STILNOVO Quad 8522 / 8523 – designer LED pendant with 9 modules, direct/indirect light, DALI-Push dimming
STILNOVO Quad (8522 in white or 8523 in black) is a contemporary LED pendant defined by a bold, architectural presence. Its shape is formed by nine square modules that connect into a light, geometric composition. Quad is designed specifically to illuminate larger surfaces—making it an excellent choice above a dining table, kitchen island, long reception counter, or in an open-plan living area where the fixture is expected to both light the space and elevate the interior’s character.
Key features you will notice immediately after installation
- 9 modules – strong visual impact above a table: the proportions and length work particularly well with rectangular tabletops.
- Bi-emission (direct/indirect lighting): the luminaire emits light downward for comfortable task illumination and upward to create a soft ceiling glow—making the room feel more layered, refined, and complete.
- Integrated topLED: a clean silhouette with no visible bulbs; the light is diffused and pleasant for everyday use.
- DALI-Push control: professional-grade dimming for smart homes and commercial projects—compatible with the DALI bus and Push DIM (via a momentary push-button, e.g., a bell-type switch).
- Premium finish and durable materials: painted aluminium/metal body with a transparent polycarbonate diffuser, steel suspension cables, and discreet cable routing.
3000K light and CRI 90 – comfort you can feel
Quad delivers 3000K (warm white), the most popular choice for living rooms, dining areas, and kitchens because it enhances materials while remaining visually clean and neutral. A CRI of 90 ensures faithful colour rendering—important for food presentation, wood tones, and textiles in residential interiors as well as hotels, offices, and showrooms.
8522 vs 8523 – the only difference is colour
- 8522 – white: ideal for bright, minimalist interiors (Japandi, soft minimal, modern classic).
- 8523 – black: suited to high-contrast schemes, loft aesthetics, and elegant commercial spaces.
Dimensions and installation – planning guidance
This is a slim-profile fixture with a strong spatial presence: the structure is only approx. 2 cm high, keeping the design visually light even at larger scale. Cable suspension enables precise height adjustment, including in tall interiors (maximum drop up to 5 m). Quad performs best wherever you want crisp geometry and evenly distributed light across a larger surface.
Recommended applications – where Quad looks and performs best
- Above a dining table: even tabletop illumination plus ceiling glow—ideal for gatherings and dinner settings.
- Above a kitchen island: clear zone definition and high comfort for food prep and daily tasks.
- In an open-plan living space: a statement feature with dimming for evening scenes.
- Reception areas, lobbies, meeting rooms: professional aesthetics, high-quality light, and DALI control.

FAQ
Is this a dimmable version?
Yes. This variant features the DALI-Push system (DALI + Push DIM).
What does Push DIM mean?
Push DIM allows brightness control via a momentary push-button. A short press typically turns the fixture on or off, while holding the button down smoothly increases or decreases the light level, managed by the integrated driver electronics.
Does Quad emit light only downward?
No. Quad is a bi-emission luminaire—it provides functional downward illumination and an atmospheric upward glow toward the ceiling.
Can the LED be replaced like a standard bulb?
No. The fixture uses integrated LED technology, ensuring a slim profile and uniform light distribution without visible light sources.
Is Quad suitable for high ceilings?
Yes. The adjustable suspension and maximum drop of up to 5 metres make it fully appropriate for installation in taller interiors.
