A dramatic statement in knitted form and light.
The Hiwa 80 reimagines the classic large-volume pendant through the softness and structure of knitted wool. Designed for expansive interiors and generous ceiling heights, it brings sculptural presence to large open spaces while maintaining a remarkable sense of lightness. Despite its scale, the knitted wool form appears almost weightless. The open knit structure allows any breezes to pass through, minimising movement. Its softly faceted geometry and gentle curves introducing warmth, texture, and a quiet feminine elegance. Our woollen lights work beautifully in warm, textural interiors, from modern coastal homes to mountain retreats.
Ideal as a main feature over large dining tables, large stairwells, or to fill high-stud living areas with volume, the Hiwa 80 creates a warm focal point within the room. The concealed bulb softens glare, allowing the knitted wool to gently diffuse light and create a welcoming glow, bold in scale, yet always comfortably at home within the space.
