Cocoon Pendant Light – Onion Dome, 40 cm | Jagmag Lights

A sculptural cocoon that glows like a paper lantern. This onion-dome pendant is built the classic mid-century way — a stretched cocoon membrane over a vertical metal rib frame — so the light diffuses through the skin in a soft, even glow with the ribs reading as fine shadow lines. The flared neck and wide, rounded body give it a retro-modern silhouette that works as a quiet sculpture by day and a warm focal point at night.

Where it fits

• Over a dining table or kitchen island — the 40 cm dome throws a soft, even glow and makes a gentle statement.
• Living rooms & bedrooms — a sculptural centrepiece with a calm, diffused light.
• Entryways & reading corners — a warm, welcoming accent.
• Mid-century, warm-modern, Japandi & coastal interiors — oak, linen, plaster, cane and warm neutrals.

Why you’ll love it

The cocoon skin does what glass and metal can’t — it softens a single bulb into a warm, glare-free glow that lights the whole shade evenly, while the ribbed frame gives it structure and a hand-made character. The onion-dome shape has real presence at 40 cm across but stays light and airy, so it suits a dining table, a seating group or a bedside. It takes a standard E27 bulb, so you choose your own warmth and brightness, and the cord adjusts to the right drop.

Light & material

The shade is a stretched cocoon membrane over a metal rib frame in a natural white that warms to a honey glow when lit. The light is ambient and atmospheric — soft, diffused and easy on the eye — rather than hard task light. It pairs naturally with oak, linen, plaster, cane and warm neutral palettes, and suits both period and modern rooms.
