Wabi-Sabi Pendant Lights
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese way of seeing in which the uneven, the worn and the handmade count for more than the flawless, and these pendants carry it in their shapes: clouds, flowers, a mushroom, raw stone. All 26 pendant lights on this page have wabi-sabi in the name, from a 7 cm (2.8 in) cement drop to clouds 100 cm (39 in) across.
Stone, silk, paper or resin
The form is what makes them wabi-sabi; the material varies, so check it if natural material matters to you.
| Material | Pendants |
|---|---|
| Resin, polystyrene, polymer or fibreglass | 8 |
| Silk, linen, cloth or paper | 6 |
| Rattan, bamboo or wood | 4 |
| Cement or plaster | 3 |
| Stone | 3 |
| Iron | 2 |
The stone pendants are two in yellow travertine and one in yellow cave stone listed as marble, and one of the iron shades has a printed walnut-look finish rather than wood. Stone, paper, linen and wood are the materials the wabi-sabi guide builds the idea on.
From bedside drops to big clouds
Twenty offer a choice of sizes, and four go to 80 cm (31.5 in) or more across. For a long table, the Wabi-Sabi Japanese Retro Wooden Linear Pendant runs 80 to 180 cm (31.5 to 71 in). Wall lights and lamps in the same spirit are under organic and wabi-sabi lighting.
