Tom Raffield designs are synonymous with nature; each product is hand-shaped using sustainable wood and created as sculptural pieces of art using a pioneering and ecological form of steam bending.

“The Enka Pendant marries understated simplicity with intriguing texture to create a truly unique design that will create a statement in any space.”

– Tom Raffield, founder and designer.

Working in harmony, a steam bent arch of sustainably sourced ash wood provides an aura for the dome-shaped, hand-glazed earthenware lampshade. Secured with luxurious brass flourishes, the ceramic Enka ceiling light is perfectly balanced to set a serene scene with soft ambient downlighting.

Exuding calm, the Enka Pendant celebrates the relationship between two traditional crafts. Perfect for relaxing bedroom spaces, Scandi kitchens and soothing self-care sanctuaries, the Enka's contemporary dome light shade suits a myriad of spaces.

The way forward? Paring it back.
