Tom Raffield Skipper Pendant

The Skipper Pendant by Tom Raffield is expertly handcrafted from his studio in Cornwall. Each shade comprises twenty made-to-measure pieces of timber that are steam-bent to form the iconic twists and bends showcased in this design. Tom Raffield, a world leader in the craft of steam-bending, utilises this method as it is low-energy and low-waste, aligning with his eco-friendly philosophy. The Skipper Pendant is available in a choice of sustainably sourced walnut, oak, or ash timber. Each finish is chosen for its durability, warm tones, and ability to be steam-bent into the desired shape.

The undulating loops of timber are synonymous with the Skipper Collection. Enclosed within is the light source, casting pockets of light through gaps in the shade. This projects an intriguing play of light and shadows against the surrounding walls while filling the room with a cosy and warm atmosphere. The Skipper Pendant is available in two sizes. In smaller spaces, display a singular pendant above a bed or dining table to provide an elegant focal point. In larger rooms or commercial spaces with high ceilings, create a grand display using a cluster of pendants in each finish hanging at altering heights to layer the light and add to the room’s ambiance.
