Light and Wood in Perfect Harmony: The Hoop Vision design by John Tree – Vaarnii

HOOP VISION by John Tree for Vaarnii featuring perfect harmony between light and Finnish pine wood in minimalist design

Hefty solid pine and fine veneer contrast and combine in the Hoop Table Lamp. The solid wood base is a naturally robust anchor, holding everything firmly in place. A minimal band of pine veneer serves as a shade, softly filtering light. Each lamp base begins as a knot-free block of solid timber that is carefully machined to accommodate and conceal electrical components. Every shade is made from high-quality pine veneer purposefully cut to reveal a lively and characterful grain. Hoop is about reduction of form and an unambiguous use of quality pine wood. Simple yet painstakingly engineered, monolithic yet delicate, this is an effortless and essential lamp for illuminating any space with warm pine-filtered light.

The Hoop Lamp is available in two sizes: Large Hoop lights hunker down on sideboards and desktops, whilst Small Hoop lamps fit neatly on shelves and side tables. Hoop is shipped in two parts that slot together effortlessly without fixings. Bulb supplied.
