Carl Hansen & Søn Wegner pendant, black – nickel

Carl Hansen & Søn’s Wegner pendant lamp is a classic design by Hans J. Wegner from 1962. “The Pendant”, as the luminaire is also called, has been in continuous production since its launch, and over the years it has achieved the status of a design icon – the lamp’s success is proof of Wegner’s skills as a lighting designer although he is most famous for his chair designs.

The gist of Wegner’s The Pendant lies in the decorative handle that allows the lamp to be pulled to the desired height without touching the shade itself. The handle is by no means only functional, but also serves as a sophisticated, distinctive detail in the otherwise rather reduced design of the pendant lamp. Thanks to the handle, The Pendant fits particularly well over a table, for example, where it can be pulled to the perfect height, but the classic look makes the pendant easily adaptable to a variety of settings. The lamp, meticulously handcrafted in Denmark, was originally part of Pandul’s collection until Carl Hansen & Søn began producing it in 2024.
