We absolutely love seeing our lights in their new homes, therefore we especially loved when lots of our products were spotted in this beautiful contemporary bar in Clapham. The Bank is set in a stunning Grade II listed building and one of our lovely customers got in touch to let us know that they have many of our lights on display. We found some fantastic images online and we just had to share them with you…
We love to hear what our customers think of our products and service and on Wednesday afternoon we were given a real treat from a rather lovely couple who took the time to email Jim this fantastic letter.
“Dear Jim
We were having lunch at a local pub here in Sussex a few weeks ago when Jill commented on a beautiful light on the wall in the style of a sheaf of corn. She suggested it would look great in our dining room (which we are about to redecorate) and so, upon returning home, she searched on Google for “cornsheaf gold wall light”, found your website and then quickly found the “Sussex” lights. We want the pendant plus 3 wall lights but were concerned about ordering them on-line without seeing the pendant (particularly because the cost was way above our original budget). So, we decided to drive up to Hadleigh to see for ourselves…“

What a week we have had at RHS Chelsea Flower Show, it really has been an amazing experience and a milestone in Jim Lawrence history. We spent 6 weeks building, planning and arranging the stand with all 40 of our outdoor and conservatory lighting range on show. There was a lot of preparation and it was amazing how many little things we had to remember – right down to that little watering can to keep all 32 of our plants alive!
So Friday arrived and we packed up the stand and off it went to Chelsea with the rest of us in tow. We spent the next two days getting everything set up and wired in – the stand looked better than ever and we couldn’t wait to show it off on Monday morning.
Our autumn competition at Jim Lawrence…
This autumn sees the release of our beautiful new ‘Anniversary Edition’ brochure. To celebrate its arrival we are offering a £100 voucher to the best photo we receive of our brochure in an interesting place. It could be abroad, it could be by your favourite chair, it could even have made it to Buckingham Palace!
When we spotted an advert for Mark Wilkinson Furniture, we were thrilled to notice that our Foster Pendant Lights have been thrown into the mix!

Back in September of last year, Matthew Morris from House & Garden magazine contacted us to see whether we could help him with a project they were working on, to be published in the February 2014 issue. As usual, we love to work with the magazines so we jumped right in.
His brief was to produce an innovative way of showcasing graphic style and he was keen to use our forged iron poles as part of his design. When we got his plans through it certainly peaked our curiosity – we just couldn’t imagine how it was all going to look!
Our craftsmen set to work producing 20mm forged iron poles that each had one or two bends in them as per his drawings. Interestingly creating his design was very similar to techniques we use to create our bespoke bay window poles so were off to a good start. Once the poles had been worked into shape they were hand finished in the desired colour.
Matthew went for Matt Black to add a contemporary feel to their shoot. The poles were then packaged and sent off for their moment in the limelight.
Come February we were eager to see how the shoot turned out. The feature, titled ‘On The Tiles’ was a set of images displaying ‘pared-back schemes using coloured tiles in bold, graphic ways.’ We think the final image is fantastic and a credit to Matthew’s imagination and flair. We certainly never thought we’d see our curtain poles looking like this…

When the owner of Le Manoir des Impressionnistes contacted us via our Facebook page, we couldn’t resist taking a little peak at their website. There we found some wonderful images and were thrilled to spot some Jim Lawrence products amongst the decor. This hotel is located in a beautiful area of Northwestern France, near the old port of Honfleur, and we just had to share some of the images with you.
Hot off the press and already making quite an impression is our beautiful new Thornton Pendant has just joined our range of pendant lighting …
