Jonah Takagi uses painted steel and tinted glass to give each of the three varieties of his Silk Road pendant light its own tone and personality, though they all share the same unique corrugated fabric diffuser centerpiece. High strength aircraft cable supports the lamp in three locations leaving the 8 foot power cable bearing no weight of its own. Available color schemes include brushed copper/moss/cream, brushed brass/tobacco/cream, and army green/smoke/blackened steel.
