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.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Vaarnii is a Finnish design brand built on a singular conviction: that pine, the most abundant wood in Finland's sustainably managed forests, deserves to be taken seriously as a luxury material. Every Vaarnii product is made by a small circle of expert Finnish craftspeople using PEFC-certified, slow-grown timber. The result is furniture of rare honesty — objects that age visibly, gracefully, and with character.
