Story
Story
The Orba is built around one of the oldest forms in metalwork — the perfect hemisphere. No taper, no lip, no ornamentation. Just a copper sheet, pressed and worked by hand into an even half-sphere, the kind of shape that looks simple until you try to make one. The craftsman works the metal from the center of the crown outward in slow, deliberate passes, keeping the curve consistent all the way to the open edge. Any unevenness in the strike pattern shows immediately on a form this pure, so the hammering is careful, patient, and done by feel as much as by eye.
Once the shape holds, the patination begins — and this is where the Orba becomes something beyond a light fixture. The crown is oxidized first, driven through copper's natural color progression until it settles into a deep warm brown. Then the verdigris process is applied across the lower body: a carefully controlled chemical reaction, the same one that turns ancient copper rooftops and old harbor statues that particular shade of weathered green. The two zones meet somewhere in the middle of the dome — not at a line, but at a horizon — brown above bleeding into green below in a gradient that looks like weather, like time, like something that happened slowly and couldn't be rushed.
Inside, the copper is left entirely untreated. When the bulb fires, the raw interior throws a warm amber glow downward — a private warmth hidden inside a surface that looks like it belongs to a different century.
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.
