Featured Product Specifications
Lizzee’ playful, nature-inspired aesthetic comes to life in the Ginkgo Pendant. Blending digital fabrication with handcrafted assembly, each pendant features CNC-cut acrylic leaves layered around a 5” round LED globe bulb—creating a sculptural glow that feels both modern and organic.
The pendant’s design reflects Lizzee’s commitment to joyful, sustainable art. Produced in small batches using efficient laser-cutting techniques, each fixture is assembled in Pittsburgh, PA with care and precision.
Available in a range of bold colors—including Cobalt, Lilac, and Evergreen—the Ginkgo Pendant brings warmth and whimsy to any space. Shown here with the original domed glass diffuser; recommended for use with the updated 5″ round LED globe bulb (updated product images coming soon!).
