38-inch 1001 Hans Pendant

1001 Hans Pendant 38 by Hans-Agne Jakobsson for Vaarnii.

Vaarnii, who produces honest designs in Finnish pine wood, has re-engineered three of Hans-Agne Jakobsson’s iconic pendant lights as part of their first venture into lighting.

It is believed that the design for Jakobsson’s original pine pendant resulted from a temporary solution to a glaring light in the designer’s Christmas shop window. Hoping to defuse the bright light, he created a pendant out of pine wood chips, which admirers were quickly enamoured by.

The 1001 Hans Pendant boasts a charming graphic form built from solid Finnish pine, which supports circular strips of pine veneer in varying sizes. A new solid ceiling rose has been introduced, creating an organic, uniform aesthetic.

When switched on, warm light from the small pendant light filters through the pine veneer, highlighting the material’s distinct tone and grain.
