A larger version of Tom Raffield's most popular pendant, the Skipper. The Skipper features a minimalist design, appealing to those who are looking for an understated look. The shade incorporates the brand's signature steam bent design in stunning oak; ash; or walnut and is finished with a non-toxic varnish. Its petal-like shapes take form to allow light to intercept and cast shadows across your room. The quality and aesthetic of the wood remains at the helm in accordance with Scandinvian design principles. Fittings are included and feature an adjustable pendant cord. Growing up surrounded by the natural beauty of Exmoor, England, Tom Raffield was inspired at an early age by the unspoiled landscapes of his environment. Whilst studying at art school he developed an innovative steaming method which allowed him to manipulate a variety of wood types and bring his stunning designs to life. These contemporary pieces are heavily influenced by forms found in nature, and are constructed using sustainable materials and ecologically sound practices. Handmade in Cornwall, England, Tom Raffield's exquisite collection of lighting and furniture offers a remedy to the current throw-away culture, and re-introduces the concept of the cherished collectible.
