46-Inch Hans Pendant 1002

1002 Hans Pendant 46 by Hans-Agne Jakobsson for Vaarnii.

Initially designed in the 20th century, 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.

Boasting a distinctly graphic silhouette, the striking forms are built from solid Finnish pine and circular strips of pine veneer in differing sizes. A new solid ceiling rose has been introduced, creating an organic, uniform aesthetic.

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