Elevate your living space with NEW mid-century modern lighting

In modern design, simple structural lines don’t just take up space – they define it.  This new mid-century lighting collection commands attention with our Elmwood and Mayfield lights, creating perfect statement lighting for a living room, hallway or dining space. Featuring our beautiful new French Cone Candle Clip Shades that have been designed especially for them, this collection has an understated elegance that fits comfortably into any interior style.

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL

Mid-century lights tend to have a distinct look, with angular silhouettes offsetting gentler curves. Slim metal frames boast softer fabric shades, achieving a look that is both retro and dynamic. In theory, these imbalances should contradict each other, but instead they fuse beautifully to create a timeless look that perseveres in interiors today. With our new collection we have captured the sculptural element of mid-century style, pairing it with our sought-after brass finish and elegant shade design, creating pendants and wall lighting to suit all manner of modern rooms.

Whether chosen to illuminate a living room, bedroom, or hallway, the Elmwood and Mayfield are designed to blend seamlessly into your style with a signature Jim Lawrence twist.

The Elmwood collection is understated elegance in a nutshell, designed to sit comfortably into home styles old and new. Choose from a 3 arm or 4 arm pendant, and pair with a 2 arm straight or angled wall light option.

THE ELMWOOD PENDANTS

THE ELMWOOD WALL LIGHTS

A sculptural look with simplicity in mind, the Mayfield collection is made to make a sophisticated statement. Choose from a 2 arm or 4 arm fixed stem pendant, or a 2 arm or 3 arm wall light version.

A brand new shade shape, the French Cone Candle Shade will elevate your fittings with its narrow stature and choice of classic colours in silk and linen.

Perfect for high or vaulted ceilings in either a t Perfect for high or vaulted ceilings in either a town or country home, our largest and most ornate pendant is our showstopping Montgomery. 

This bold design enhances a period interior with its dramatic but delicately made qualities. With its beautiful Rococo style scrolled ironwork and delicate acanthus leaf design finished in old gold, its beauty is a testament to the skills of our Suffolk craftsmen. ⁠

Named after the town of Montgomery in Wales, this Baroque design was influenced by the nearby Powis Castle, a medieval castle, fortress, and country house now cared for by the National Trust. 

Though grand, this large light blends beautifully into all manner of homes, as evidenced here by the gorgeous setting of @tillydrinehouse. For us, it takes about 14 hours to make the Montgomery from scratch, so you can revel in the quality of craftsmanship for many years to come.
