Marisa Hat-Form Capiz Shell Chandelier

Asian Form · Contemporary Light

A shell, suspended
in a ring of gold.

The Marisa reimagines the silhouette of the classic Asian conical hat — a wide, shallow disc of natural Capiz shell hovering within a fine gold ring. It is less a chandelier than a held gesture: structure and stillness, the curve of the cord the only motion.

The form began with a hat.

Across East and Southeast Asia, the conical woven hat has been worn for centuries — by farmers in the rice paddies, by fishermen on the water, by travelers on the road. Its geometry is purely functional: a wide brim to shed rain and shade the sun, a shallow cone that sits lightly. But seen from below, lifted into the air and lit from within, that same humble shape becomes something else entirely — a floating disc, a captured moment of shelter and shade rendered in pearl-iridescent shell.

The Marisa takes that silhouette and suspends it inside a fine gold ring, so the shell shade appears to hover rather than hang. The cord descends in a single relaxed curve — a small note of spontaneity against the restraint of the ring. The result reads as quiet sculpture by day and a warm, golden pool of light by evening.

Three scales, three rooms

The material

No two shells are the same. No two Marisas will be either.

Each shade is composed of natural Capiz — the translucent windowpane oyster shell that artisans across the Pacific have prized for generations for the way it holds light. Every shell is washed, hand-graded, and set individually, its natural thickness and tone preserved rather than corrected. Held against a warm bulb, the shell turns honey-gold and luminous; switched off, it settles into a soft, oyster-pale white.

Because the material is natural, your Marisa will carry tonal variation, surface pattern, and translucency that differs subtly from the photographs. This is not a flaw — it is the signature of a shell that grew in the sea rather than a sheet that came off a press.

What you should know

Where it belongs

The Marisa was made for rooms that value calm over noise. Over a Japandi dining table of pale oak and linen, the small or medium size casts a warm circle of light that gathers people without overwhelming the space. In a Wabi-Sabi living room — raw plaster, natural wood, the beauty of imperfection — the shell's organic variation belongs completely. Above a tea room or meditation corner, the soft amber glow and the floating-disc geometry hold the room in a kind of suspended quiet.

In grander spaces, the 51.2" size becomes a true centrepiece — a double-height entry, a hotel lobby, the long table of a creative studio where it reads as both lighting and installation art. Wherever it hangs, the Marisa asks the room to slow down a little.
