Riegel – Sculptural pendant chandelier – Schwung – Brass and blown glass – 16 E14 LEDs – L 175.8 cm

The Riegel pendant chandelier by Schwung is a sculptural lighting creation with spectacular proportions, combining the noble character of brass with the delicacy of sixteen mouth-blown glass globes. Part of Schwung's GLOBE design concept, this exceptional pendant features an original geometric composition in which the spheres are arranged in structured segments, connected and highlighted by refined metallic lines. The result is a dynamic luminous architecture whose silhouette appears to change depending on the viewing angle.

With its length of 175.8 cm, sixteen glass globes measuring 20 cm in diameter and five refined metal finishes, the Riegel becomes a remarkable statement piece. It accommodates sixteen E14 LED light sources rated at 5 W each, giving a total nominal power of 80 W, a stated luminous output ranging from 7200 to 8000 lumens and a warm colour temperature of 3000 K. Its overall height ranging from 108.7 to 198.7 cm makes it particularly suitable for generous architectural spaces, while its brass structure and glass diffusers create a refined decorative presence. This pendant is especially suited to spacious living rooms, prestigious dining areas, entrance halls and sophisticated reception spaces.

A geometric composition of sixteen illuminated glass globes

The Riegel is distinguished by an original architecture featuring sixteen glass spheres, arranged in regular segments and connected by a refined metallic structure.

Unlike traditional chandeliers, whose compositions often rely on classical symmetry, the Riegel develops a more expressive geometric design language. The globes follow a carefully considered rhythm, while the brass lines create a structure that is both graphic and elegant.

One of the distinctive features of this luminaire is its changing appearance. Depending on the viewing angle, the spheres seem to approach, overlap or move away from one another, creating a silhouette that evolves as you move through the room.

This interaction between spherical volumes and metallic lines introduces a sense of movement to the composition. The pendant becomes a genuine luminous sculpture, capable of transforming the atmosphere of an interior.

When illuminated, the sixteen light sources reveal the textures of the glass and highlight the architectural composition. Even when switched off, the Riegel retains its decorative impact thanks to the precision of its shapes and the richness of its materials.

The GLOBE concept: reinterpreting 19th- and 20th-century lighting

The GLOBE concept by Schwung goes beyond a traditional lighting collection. It provides an open creative framework in which spherical forms, materials and metallic structures offer countless possibilities for composition.

Inspired by the lighting heritage of the 19th and 20th centuries, GLOBE reinterprets the iconic silhouettes of historical luminaires through a contemporary aesthetic. Glass globes, timeless elements of decorative lighting, are combined with precisely designed brass structures.

This approach creates lighting objects that establish a dialogue between historical heritage and modernity. Classical forms are reimagined to produce original compositions suitable for contemporary interiors as well as more traditional settings.

The Riegel perfectly illustrates this philosophy. Its sixteen glass globes and segmented structure form an architectural ensemble that retains the elegance of historical lighting while expressing a distinctly contemporary identity.

Sixteen mouth-blown glass globes measuring 20 cm in diameter

The Riegel features sixteen spherical diffusers made from mouth-blown glass, each measuring 20 cm in diameter.

Their perfectly rounded shape forms the central aesthetic element of the pendant. The repetition of the spheres creates a coherent composition, while their structured arrangement introduces a particularly elegant visual rhythm.

The globes are available in different glass options, allowing the appearance of the chandelier and its lighting effects to be personalised.

Glass brings a delicate dimension to the metallic structure. Its surfaces capture and diffuse the light, while the brass elements highlight the contours of the composition.

With an overall length of 175.8 cm, the Riegel has an impressive span, making it particularly suited to spacious interiors.

Its weight of 31.2 kg reflects the architectural scale of this creation and requires installation using an appropriate ceiling support.

Three signature glass options for a personalised aesthetic

The Riegel is available with three different glass finishes, each offering a distinctive decorative expression.

Opal Mat, made from matte triplex soda-lime opal glass, features a soft, uniform white surface. It highlights the purity of the sixteen spheres and creates an elegant luminous presence, particularly suited to contemporary and minimalist interiors.

Marbled, crafted from matte soda-lime glass with a marble effect, introduces a more expressive decorative dimension. Its subtle patterns inspired by the natural veining of stone give the globes a sophisticated mineral appearance.

Dries Ribbon, made from transparent borosilicate glass with a ribbon effect, emphasises transparency and light reflections. Its distinctive texture highlights the geometry of the globes and the light sources, creating a more graphic composition.

These three glass options allow the Riegel to complement different interior styles while preserving its distinctive sculptural identity.

Five refined metal finishes to enhance the brass structure

The Riegel's metallic structure is available in five carefully selected finishes, allowing its decorative character to be personalised.

Lacquered Burnished Brass (LBB) features warm, deep tones that highlight the timeless elegance of the metal.

Black Gunmetal (BGM) offers a darker, contemporary aesthetic, creating a striking contrast with the glass globes.

Polished Nickel (PN) is distinguished by its glossy surface and silver-toned reflections, providing a bright and sophisticated expression.

Classic Bronze introduces a warm and elegant finish that harmoniously complements the geometric lines of the chandelier.

Heritage Bronze recalls the character of traditional metalwork and gives the composition a decorative depth particularly suited to classically inspired or vintage interiors.

Combined with the different glass options, these five finishes allow the Riegel to be coordinated with a wide variety of materials, colours and interior design styles.

Sixteen E14 LED light sources for generous warm illumination

The Riegel is designed to accommodate sixteen E14 LED light sources rated at 5 W each, giving a total nominal power of 80 W.

Schwung specifies a luminous output ranging from 7200 to 8000 lumens and a colour temperature of 3000 K, producing a pleasant warm white light.

With its sixteen illuminated points, the Riegel offers a generous luminous presence, particularly suited to large spaces. The distribution of the light sources within the glass globes creates an extensive lighting composition while highlighting the individual spheres.

The pendant is dimmable, exclusively with electronic ELV trailing-edge dimmers, provided that compatible dimmable LED light sources and suitable controls are used.

The luminaire operates on a 220–240 V electrical supply and carries an IP20 protection rating, making it suitable for dry indoor environments.

Impressive proportions with an adaptable suspension height

The Riegel has an overall length of 175.8 cm, highlighting its architectural character and making it particularly suitable for generous interior spaces.

Its overall height ranges from a minimum of 108.7 cm to a maximum of 198.7 cm, allowing installation to be adapted to different ceiling heights and spatial configurations.

The rectangular ceiling canopy measures 64 cm in width, 14 cm in depth and 1.3 cm in height. It complements the horizontal composition of the luminaire and provides the ceiling connection.

The sixteen glass globes measuring 20 cm in diameter contribute to the expressive silhouette of the pendant.

With a weight of 31.2 kg, this chandelier requires a suitable ceiling fixing capable of supporting its load. Installation must follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical regulations.

The Riegel also comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

A sculptural chandelier for spacious and prestigious interiors
