CRÈME ATELIER

Soft Serve 02 Pendant plastic material green / Ø 31 x H 25 cm

CRÈME ATELIER Soft Serve Pendant Light, a luminous sculpture with gourmet accents

With the Soft Serve pendant, CRÈME ATELIER brings the entire indulgent world of its signature collection to life in the air. Inspired by the soft, generous curves of soft-serve ice cream, it features an almost creamy form, accented by a striated texture created through 3D printing. Its soft silhouette contrasts with a palette of fresh, expressive colors, designed to serve as true decorative accents. Available in several sizes, it can subtly punctuate a space or become a colorful focal point above a table, an island, or in a large room.

A Delicious Silhouette That Has Become a Signature

The Soft Serve Pendant draws on CRÈME ATELIER’s most recognizable motif: a succession of supple curves that seem to have been laid down in motion. This shape immediately evokes the swirls of Italian gelato or frosting—a gourmand imagery that lends the light fixture a presence that is both playful and refined. When suspended, this silhouette takes on a new dimension and creates an airy volume that naturally draws the eye.

Its striated texture plays an essential role in its identity. The fine lines created by 3D printing follow the curves of the lampshade and accentuate the sense of movement. They give the surface a graphic and tactile relief, while revealing the manufacturing process. Depending on the angle and lighting, the layers capture the light differently and enhance the depth of the form.

Color at the Heart of the Decoration

At Crème ATELIER, color is an integral part of the design. The Caramel, Cherry, Olive, Blueberry Sorbet, Lavender Sorbet, Limoncello Sorbet, Peach Sorbet, and Pink Sorbet variations directly extend the brand’s pastry-inspired universe. Their names evoke fruits, desserts, and sorbets, while their shades allow for the creation of very different atmospheres.

A soft shade helps maintain a delicate, soothing atmosphere. A brighter color, on the other hand, transforms the pendant into a true graphic statement. Hanging above a table or an island, Soft Serve can echo other colorful elements in the room or deliberately serve as the sole chromatic accent in the Decoration. This freedom of composition reinforces the collection’s highly decorative character.

Swedish manufacturing powered by 3D printing

Each pendant light is manufactured in CRÈME ATELIER’s studio in Stockholm. The brand works primarily with rPLA derived from cornstarch and Recycled Packaging. 3D printing builds the object layer by layer, minimizing material waste compared to certain traditional manufacturing processes.

Here, technology becomes a visible component of the design. The layers are not hidden behind an artificially smooth surface. On the contrary, they contribute to the pendant’s aesthetic and give each piece an immediately recognizable texture. This design choice perfectly embodies CRÈME ATELIER’s approach, which combines technical innovation, local manufacturing, and decorative expression.

A design that has already won numerous awards

The Soft Serve design has received several international accolades, including the 2024 German Design Award, the 2023 Scandinavian Design Awards, the 2022 Plaza Interiors Sustainability Award, and the 2024 Iconic Awards. It was also shortlisted for the 2023 Dezeen Awards.

This recognition highlights the uniqueness of a collection that has quickly established its own vocabulary within contemporary Scandinavian design. Indulgent shapes, expressive colors, stratified textures, and 3D printing come together to form a strong identity that has made Soft Serve one of CRÈME ATELIER’s most recognizable signatures.

Which Soft Serve pendant size should you choose?

The choice depends mainly on the size of the room and the desired effect. A more compact size works well in a dining area or as part of a group of pendants. A larger version, on the other hand, allows the light fixture to make a bolder statement above a large table, a kitchen island, or in an open space. The Soft Serve Pendant collection is available in several sizes, allowing you to use it as a single statement piece or as part of a cluster.

What type of bulb should be used with the Soft Serve pendant light?

The Soft Serve pendant should be used with a dimmable LED E27 bulb and a maximum wattage of 22 W. The bulb is not included. This choice allows you to adjust the color temperature and light output to suit the desired ambiance.

Is the Soft Serve pendant light compatible with a dimmer?

Yes. CRÈME ATELIER states that the Soft Serve Pendant provides dimmable light. However, the dimming function is not built directly into the fixture. To use it, you must use a LED E27 dimmable bulb and have an electrical installation compatible with dimming.

Where should you install a Soft Serve pendant light?

The Soft Serve Pendant works particularly well above a dining table, a kitchen island, a Console table, or in an entryway. Its generous shape visually frames the area below while maintaining a sense of softness. In a dining room, a colorful finish can become the focal point of the arrangement. In a more minimalist interior, a more subtle shade helps highlight the fixture’s texture and curves. When arranged together, multiple pendants can also create a rhythmic visual pattern in a large space.

Is the ceiling rose included?

Yes, the ceiling rose is included with the pendant light. The cable is made of fabric, a finishing detail that complements the light fixture’s refined character and allows for elegant integration into the space.

With the Soft Serve pendant, Crème ATELIER brings color, softness, and a touch of indulgence to contemporary lighting. Its generous silhouette, graphic texture, and expressive color palette make it much more than just a light source. A piece with character, designed to instantly give an interior a warmer, more creative, and unique identity.
