I do love that industrial look, but we're going for a bit of a cottagey look in our kitchen so I don't think it'd be appropriate. Mostly I think the value is in not having to chase cables into concrete ceilings / walls but I've never really known any dropped ceilings to look anything other than super modern. Basically I want our lights to be traditional pendants over key areas with under cabinet lighting for the worktops. Can dropped ceilings look anything other than modern? I've only ever seen them used to recess spots.

Rogue, but for that cottagey look put in some 'faux' beams and run the cables through the beams?!

Conduit hidden above wall cabs / behind conicing with a short run of flex from the wall to a hook? I reckon that’d look fine with pendants, just make sure it’s nice and neat and the flex runs are straight / square to the wall.

Pendants with a 2m ceiling doesn't sound a great idea if anyone over six foot is ever in the kitchen.

Depending on the aesthetic you’re going for, you could do galv conduit and surface mount spots like these.
