Overview

SAIGON IN is a pendant lamp designed by Nahtrang for FARO, manufactured in Europe. Its shade is built with layered papyrus strips, forming a compact, oval silhouette that stands out for its artisanal texture. The result is a luminaire with its own character, one that does not go unnoticed in the space where it is installed.

This type of ceiling lamp works well in residential environments where a light source with visual presence is sought. It also fits in hotel lobbies, where the scale and oval design of the shade create a welcoming atmosphere from the entrance. The combination of the matte black structure with the beige papyrus diffuser creates a soft, warm, and balanced contrast.

FARO is a brand with a long history in lighting, with production based in Europe and a product line that combines contemporary design with selected materials.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this ceiling lamp, verify that the anchor point on the ceiling can support the weight of the product, which exceeds 18 kg. It is essential to have a solid ceiling and to use anchors appropriate for the type of material — concrete, wood, or another structural support. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it involves direct connection to the electrical mains. Check that the free ceiling height allows the pendant lamp to hang without being too low for the normal use of the space. Please note that the E27 LED light source is not included and must be purchased separately, respecting the indicated maximum wattage.

To keep the papyrus shade in good condition, remove dust with a dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush. Avoid direct moisture on the diffuser, as papyrus is sensitive to water. Do not use liquid cleaning products on the shade. The matte black steel body can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Always disconnect the lamp from the power supply before any maintenance operation or bulb replacement.

Design and use

The SAIGON IN lamp by FARO starts from a simple idea: building an oval shade using interwoven papyrus strips. The effect is a surface with visible texture that filters light in a diffuse manner and creates a warm atmosphere in any room. It is not a smooth or uniform shade — it has visual movement, depth — and that is what sets it apart from more conventional options.

The structure is made of steel with a matte black finish. This pendant reaches up to 2360 mm in total height and has a diameter of 1300 mm, making it a large-format piece. In a living room with high ceilings, a lamp of these dimensions can act as a central element without the need to add more decorative lights. In a hotel lobby, its oval scale and beige papyrus texture convey warmth from the very first moment.

In a spacious dining room, this pendant fits well above a large-format table. The LED light filtered through the papyrus creates diffuse, enveloping illumination, without harsh glare or strong shadows. For a more intimate dining room, it is worth carefully calculating proportions before choosing this piece, given its considerable size.

In a living room with dark floors or straight-lined furniture, the contrast between the organic texture of the papyrus and the more rigid materials of the surroundings can be very interesting. The oval shade provides a shape that balances the angles of the space. In a room with neutral walls, the beige of the diffuser integrates easily and the matte black of the body adds definition without feeling visually heavy.

In a bedroom with a high ceiling, a pendant lamp of these characteristics can replace several smaller lights. The LED light softened by the papyrus does not glare and creates an atmosphere suited to rest. In a generously sized kitchen, this pendant can be installed above a central island, where its size is proportionate and its oval design adds a point of visual interest.

In a large bathroom, provided that electrical conditions allow it, a lamp like this can function as the main decorative element. In that context, the beige papyrus and black steel offer a combination that blends the natural with the contemporary. The lamp also fits in mixed-use spaces, such as studios or integrated living areas, where a single light source is sought to visually define the area.

Nahtrang's design for FARO combines materials of natural origin — papyrus — with a precision metal structure. European production ensures control over finishes and the assembly process. The oval shade, built with strips, is not an added decorative element: it is the very structure of the luminaire, which gives it formal coherence and a refined appearance from any angle.

Questions and answers

Does the 1300 mm diameter of this lamp refer only to the shade or does it include any other element?

The total diameter of 1300 mm corresponds to the overall oval shade of the luminaire. It is an important measurement for calculating whether the available space on the ceiling and in the room is sufficient before carrying out the installation.

Is the beige papyrus shade sensitive to direct sunlight or ambient humidity?

Papyrus can deteriorate with prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct sunlight. It is recommended to install this lamp indoors in stable environmental conditions, away from windows that receive constant direct sunlight.

Does the E27 socket of this lamp accept any LED bulb on the market with that base?

Yes, the E27 socket is standard and compatible with the majority of LED bulbs available on the market. The only condition is to respect the maximum wattage of 15W indicated by the manufacturer to ensure correct and safe operation.
