Hang it low over a dining table for intimate meals; raise it for open, ambient illumination. Very few vintage pendants offer this level of flexibility.

Hammerborg's genius for combining functional innovation with sculptural restraint is on full display in the Tarok. The brown powder-coated exterior and white reflective interior create a lamp that projects warmth both in colour and in light quality — the white interior bounces and softens the illumination, while the brown exterior grounds the form in an earthy, considered palette. The brass pull handle is a small but refined detail that adds a tactile, premium quality to every interaction. This piece has an attribution mark,
