Are you in the market for new lighting solutions? Whether it is your living area, outdoor area, kitchen or work space, there are an abundance of choices to suit your space and various types of light options.
PENDANT LIGHTS
Whether you are after the wow factor and grand entrance light or a simple shape, the range of lighting options is vast. when selecting your light, you need to bear in mind the lights purpose (functional or decorative) and how low you should hang it.
Large wow factor pendants such as the Midnight Pendant by Resident lighting, requires a large space. The pendant consists of 12 sides and spans at a width of an amazing 1.5 meters. This light contains a high quality and high output LED light source that is recessed and diffused inside the brushed aluminium and brass body. This sort of light is great for large entrance ways and suitable for both residential and commercial settings. Simple in form, this pendant offers both a functional and decorative look.
If you are hanging a pendant over a dining table, you would be more inclined it to hang low, creating a more intimate setting. The Bell Lamp designed by Andreas Lund & Jacob Rudbeck for Normann Copenhagen is a great lighting option for this sort of use. The expression of Bell is robust, the form is simple and the name comes from its iconic bell shape where special attention has been paid to its details. The Bell comes in 4 sizes so it is great for a range of uses and spaces.
Perhaps you are after a simple stand alone small piece or a group or lights in mixed materials. The simplistic form of the Material Pendant designed by Noergaard & Kechayas for New Works brings the magic of marble, clay, steel, cork and oak together to create individual looks with the same shape. Perfect for the hallway either singular or in a bunch, these pendants offer completely different looks to suit just about any room.
TABLE LAMPS
For your bedside or desk, the whole room’s space and setting when choosing a table lamp must be considered. If you are after a living, dining or sitting room lamp – you would need one that projects a larger spread of light. The Spar Junior designed by Jamie McLellan for Resident is a great option for this. The design features aluminium shade pivots on two axis, allowing light to be directed as desired.
Alternatively, more contained lights work better for a bedside or desk. The Bowl Table Lamp designed Knut Bendik Humlevik by New Works offers a gentle light source. The design combines glass and copper in an old lantern like shape. The glass has a toned appearance that creates a calming spread of light with a smoky aura.
FLOOR LAMPS
Floor lamps either for their functional decorative form can be striking or sit quietly in a corner. Floor lamps as a rule of thumb need to relate to the size of the room and the furniture in it. Ensure it is a piece that can enhance the room rather than take over.
The Five Floor Lamp by New Works is made of five raw elements (thus its namesake) to create the pure function of illumination supply. It has raw looking elements that are simple and purposeful, allowing the lamp to sit quietly in the corner and spread light.
The Foundry floor lamp by Resident on the other hand is a more sculptural piece. Standing at 1.9m high, the rectangular shaped body houses an LED light source that projects warm light onto the surface below.
WALL LIGHTS
Wall lights offer a soft ambiance to your scheme. They can have a decorative element or used to highlight art, pictures or simply and subtly illuminate as safety lighting for hallways, staircases and exteriors.
The V Wall light is a feature wall light made of Brass by Resident lighting. The contour traces an equilateral triangle and projects light vertically downwards and upwards against a wall. The V light contains a warm LED light source which can be suspended in a variety of ways with its adjustable wires.
Designed by Derek Derksen for New Works the Moire light is a decorative wall light. The name comes from the play of patterns in moiré jewellery where patterns are overlaid and create a ripple appearance. Rings, squares and hexagons appear with the movement of the layered copper pattern.
LED TRACK LIGHTING
Track lighting is a good mixture of decorative and technical lighting. They generate much less heat, consume less power and produce better light quality. The track lighting system works by lights that clip into a track. These tracks come in straight lengths and runs recessed, surface mounted or even suspended from the ceiling with the use of a lead or chain.
The Echo Track light by Resident offers high output directional lights, with perfect light distribution. The light has snap on lenses which can be customised on-site to change colour temperature, glare and beam angle.
