The [Penna Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unform-studio1), which was recently debuted by [Cerno](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linea-selva) during [ICFF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillar-collection), is characterized by two incredibly slick and elegant lighting designs. Each silhouette in the range entertains an elongated form that extends and effortlessly showcases the high-quality material combination of the lamps.

In terms of construction, Cerno utilizes walnut wood, leather, and brass. These elements have been combined to introduce a strong balance and a sophisticated feel. The main aim with this capsule for designer Nick Sheridan was to "illuminate the wood body of the fixture to showcase the grain."

The Penna collection spotlights two elegant lighting designs that are ideal for the interior of the contemporary home or a classy dining establishment. One is a pendant fixture and the other silhouette is a wall sconce.
