HERACLEUM COPPER PENDANT LIGHT BY BERTJAN POT

The HERACLEUM COPPER PENDANT LIGHT BY BERTJAN POT takes the botanical wire branch design that made the Heracleum series iconic and renders it in a warm copper finish — a choice that shifts the entire character of the piece. Where the dark variant recedes and hovers, the copper version announces itself, catching ambient light from every angle and turning the room around it warmer before a single lens is switched on. 

The Copper Finish — A Different Personality 

The rose-gold warmth of the copper wire branches catches light differently at every hour of the day. In the morning, the frame catches direct sun and glows. By afternoon, it settles into a rich amber tone against the wall behind it. After dark, the Electrosandwich® leaf-shaped lenses — the same proprietary technology developed by Marcel Wanders that powers the entire Heracleum range — distribute a soft, even glow across their polycarbonate surfaces, lit warmly within the copper armature. There is no glare, no visible bulb. Only branches and leaves, and the particular warmth of copper under light. 

This is a finish suited to interiors already committed to warm metals. Aged brass handles, a burnished gold mirror frame, terracotta wall paint, honey oak floors, rich walnut furniture — the HERACLEUM COPPER PENDANT LIGHT BY BERTJAN POT integrates with all of these in a way the dark version can only approach. It is the more intimate of the two, the more domestic. The one for rooms designed to feel lived-in.

Installation and Placement 

At 28.3 inches in diameter and 20.9 inches tall, the HERACLEUM COPPER PENDANT LIGHT BY BERTJAN POT carries the same generous scale as the dark variant — suited to dining rooms, open-plan living spaces, and entrance halls where a single pendant fitting is expected to define the space. The 1.32-pound weight makes installation straightforward despite the spread. The ultra-thin suspension wire disappears into the ceiling, keeping the focus on the canopy of copper branches below. 

For kitchens and dining areas with warm-metal detailing — copper taps, brass pendants, golden drawer pulls — the HERACLEUM COPPER PENDANT LIGHT BY BERTJAN POT creates a continuity of finish that elevates the room as a whole. Position it over a round or oval table for the strongest visual relationship between the organic spread of the lamp and the plane below it.
