Pòta! Pendant Lamp
Made by Catellani & Smith
Designed by Enzo Catellani
Enzo Catellani conceived the Pòta! as a return to origins: a lighting form rooted in the earliest sensibility of Catellani & Smith, where the hand of the maker remains visible in every joint and gesture. The name itself carries the expressive weight of the piece, equal parts exclamation and quiet confidence.
A slender yet voluminous brass structure, left untreated to allow the metal's character to breathe and evolve over time, organizes itself around the light source with a choreography that reads simultaneously as composed and spontaneous. Black details sharpen the silhouette. The signature blue suspension wire introduces an unexpected note of color without disrupting the overall restraint.
Available in two diameters, 50 cm and 85 cm, the Pòta! accommodates intimate interiors and generous architectural volumes alike. Warm LED output at 2700K or 2400K, ranging from 2,160 to 4,860 lumens depending on configuration, is paired with a Triac dimmable driver for precise atmospheric control. Each piece is made in Italy and arrives with a 170 cm suspension cable cut to size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the untreated brass finish mean for the Pòta! over time?
Untreated brass is left without lacquer or protective coating, allowing the metal to develop a natural patina through exposure to light and air. This living quality is intentional: the lamp's surface character deepens and individualizes with age, consistent with Catellani & Smith's philosophy of materials that carry the mark of time.
What sizes is the Pòta! pendant available in?
The Pòta! is offered in two diameters: Ø 50 cm and Ø 85 cm. The smaller scale suits more intimate spaces or lower ceiling heights, while the 85 cm version commands larger architectural volumes or open-plan environments.
Is the Pòta! lamp dimmable?
Yes. The Pòta! is supplied with a Triac dimmable LED driver, compatible with standard Triac dimmer systems. This allows precise control over light output and atmosphere without requiring a separate driver purchase.
What is Catellani & Smith's approach to handcraft in the Pòta!?
Catellani & Smith produces each piece in its Bergamo, Italy atelier, where artisans work the brass structure by hand. The visible irregularities in the composition are a deliberate design choice, not a manufacturing variance - they reflect Enzo Catellani's long-standing insistence that the maker's touch remain present in the finished object.
What color temperature options are available for the Pòta!?
The Pòta! is available in 2700K and 2400K warm white LED. The 2400K option produces a warmer, more amber-toned glow that emphasizes the brass structure's warmth, while 2700K offers a slightly cooler but still decidedly warm tone suited to a broader range of interior palettes.
