Crystal Lighting by Lee Broom


We've recently added a new lighting range to our collection from rising design star Lee Broom. The crystal lighting range by exhibits British design and craftsmanship at its very best. Made from lead crystal in Cumbria they display cut crystal patterns which produce an incredible spectacle once illuminated. An ornamental light fitting, Crystal Bulb, surpasses the need for an additional shade instead focusing on its decorative flair. Alone or in a cluster they create an enchanting light effect. To complement its superior form a gold silk flex and brushed brass ceiling rose can be purchased engraved with the Lee Broom crest. The Crystal Bulb's predecessors, Bell Decanter Light and Square Decanter Light are created from vintage decanters sourced from markets and vintage stores and as a result have their own character, shape and size, an ode to their timeless beauty.

Knoll Marc Krusin Collection

The Marc Krusin collection from Knoll includes a range of seating solutions and side tables which celebrate clean linear lines of reserved beauty. Named after its designer, Marc Krusin, his sensitivity to graceful and modest form is visible through the Krusin Dining Chair and Krusin Lounge Chair. The low sheen woods, high gloss polished black lacquer and natural woven paper rush seat complements its refined silhouette which can also be chosen with an upholstered seat in a range of Kvadrat fabrics and Spinneybeck leathers. With or without arms, each display an inherent calmness whilst still retaining a contemporary appearance attained through subtle angular contours and bends. This is further visible with the Krusin Side Tables, of three functional sizes, and Krusin Coffee Table with the continuous lines of the base intersecting to create a defined foundation. The careful selection of marble tabletops and solid wood frames reinforces its expert construction. By maintaining a graceful visual silence throughout the collection, each sit comfortably with many different design styles.
