Description
This beautifully shaped Varuna glass pendant has a generous form and is finished with classic Nkuku materials of tactile hand carved sustainable mango wood and brass for a stylish twist that creates a standout modern classic. Great in any setting, from a hallway to a living room, although it works particularly well in a kitchen lined up over an island or over a dining table.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Nkuku Varuna pendant for its natural, rustic appeal and versatile look. Its mango wood detail adds warmth and texture, making it a great choice for both contemporary and boho interiors. The clear glass provides a light, airy feel that enhances the overall space without overwhelming it. This pendant works well above kitchen islands, dining tables, or in cosy reading corners, especially when paired with other natural or organic materials. For styling tips, consider installing a cluster of different sizes or hanging it at various heights for an eye-catching feature. Keeping the surrounding decor simple allows the pendant to stand out and truly shine.
