, ceiling light is just as crucial as suspension light. At Insolit, this category focuses on architectural and technical solutions that integrate into the space, offering everything from general ambient light to precise accentuation.
Ceiling Lights: Minimalist General Lighting
Our TR Ceiling collection translates the pure minimalism of the TR collection directly to the ceiling. These surface luminaires, available in direct light (TR Ceiling Down) or indirect light (TR Ceiling Up), are perfect for creating powerful, uniform general lighting in living rooms, especially those with more limited heights where a ceiling light design is the ideal solution.
Spotlights and tracks: Technical and flexible lighting
For accent lighting that is versatile and controlled, our spotlight (spots) and track (tracks) collections are the professional solution.
- The Focus Line collection offers high-precision spotlights to direct light exactly where it is needed, allowing for the highlighting of artwork, bookcases, or wall textures.
- The Stick collection presents a pure, cylindrical aesthetic, ideal for discreet but effective spot lighting.
Both collections offer multiple installation options (surface-mounted, track-mounted, or magnetic systems) that allow for total flexibility to adapt the living room light to different layouts and needs over time.
