Designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1963 and reissued in 2025, Seki-Han is a testament to his mastery of design and wood-working expertise. The intricate construction draws on naval techniques to shape two wooden blades that rotate around the light source, leaving a slender sliver of light visible at all times for a highly poetic effect. The re-edition also introduces this elegant suspension model, identical in design but with a slightly shorter body. In both versions, Seki-Han is a living presence where the immateriality of light meets the tactility of wood.
- Emitting direct and indirect light with symmetrical and asymmetrical distribution, the pendant features two horizontal ash wood blades joined by chromed metal fittings.
- The wood is cut with an advanced CNC milling machine in Northern Italy and subjected to a special heat treatment that dries the wood fibers, preventing warping over time.
- The natural characteristics of the material ensure that each piece has a unique character.
