A Pendant Lamp Inspired by Finland's Natural Light

Annabell, by industrial designer Elizabeth Salonen

By Rain Noe - January 8

in Lighting

This attractive acrylic Annabell pendant lamp is by Mottoform, a/k/a industrial designer Elizabeth Salonen.

"Light and darkness are a big part of life in Finland," says Salonen. "I'm inspired by light. When it's cold and dark in the Finnish winter, you stay inside. Fire and light are the closest you get to the sun's energy."

"I was also inspired by the rounded, plastic shapes of the 1960s, which came about, in part, from the thermoforming process."

The Annabell is in production by Finnish lighting manufacturer Fosto.
