MYKISS FISH PENDANT LIGHT BY MINKE VAN VOORTHUIZEN

The MYKISS FISH PENDANT LIGHT BY MINKE VAN VOORTHUIZEN is a pendant light that earns its place in a room twice — once as a functional light source, and again as a sculptural object that rewards attention whether lit or dark. Designed by Minke van Voorthuizen for Amsterdam-based design brand POLSPOTTEN, this horizontally resting porcelain fish draws on a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility: restraint in form, warmth in material, and quiet wit in concept.

The fish sculpture is cast in smooth, matte unglazed white porcelain — a deliberately raw finish that gives the surface a soft, tactile quality and, critically, allows light to diffuse gently through the ceramic wall from within. When lit, the belly of the fish glows with a warm, amber-toned luminosity that spreads softly across surrounding surfaces. The home decor lamp’s low horizontal form casts long, characterful shadows across walls and shelving — a secondary layer of ambient decoration that shifts as the light source position changes. Two slender silver whiskers extend forward from the face, adding a moment of delicate graphic detail to the otherwise simple sculptural form.

Equally effective as a bedside lamp, shelf accent, or standalone art object, the MYKISS FISH PENDANT LIGHT BY MINKE VAN VOORTHUIZEN also makes an exceptional gift — supplied in packaging that reflects the piece’s design quality.
