Carl Hansen EK61 Opal Pendant Light
Manufacturer: Carl Hansen & Son
Designer:Ā Esben Klint
The EK61 was designed in 1961 and never made. It took sixty years and the right manufacturer to bring it to life.
Esben Klint - son of the great Danish designer Kaare Klint - conceived this pendant in pleated plastic, a material too complex to produce at the time. The design went into the family archives and stayed there until Carl Hansen & Son retrieved it, reinterpreted it in mouth-blown opal glass and hand-turned oak, and put it into production for the first time.
The result is a pendant that feels both entirely of its moment and quietly historical. The pleated, elliptical glass form diffuses light softly and evenly. The oak details - turned and honed by hand - reference traditional Chinese lantern construction without quoting it directly. It is a considered object that rewards close attention.
Available in three sizes: 160mm for a bedside or intimate setting, 240mm as a solo dining pendant, 340mm for larger spaces or grouped in clusters. Each size works alone or in multiples.
- 160mm: Max 10W ā E14
- 240mm: Max 15W ā E27
- 340mm: Max 15W ā E27
- Cord: 3m white fabric cord
- Lightsource not included
