THE VELIA SUSPENSION | DUTCH SILK & STRUCTURAL IRON

I. The Atmosphere

The Velia Suspension captures a moment of suspended gravity. Inspired by the fluidity of linen drying in the Tuscan breeze or the precise tension of nautical sails, this fixture transforms light into a soft, undulating wave. The illuminated silk does not merely glow; it breathes, diffusing harsh bulb output into a gentle, atmospheric radiance that bathes dining tables and kitchen islands in a flattering, shadow-free wash.

II. The Materiality

The structure is skeletal and unapologetic—a rigid framework of Solid Iron finished in a matte architectural coating. Draped over this industrial spine is our premium Dutch Silk Composite. Unlike standard silks which are fragile and prone to scorching, this material is engineered for heat resistance and structure, possessing a distinct woven texture that catches the light even when unlit. It represents the perfect tension between the industrial (Iron) and the ethereal (Silk).

III. The Casalola Standard

Suspension lighting requires perfect balance. The Velia is engineered with a twin-cable aircraft suspension system that allows for micro-adjustments during installation, ensuring the rail hangs perfectly parallel to your table. The silk elements are removable for professional cleaning—a critical feature for dining environments. We ship the iron frame and silk drapes in separate protective compartments within the crate to ensure the fabric arrives crisp and uncreased.
