The Octo Pendant by Secto Design, created by architect Seppo Koho, embodies refined Scandinavian craftsmanship through its signature open slatted form. Handmade in Finland from form-pressed birch, the design softly diffuses light downward while allowing a gentle ambient glow to escape between the wooden ribs. The result is a balanced lighting experience that feels warm, architectural, and inviting.
Available in two sizes, the larger Octo 4240 offers a more commanding presence suited for dining tables or open spaces, while the smaller Octo 4241 provides a compact, versatile option ideal for clusters, smaller rooms, or layered lighting compositions.
The Octo pendant is defined by its airy geometric structure, where thin birch slats form a lightweight yet visually impactful silhouette. The open design reduces glare while maintaining strong downward illumination, making it suitable for both task and ambient lighting. Its versatility allows it to function as a standalone focal point or as part of a repeated installation across larger spaces.

Open slatted construction creates soft, glare free light

Both sizes share the same construction and lighting philosophy, with proportional scaling to suit different spatial needs. The fixture directs light downward while allowing lateral diffusion through the slats, enhancing depth and atmosphere. Designed for longevity, the structure maintains airflow around the bulb to prevent overheating and ensure consistent performance.
