Carl Hansen OS111 Begonya Pendant Light

Manufacturer: Carl Hansen & Søn | Designer: Øivind Slaatto, 2026

Nature, Geometry and Light

The OS111 Begonya Pendant brings together Øivind Slaatto’s fascination with mathematical order and the irregular beauty of the natural world. Inspired by the structure of the begonia flower, its elliptical form combines an organic rhythm with the precision of a carefully engineered object.

Begonya is deliberately spelt with a “y”, distinguishing the man-made light from its botanical namesake. Every cell, slat and curve is positioned to soften the illumination and minimise glare. Light is directed downwards while also passing gently through the translucent shade, producing an even ambient glow around the room.

The pendant’s internal aluminium frame has a warm finish that enriches the light and gives the structure a refined golden tone. Available in two sizes, Begonya works as an atmospheric focal point above a dining table or within a larger open space.

Craftsmanship & Finish

Each shade is assembled by hand through a complex process involving 168 carefully calibrated joining points. A single lamp can take up to seven hours to complete, reflecting the level of precision required to turn its intricate geometry into a light and balanced form.
