The Emperor's new light

And so the story begins… Long ago an Asian Emperor was given a beautiful nightingale as a gift. The bird was so beautiful and sang so beguilingly the Emperor decided to keep it forever by his side. The nightingale was placed in a beautiful majestic cage in the imperial chambers and became the delight of the Emperors days.

This ancient legend provides the design influence behind this hand woven range of Emperor Lights, designed by Neri & Hu.

The woven bamboo rattan provides the cage to an internal frosted glass diffuser, becoming your delight in any room. The lovingly hand crafted aspect to these lights, available in suspension, floor or table styles mean that these are special order items.

Emperor Suspension Light from £797.00 available in three sizes and black or red.
