Regarding my super-elliptical dining table by piet hein (an under-rated designer if ever there was one)
As the table is an ellipse (between a rectangle and a circle), do you think an elongated oval shaped pendant lamp would look best over it (The I-Club by Luzifer) or a circular pendant lamp (The Saturnia by Luzifer). Please take the time to check out the website again for me on: www.luzifer-lamps.com
This is my first post here...
This is my first post here so first let me say hello everyone! I live in Poland and have this sweet little obsession over designer lamps. And chairs - chairs are nice 😉
Going back to your question, I don't think any of Saturnia or I-Club would go well with your table - too much of circular/oblong action going on. I would choose something more sculptural like Mikado, or, if you do insist on oblong forms, I would suggest Carambola or X-Club as better choices. But please check out Mikado or Mini Mikado first - they are absolutely spectacular. I have both lamps - Mikado being quite large needs a higher ceiling or preferably a loft-type space but Mini Mikado can fit anywhere. My only grievance is that they do not give too much light but I guess you cannot have everything.

Hi Stephen
I am with my ? Mediterranean blue? friend and with taje. The Piet Hein super ellipse is a very typical shape and anything oblong will mismatch.
Saturnia is nice but a little bit too solid. Mikado seems a rather dramatic solution that somehow echoes the mathematical approach to the table?s shape.
That table...
...is all over the place in Denmark. We lived there for a year and I saw it in many homes and also in every other store, it seemed. Even their Home Depot-type chain store carried a knockoff of it. And the Jacobsen 7 chair was most commonly used with it (either the real thing or one of several knockoffs that were also ubiquitous).
Anyway, just thought you might like to know that. I loved the table when we were there and wanted one badly. Then we moved back to the US and I saw it so seldom that I nearly forgot about it.
I'd hang a Poul Henningsen pendant over it, like this one. It just seems right to me. Predictable, but right.
