Mater Terho Pendant Light
Best organic lighting for eco-conscious homeowners seeking soft, ambient warmth.
The Terho Pendant Light by Mater offers a harmonious blend of natural wood and frosted glass, creating a soft, inviting ambiance. Its design draws inspiration from nature, featuring a smooth, organic shape that complements modern interiors. Available in various sizes and finishes, this pendant light is crafted to provide a warm, diffused illumination, making it ideal for dining rooms, living areas, or bedrooms. The combination of sustainable materials and elegant design makes the Terho a sophisticated choice for any contemporary home seeking a touch of natural beauty and refined lighting. Paying homage to nature in a brilliant way, this pendant light nestles milky opal glass inside responsibly sourced linden wood. It's crafted by Mater, a Danish brand that champions sustainability and ethical design. Designed by renowned Finnish designer Maija Puoskari, it resembles the rounded, organic shape of an acorn — known as “terho” in Finnish. The natural warmth of linden wood beautifully complements the opal glass, which is mouth-blown in Poland. Perfect at home or in a business environment, this pendant requires hardwiring for installation and is designed for indoor use. Choose from three sizes.

Know before you buy
The pendant is crafted from FSC-certified linden wood and mouth-blown glass. The combination of these natural, sustainable materials gives the fixture its organic, acorn-inspired aesthetic.
Yes, this fixture requires hardwiring into your ceiling. We recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure the installation is safe and compliant with local building codes.
The Terho Pendant is compatible with LED bulbs, which are generally dimmable. However, you must ensure that both the specific LED bulb you choose and your wall dimmer switch are compatible with one another.
The Terho comes in three sizes: small (5.3"), medium (9.4"), and large (12"). The small size works well in clusters over a kitchen island or bedside, while the medium and large versions are better suited as standalone statement pieces over dining tables or in living areas.
The mouth-blown glass can be cleaned by gently wiping it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the finish of the linden wood or the glass surface.
The small size uses an E14 socket, while the medium and large sizes use an E26 socket. The fixture is designed for energy-efficient LED bulbs with a maximum wattage of 6W to 9W, depending on the specific model.
