A modern kitchen chandelier represents one of the most current lighting trends. Read the article to discover Karman's 3 solutions.
The role of the kitchen in the home has changed, and with it, the approach to the lighting it requires. The kitchen is increasingly becoming a hybrid space, serving not only a practical function but also aesthetic and experiential ones.
Once a utilitarian space to be hidden, the contemporary kitchen transforms into a scenographic setting to showcase and welcome guests.
Based on this new paradigm, design becomes an active and integral part of the 'kitchen area', which is expected to be unique and memorable. This is where chandeliers come into play to light up the domestic skies of the culinary space.
In this article, we will explore how to install a chandelier in the kitchen, followed by 3 iconic Karman proposals to inspire you.

How to Install a Modern Kitchen Chandelier
The first step is to define the precise role of the chandelier in the modern kitchen and position it accordingly. In this sense, the most common options are above the island or peninsula, above the table or snack bar, or as a scenographic element in the center of the room.
Where the lighting installation serves as task lighting for the working areas, it is important to consider the correct height at which to position it. To ensure optimal visibility without glare, the light fixture should be installed at a height of 75-85 cm from the work surface, the island, or the table in question.
Another important consideration is the size of the chandelier for the kitchen, which should be proportionate to the overall space and the surface beneath it.
In this regard, it is important to remember that, to achieve a strong scenographic effect, it is not necessary to use “oversized pendants” that risk overwhelming the space. The right mood is to opt for lamps that are proportionate to the context and where the “wow” effect comes from the combination of form and material.
Finally, the selected pendant must be consistent with the kitchen’s style, favoring clean shapes and contemporary materials.
Karman’s Solutions for Kitchen Lighting
Karman’s lamps are created with a clear goal: to make every space extraordinary in which they are placed. This spirit aligns perfectly with the evolution that the kitchen environment has undergone in recent years, transforming from a service area to a multifunctional space of domestic life.
Karman's solutions are capable of responding, each with its own distinctive style, to the different narrative needs of the “cooking area.” And they do so, not only through shapes and design but also by using innovative and unconventional materials with a strong expressive power.
In the following sections, we will review 3 modern kitchen chandelier proposals by Karman, each showcasing a completely different way of interpreting light. What they all have in common is their ability to evoke emotions, becoming the true protagonists of our living spaces.
Moby Dick
Moby Dick
The Moby Dick Pendant is a modern kitchen chandelier made of white fiberglass that seems to come directly from the pages of Herman Melville's novel.
The soft and curved lines of this lamp evoke those of the famous whale.
Moby Dick thus becomes a suspended sculptural element, giving both character and great lightness to the scene. The strong yet measured decorative vocation makes this luminous sculpture suitable for both minimal contemporary settings and more rich and articulated contexts.
The delicate light filtered through the fiberglass creates a refined play of light and shadows, adding a warm and welcoming design note to the kitchen space.
Snoob
Snoob
The Snoob Chandelier is a contemporary reinterpretation of ancient candelabras, preserving their timeless charm with baroque swirls.
While it clearly evokes a timeless past, this modern kitchen chandelier expresses its minimal and extremely contemporary intent. Starting with the choice of material, lacquered aluminum, which in its two variants of white or black will offer the space completely different suggestions.
With a pendant like Snoob, lighting that was typically reserved for large salons and special occasions becomes part of the everyday living space.
In the sixteen-arm variant, it is a true “big light” designed for equally large spaces. In the ten-arm version, it still maintains its scenographic presence while offering an “unconventional” yet graceful solution.
Leda
Leda
With the Leda Collection, we shift to a completely different concept of lighting, adopting an absolutely innovative design language.
It consists of a series of modular and flexible lighting elements, which can be arranged at will based on the space to be illuminated.
The structure alternates cylindrical bars and small spheres made of anodized aluminum in bronze or black, strung together like pearls along a wire. The wire supports a flexible LED strip wrapped in transparent silicone tubing, ensuring maximum versatility of use.
The final effect is that of a precious “light necklace” decorating the space like a jewel around a woman's neck.
Configured as a modern kitchen chandelier, Leda brings into the kitchen space an extraordinary design lighting that invites you to look up at the sky. A fusion of technology and art that amazes, intrigues, and excites.
