A luminaire (11) has a shell housing with an upper shell section (13) and a lower shell section (15) that form an interior cavity (21) and at least one side opening (22) through which an observer can see into the interior cavity of the shell housing from a position below the luminaire when the luminaire is positioned overhead the observer. The interior cavity has a lower region which is hidden from the direct line-of-sight of an observer below the luminaire. At least one and suitably a plurality non-revealed upwardly facing area light sources, such as OLEDs, are supported on the lower shell section of the shell housing and disposed in the lower region of the interior cavity thereof so as to produce light within the interior cavity and so as to be hidden from the direct line-of-sight of an observer below the luminaire. Upwardly facing non-revealed area light sources (27) can also be provided on the upper shell section of said shell housing for producing light that is directed overhead the luminaire from said upper shell section from additional area light sources that are hidden from the direct line-of-sight of an observer below the luminaire.
