Our vision is to deliver a range of iconic lighting for both contract interiors and domestic spaces. By working in collaboration with like-minded retailers, we have the capacity to design, manufacture and distribute to individual clients, as well as major retailers, both nationally and internationally.
The designs for this particular collection are a contemporary twist on the archetypal lantern. They combine the aesthetic qualities of our specially selected papers with the inspiration from natural geometry, to create a versatile range of sculptural shades.
The Aperture Light was designed by Claire Norcross in 2003. This sculptural paper shade was inspired by the nature of a pine cone and its ability to open and close according to the weather conditions. This aspect is reflected in the versatility of the design and the user’s ability to open and close each ‘aperture’ in order to dazzle or diffuse the light.
Our best selling Medium Aperture Shade has proved a great size for both domestic and contract interiors.
Aperture is available in 3 sizes, Small (350mm), Medium (480mm), Large (650mm).
It is a fully assembled shade, no flat pack kits to assemble and is currently a ‘shade only’ product and therefore the installation simply fits to the customers’ existing cable drop, with no electrician required.

Origami and light are a combination that has been widely explored; the layering of paper, cuts, folds and pleats, all have an added dimension with the introduction of light behind them. The Banksia shades reflect these crafted techniques in combination with the organic form, which was inspired by pine cone of the Australian Banksia tree.
Banksia is available in 2 sizes: Small 420mm diameter and Large: 520mm diameter. It is currently a ‘shade only’ product and therefore the installation simply fits to the customers’ existing cable drop, with no electrician required.

The beautiful relief pattern of our new Rosa Light continues to explore the inspiration of form taken from floral geometry. Combining this instinctive approach to geodesic structure with Claire’s affinity to paper as a material, the application of these simple cuts and score lines come together to form a graphic representation of a traditional English rose.
Rosa is available in one size: 450mm diameter. It is currently a ‘shade only’ product and therefore the installation simply fits to the customers’ existing cable drop, with no electrician required.

Luminosity awarded Best Newcomer @ Home, Earls Court, January 2013.
Our year has got off to a flying start with our first ever trade event at Home, Earls Court London. We were situated within the Home Grown area of the exhibition, which showcases a number of recently established companies. We had a really positive first day and received some great feedback about the stand, which was echoed by the quite unexpected, but very welcome, ‘Best Newcomer’ prize, awarded by Theo Williams (Creative Director at John Lewis) and Michelle Alger (Creative Director at MyDeco).
We really enjoyed the opportunity to speak with customers face to face and made some valuable new contacts, as well as spending time with existing customers to gain their feedback on the new products. It was also nice to be visited by some friendly faces and a fair few Habitat Alumni!
Our new Rosa lights were much admired, with many questions directed to the material and the forming of the paper. The Banksia lights were displayed in a cluster of 5 which worked really effectively and received more interest from interior design market, we even had a visit from the designer of the EAT cafes, who originally specified Aperture. And back to Aperture, the design is 10 years old this year and is still proving to be a firm favourite, picking up lots of new orders from many independent retail customers.
We thought we would show you some behind the scenes pictures of the stand build. While it seemed like a substantial effort to turn our walled space into a covered room, it was definitely worth it! We chose to create a really simple stand, using our pantone ref from our identity as the backdrop. We enlisted the help of the very talented Andy Mairs, whose craftsmanship, precision and general hard graft realised the vision that we had for the brand identity.
We had a great few days at Home and showed alongside some very talented and mutually supportive small companies; Rachel Taylor Designs, Diffractis and Surfacephilia. It was an impressive show which has set a high standard with the quality of exhibitors. The larger stands were taken by prestigious brands such as SCP and the creative installation by the House of Hemingway and their new range for G Plan. The smaller stands showcased a great range of products from creative companies such as the beautiful print designers, Thornback and Peel, and Trophy, the award winners for the ‘Best Product’ with their fantastic bike racks.
We will definitely be taking a stand for Home 2014!
