Moby Dick Pendant Light by Karman
The Moby Dick Pendant Light is an expressive design by Italian brand Karman that brings a bit of literary inspiration into the room. Designed by Matteo Ugolini, this pendant was directly inspired by the legendary white whale from Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. The light’s form resembles a whale’s graceful bulk with a flowing, curved profile and subtly frayed edges. It’s made entirely of white fiberglass – smooth on the outside and rough-textured on the inner surface – which creates a soft, diffuse glow when illuminated .
The result is a dramatic yet functional light that can anchor a space without feeling overbearing. Available in both medium and large sizes, the Moby Dick pendant can be used as a single sculptural accent or grouped in a pod for impact.
