Poiju pendant lamp. Black ash.
The ash made Poiju lamp has a beautiful and classic shape in which you can see references to mooring buoys and old fishing floats. The name of the light fixture also reflects this fact, as “poiju” means “buoy” in Finnish.
For me as a Finn wood was the natural choice of material for the design. In a country surrounded with forests, it is a traditional but also an ecological choice. In the product the wood grain is beautifully visible and makes the surface alive. Because of the nature of the material each piece is unique. Even though the product is a lighting fixture, you still want to feel it. ‘The tactile feel of the material is awesome!’ according to designer Timo Niskanen.
The fabric covered power cord is casually tied into the painted middle part of the lamp that connects two halves of ash together. The Poiju pendant lamp has a pleasing spotlight type of light that makes it ideally suitable especially for dining and coffee tables, both alone or in a group.

"This is what I have been doing all my spare time for the past year and a half. And now here it is; HIMMEE. I am Timo the founder of Himmee, a designer, a lower secondary shool shop class teacher and last but most importantly a father of two sons. Back in my childhood I built Legos and my NHL career was left as a distant dream. During my professional career I have designed products, marketing material and everything related. As my own mission I have travelled around the world carrying my lamps around and trying to find right manufacturers for them. I have found a few good ones but the collaboration has always ended for various reasons. Bored with constant calculating and compromises, I put the lamps aside and concentrated on teaching. However, passion attracted me to lamp design again and the idea of my own lighting brand developed in my mind. I had doubts about leaping from being a designer to handling the whole business. Encouragement from my loved ones helped and I decided to launch my own lighting brand.
Himmee is my idea of good design without middlemen, compromises and calculation directly to you."
