Enso Raw Pendant
Designed by Lars Vejen
Inspired by traditional Japanese wood joinery, Enso Raw combines specially coated washi paper with solid oak craftsmanship to create a pendant that evolves more dramatically over time through the natural force of gravity. Where the original Enso begins as a nearly perfect circle, Enso Raw is installed already slightly oval, settling into a more pronounced oval form over time

Enso explores the relationship between craftsmanship, gravity and imperfection. Inspired by traditional Japanese wood joinery, the pendant begins as a nearly perfect circle before naturally settling into a softer oval shape over time.
The pendant combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern LED technology. Its lightweight washi paper shade softly diffuses the light source, while the solid oak joinery introduces warmth, structure and precision to the overall silhouette.
Designed to work both individually and in compositions, Enso creates a calm architectural presence above dining tables, kitchen islands, meeting tables and hospitality interiors.
- Frame in solid oak in 3 finishes
- Shade in PVC-coated Japanese washi paper
- Integrated dimmable LED
- Adjustable black steel wire (3.5 meters)
- Black cable (4 meters)
- Black metal canopy
The oak construction is assembled using discreet magnetic connections, allowing the shade to be easily opened for cleaning and maintenance.
As gravity naturally influences the shape over time, each Enso pendant develops its own subtle character.

Dust can be removed from both the inside and outside of the shade using a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
For more thorough cleaning over time, the shade can be carefully opened and placed on a clean surface. Gently wipe using a soft cloth lightly wrung in lukewarm water.
The shape of gravity
The pendant is shaped by the subtle force of imperfection and the lamp itself becomes a collaboration with gravity. First installed, Enso takes on a slightly oval shape, and it slowly settles into its final oval shape.
Never quite perfect, and never quite the same.
Danish meets Japanese design in one pendant
Enso (Japanese for ‘circle’) draws from a classic calligraphic motif, an artist’s quest to form a perfect circle while acknowledging how gravity shapes it over time.
Enso represents the meeting of Danish in Japanese design, resulting in a soft, diffused light.
- Danish oak wood joinery fixed with magnets.
