About this asset

Sculptural contemporary pendant light 3ds Max model featuring an articulated koi fish form crafted from overlapping natural wood veneer scales. Taking inspiration from traditional Asian carp imagery, this statement luminaire depicts a swimming koi fish suspended mid-air by discrete ceiling wires. The body is formed from layered wood veneer scales that create a delicate, textured shell over an internal luminous core. Sweeping fin extensions and elongated barbels protrude from the head and torso, while an elaborate multi-strand fan forms the dramatic trailing caudal fin. Intricate wireframe and slat detailing on the head geometry allows light diffusion, giving the natural timber grain depth and warmth across its articulated, curved silhouette.

Import the MAX file into 3ds Max to position this suspension fixture as a dramatic focal element in high-ceiling environments. Suspension cables can be vertically extended or adjusted to match project ceiling heights. Materials are assigned to mimic translucent wood veneer, allowing internal light sources to transmit through the layered skin when illuminated with standard photometric lights or self-illuminated shader setups.

Ideal for grand hospitality lobbies, high-end restaurant dining halls, luxury retail atriums, and multi-storey residential stairwells, this monumental fixture functions simultaneously as architectural lighting and kinetic sculpture. It complements minimalist, Japandi, biophilic, and contemporary interior schemes where organic warmth softens hard stone or concrete finishes. Specifiers often search for wooden fish chandelier, statement suspension luminaire, sculptural pendant lighting, and oversized feature illumination.
