BOVER SKYBELL PLUS S/3 PENDANT LIGHT: IDENTIFICATION

A contemporary multi-tier pendant fixture featuring three staggered, circular aluminum discs finished in matte white. The structure is suspended by three tensioned cables from a circular ceiling canopy finished in brushed brass, which coordinates with the cylindrical counterweights and decorative central rod. The design utilizes integrated LED technology to provide 2700K warm white downlight while minimizing glare through the geometric shielding of the discs.

Designed by Estudi Manel Molina for the Spanish lighting firm Bover, the Skybell series was introduced circa 2019. It represents a distal evolution of the Mid-Century Modern multi-shade pendant, popularized by designers like Poul Henningsen, but reimagined through contemporary Barcelona minimalism and low-profile LED integration. The fixture is part of a modular system intended for both residential and high-end commercial applications where adjustable height and indirect illumination are required.

Condition

Weight & feel

Estimated at 3.5 to 5 kg, the fixture relies on high-tension steel cables that give the appearance of weightlessness despite the density of the aluminum shades.
