Price History
Description
A sculpted ceiling light that fuses minimalist design with responsibly-sourced, natural materials. The Large Kern pendant from Tom Raffield suspends a steam-bent solid oak hoop from an adjustable fabric flex. Its smooth, striking shape tethers five brass bulbholder fixings, so it's an exposed lighting solution for your contemporary home. Made in the UK, this pendant redefines the traditional chandelier, allowing you to enhance your space with direct and precise lighting. The ceiling flex can be installed and adjusted at the exact height you need it.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant because of its minimalist yet warm design-making it a versatile piece that can elevate both modern and rustic interiors. The solid oak brings a natural, tactile element that softens contemporary spaces, while the black wiring adds contrast and character. It works particularly well in dining rooms or open-plan kitchens, where its statement shape can be a focal point without overwhelming the space. For styling tips, try pairing it with exposed filament bulbs for an industrial look or add a dimmer switch to create atmosphere. It also complements neutral colour palettes beautifully and can be layered with other wooden or textured elements for a cohesive, stylish scheme.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
