Product Insights
The Sopal large hanging lamp, a curved variant of the avant-garde Nopal designed in-house after a Mexico trip, is handmade in Quebec by a 13-person workshop, with each piece featuring subtle artisanal variations. Its core promise is a sculptural focal point that diffuses light 360° via a frosted opal glass globe, eliminating glare even with high-output LEDs, suitable for tables 33–44 inches wide. The main tradeoff is that handcrafting results in natural variations in the matte powder-coat finish and hand-blown glass, making each unique but inconsistent, and it is built to order with a fixed 72-inch cord.
Verified claims
- Design heritage
- The Sopal is a curved variant of the avant-garde Nopal, designed in-house after a Mexico trip.
- Craftsmanship
- Handmade in Quebec by a 13-person workshop, each lamp has subtle artisanal variations.
- Lighting utility
- The 72-inch fixed cord and opal globe make it suitable for dining and kitchen islands.
- Production
- Hand-built to order in a 16,000 sq ft Quebec workshop by a 13-person team, going against mass production with local sourcing.
- Design origin
- Original in-house design evolved from the Nopal collection, which has been covered by design authority Azure Magazine, and is inspired by Mexico's landscapes.
- Local sourcing
- Components sourced from businesses within 30 km of the factory.
- Local manufacturing
- Designed, engineered, and handmade in Cowansville, Quebec.
- Design authenticity
- In-house design fuses Scandinavian minimalism with Quebec artisanal craft.
- Material
- Powder-coated aluminum shade and hand-blown opal glass globe.
- Light quality
- Frosted opal glass diffuses light 360° and eliminates glare with high-output LEDs.
- Color options
- The six matte powder-coat finishes (Black, White, Ivory/Cream Beige, Ecru/Linen, Sesame, Clay Red) use a broader color range than anodized aluminum allows.
- Handcrafted variation
- Subtle finish variations occur between units due to handcrafting.
- Matte finish
- Matte powder-coated aluminum keeps the large shade visually light, so the curved silhouette reads airy rather than heavy.
- Natural variations
- Hand-blown globes can show minor color and thickness variations between pieces, making each fixture subtly unique.
- Light diffusion
- Frosted opal glass diffuses light 360°, and the 22-inch span suits tables 33–44 in wide.
- Glare reduction
- Opal glass hides the bulb and diffuses glare, so bright high-output LEDs can be used without the fixture becoming harsh.
- Bulb brightness and safety
- Appropriate for task or ambient lighting, both glare-free with the opal globe.
- Bulb appearance
- The frosted opal globe hides the bulb and diffuses its light.
- Sizing and height
- Lamp fits tables 33–44 in wide per the ½–⅔ pendant rule; fixed 72-in cord hangs it 24–30 in above standard dining tables without adjustment.
- Focal point
- Best placed as a standalone sculptural centrepiece over a dining table or in an open area.
- Globe cleaning
- Hand-blown glass globe is cleaned with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth; dry immediately.
- Bulb wattage
- Recommended LED bulb wattage is 10W or less.
- Finish options
- The Sopal large pendant is offered in exactly seven matte powder-coat colorways, including White, Black, Ecru/Linen, Sesame, and Clay Red.
