Story
Story
The Tigra starts with more copper than most pendants need. The dome is wide and low, pressed generously outward from the center before the craftsman closes the top into a small raised boss — a rounded knob at the crown where the socket emerges. That detail is not decorative. It comes from the shaping process itself: as the metal is worked inward to close the top of the dome, the excess material has to go somewhere, and rather than hammering it flat, the craftsman lets it gather into that small raised form at the apex. It is the most honest part of the lamp.
Then the tiger patina is applied, and this is where the Tigra becomes something that is very difficult to look away from. A deep forest-green verdigris is built up across the entire surface first — dense, matte, fully covering the copper beneath. Then, in a second stage, the patina is selectively removed in large, irregular patches, exposing the raw copper-gold beneath. The removal is done by hand, with a tool that drags across the green surface and lifts it away in broad organic shapes — not fine stippling, not a pattern, but bold irregular islands of bright copper that sit against the dark green ground like a topographic map or like the camouflage markings of something that evolved to disappear into complex environments. The contrast between the two tones is the highest in the Hevna range. Green this dark next to copper this bright does not soften — it confronts.
The interior is raw copper, and when lit, the warm gold light it throws downward makes the dark green exterior look even richer by contrast. The Tigra is the pendant for rooms that are not afraid of presence.
Finish & patina
Finish & patina
Every hevna pendant is solid, unlacquered metal — no coating, no sealer. The finish is the metal, so it lives and changes with use. Out of the water, that change is slow and gradual.
- Brass — starts golden and bright, then mellows into a warm, antique amber over months.
- Copper — settles from bright into rich russet and chocolate tones.
- It ages evenly — with no water and little handling, a pendant patinas slowly and uniformly, not in patches.
- Want it bright? An occasional wipe of polish keeps the shine for years.
- Want it aged? Leave it — it deepens on its own into a finish people pay extra to fake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it hardwired, and can my electrician install it?
Is it hardwired, and can my electrician install it?
Yes. Each pendant hardwires to a standard ceiling junction box with the included canopy and uses a standard medium-base socket, so an electrician installs it like any quality hardwired fixture. We recommend a licensed electrician, which is standard practice for any hardwired light
What bulb does it take, and is it dimmable?
What bulb does it take, and is it dimmable?
It takes a standard medium-base bulb. Bulbs are sold separately so you can choose the style and color temperature you want. With a standard bulb and a compatible dimmer switch, the light dims smoothly from bright to soft. The exact bulb fitting and maximum wattage for your model are listed in its specifications.
Can I adjust the hanging height?
Can I adjust the hanging height?
Yes. The hanging hardware is adjustable so you can set the right drop for your ceiling and the space below. The type of rod, cord, or chain and its adjustable range are listed in the product specifications for each model.
Will the copper age indoors too?
Will the copper age indoors too?
Yes, slowly. Without the water and daily handling of a kitchen, copper softens over months into a richer, warmer tone rather than a deep patina. The warm glow it throws off, and the reflection inside the shade, is what makes light from solid copper feel different from a plated fixture. If you ever want the brighter look back, a copper polish restores it.
Is it solid copper, or plated like cheaper pendants?
Is it solid copper, or plated like cheaper pendants?
Solid copper. Cheap pendants are usually plated steel or zinc, where the thin coating eventually chips or clouds and cannot be brought back.
Solid copper has no coating to fail. It ages instead of degrading, and a polish always returns it.
Every pendant carries a free shipping, and free returns.
