Knapstein RUNA – Pendant lights with gesture control and character

The Knapstein RUNA series stands for minimalist design and precise lighting technology. With its clean, linear form, the light blends harmoniously into modern living spaces, dining rooms, and open kitchens. It provides both direct and indirect light – creating an atmosphere that is perfectly balanced between functionality and coziness.

Two separate gesture sensors allow the uplight and downlight to be switched and dimmed independently of each other. A swipe motion is all it takes to switch the light on or off; holding your hand there longer dims it continuously. Thanks to the memory function, RUNA retains your preferred setting every time it is switched on. The light color can be adjusted variably from warm 2,200 K to neutral 3,000 K – depending entirely on the time of day and mood.

Available in various lengths and elegant finishes – such as matte nickel, bronze, or black – RUNA becomes a style-defining lighting object. Each light is manufactured with the utmost precision in the Knapstein manufactory in Sundern – quality “Made in Germany” that you can see and feel.

Furnishing tips

  • Above a long dining table, the RUNA looks especially elegant – the linear design emphasizes the geometry of the room.
  • Use RUNA in combination with warm wall colors such as greige or terracotta for a cozy ambiance.
  • Combined with clean lines and natural materials (e.g. wood, concrete, stone), it creates a harmonious overall look with a modern character.
  • For loft or minimalist interiors, the version in black or bronze is ideal – striking and luxurious at the same time.
