The attention to detail and the quality of craftsmanship in our lighting collections are key aspects that define our design aesthetic. Jewelry design is an important part of our brand DNA, and is massively influential during the lighting design process. Whether that be jewelry clasps that have been reinterpreted for our signature metallic prong fixings on the Briolette Pendants, the use of warm light dispersing through the double-blown glass reflecting a diamond on a necklace pendant, or the prong detailing on our Welles lighting series, our aim is to create glowing pieces of contemporary jewelry for any home or hospitality setting.
Our signature design materials consist of steel hardware and hand-blown glass, we use specialist artisans to supply our materials and all our pieces are handmade to order in our Montreal studio, which enables our designs to be fully customizable. There are virtually endless possibilities of how our fixtures can be configured and adapted to a room, so we spend a great deal of time with our clients to ensure what they specify is tailored to their individual requirements.
The LED is a core component to our products. They not only need to be functional when it comes to factors such as temperature control, they also are a celebrated part of the overall design. For example, Sybille de Margerie’s Welles Reimagined capsule collection showcases the LED as an integral part of the design. The design offers a skeleton Welles metal frame and moveable vegan leather magnetic panels to manipulate light to suit varied environments, which leaves much of the inner workings of the fixture - wires and cables - exposed. Therefore, the LED selection was as significant as material choice such as the vegan leather.
