METRO LA TRE — TABLE LAMP BY VALERIE OBJECTS
The Metro La Tre is a sculptural table lamp born from one of contemporary design's most celebrated tributes to urban infrastructure. In 2017, Milan–Brussels architecture studio Piovenefabi paid homage to the Milan metro system with a landmark installation at the Chicago Architecture Biennial — a floor lamp that faithfully reproduced the metro's iconic handrail. Valerie Objects then transformed that gallery statement into a full lighting collection, deconstructing the original form into its elemental shapes and reassembling them into a family of playful, architecturally rigorous lamps. The Metro La Tre is the third table lamp in the series — compact, expressive, and unmistakably metro-inspired.

Visit product page →MONOLITHIC YET DELICATE — 018 HOOP TABLE LAMP
The 018 Hoop Table Lamp by John Tree for Vaarnii is about reduction of form and an unambiguous use of quality pine wood. Hefty solid pine and fine veneer contrast and combine: the solid wood base is a naturally robust anchor, holding everything firmly in place, while 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, 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. Simple yet painstakingly engineered, monolithic yet delicate — an effortless and essential lamp for illuminating any space with warm pine-filtered light. Available in Small and Medium.
Made in Finland from sustainably sourced Finnish Scots Pine and pine veneer. Bulb supplied.

The 1001 Hans Pendant Light is Vaarnii's re-engineering of an iconic 1960s design by Hans-Agne Jakobsson. The warm glow of light filtering through pine veneer, combined with an unexpectedly graphic and elemental form, is the enduring appeal of Jakobsson's work. When Vaarnii began exploring pine in lighting design, it quickly became clear that these classic designs could not be bettered. Pine is used efficiently: its tone and grain are employed to maximum effect, projecting material mass while boasting actual lightness. Solid Finnish pine supports circular strips of high-quality pine veneer, reintroducing this classic 20th-century design to the market after decades of absence.

The 1002 Hans Pendant Light XL is Vaarnii's super-sized re-engineering of Hans-Agne Jakobsson's iconic 1960s design. After re-engineering the original Hans pendants, Vaarnii understood that the design's innovative lightweight construction could be extended even further.
