Cobonpue® Barnacle Hanging Light Small

The Cobonpue® Barnacle Hanging Light Small takes its cue from the irregular, clustered forms of barnacles, translating an organic structure into a sculptural pendant. Hand-formed rice paper elements are assembled around a steel framework, creating a layered surface of translucent openings and softly textured edges. When illuminated, light filters through the paper at different intensities, giving the shade a warm, atmospheric glow while emphasising its individual form. At 390mm wide, it has enough presence to read as a design object without overwhelming a considered interior.

Design Details

• Hand-assembled rice paper forms create an irregular, organic surface inspired by naturally occurring barnacle formations.
• A concealed steel structure supports the lightweight paper composition while maintaining its sculptural silhouette.
• The translucent rice paper diffuses light softly, with variations in thickness and opening creating subtle shifts in illumination.

Why It Works

• The soft white rice paper provides a tactile counterpoint to timber, stone, plaster and other natural interior materials.
• Its clustered, asymmetrical form introduces visual interest without relying on strong colour or decorative pattern.
• Particularly suited to bedrooms, dining areas or intimate living spaces where a softer, more atmospheric source of light is appropriate.
