NEW IN | The Beauty of Fluted Glass

We have designed and manufactured new fluted and fine fluted versions of some of our bestselling lighting designs. With vintage-inspired fittings and two options of handblown glass shades, these new lights combine the best of modern design with traditional metal and glasswork techniques; marrying old and new in perfect harmony.

Now made with two variations of fluted glass, the new arrivals include wall lighting, pendants and flush-mounted ceiling lights to suit any kitchen, dining room, bedroom or hallway.

CLIFTON COLLECTION
Featuring a daintier version of the bestselling Walcot shade, our brand-new Clifton lights are a perfect choice for those that admire the artistry of handblown glass.⁠ Choose from pendants, classic wall lights, or plug-ins options to achieve the Jim Lawrence look straight from the box without the worry of internal wiring,

MORSTON COLLECTION
The popular Morston range now includes two elegant matching four-arm pendants. With a choice of clear or fluted glass shades, this new take on traditional oil lamps is understated for the modern home but with a classic look that will not date.

CHALFORD COLLECTION
Made with a handblown dome shaped glass shade and statement chain, the Chalford lights are designed as a nod to the bell jars that were originally hung in the vestibules and entrance halls of Georgian homes. ⁠Now featuring fluted and fine fluted adaptations of its original shape, these new additions bring a more ornamental look to this well-loved light.


SHOTLEY COLLECTIONS

Now including two variations of fluted glass, the Shotley Collection features wall lighting, pendants and flush-mounted ceiling lights to suit any kitchen, dining room, bedroom or hallway.

MANUFACTURING IN ENGLAND

We have been working with Suffolk Glass for many years now, developing our stunning range of glass pendants, ceiling lights and lampshades using their traditional glassblowing and manipulation techniques. With a shared vision to create beautiful products with customers at the heart of what we do, when the opportunity arose to acquire the business this year it felt like a natural step for our businesses to join forces. ⁠

Putting beauty on par with practicality is a fine skill, but one which the team have honed over many years and appear to achieve effortlessly when it comes to our glass shades.
