Lighting Case Studies

Modern decorative lighting

We work with a tremendously wide range of different designers and manufacturers to specify exactly the right fittings for each project.  We look for excellent quality, good value (which doesn’t mean cheap), unusual and elegant design, and technical performance.  Below are a few of our favourite brands and fittings.  As the delineation between traditional and contemporary is quite subjective (and some brands have a diverse range of designs) we would recommend also having a look under the ‘Traditional Contemporary’ range as well to get a flavour of other types of fittings which we use and can supply.
