"SOLID" from Terence Woodgate

We've been selling the Sussex, Tactile and Dot sideboards from Spanish furniture company PUNT for a number of years, so when we found out that the award winning British designer behind these iconic designs, Terence Woodgate, was releasing his own brand of lighting, we were absolutely delighted.

Not one to disappoint, Woodgate has created a beautiful collection of pendant and ceiling lights that seamlessly combine simple design with cutting-edge technology. The collection which is made from pure, solid materials in Oak, Carrara and Nero Marquina marble are beautiful in their appearance as well as application, fully utilising the formidable benefits of LED technology.  

Each product in the lighting range comes complete with a MEGAMAN® LED lamp. MEGAMAN® is a leading global brand in high-performance, energy-efficient lighting and an innovative leader in LED lamp design whose advanced research and development facilities ensure a continuous supply of new, exciting, energy-saving lamps come to market every year.

Of the new "Terence Woodgate" lighting brand, Woodgate says that the "aim is to create exceptional lighting, by designing and engineering innovative products that are relevant, ultra-efficient and beautiful". In our eyes, the SOLID range goes a long way to meeting that brief.

The SOLID pendant and ceiling lights are now available to buy online at Utility - Shop the collection here.

New lighting additions from Flos

Launched in Milan this year Flos have now released three new designs which are now available to order. The Aim Light by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec is a fantastic 'installation' suspension light which does as it's name suggests and can be directed in different positions. Used singularly or grouped together in a maximum of 5 from one rose it's available in black or white.

Reinterpreting a design classic is a modern these in contemporary design and the Goldman Lamp, by Ron Gilad, is no exception. Goldman gives the original banker's lamp a whole new, refined image. Referencing the past in original green and bronze there's also a bang on trend version in nickel and smoke - ideal for the modern office.  Soft touch LED technology adds to its allure.

Finally Orotund by Marc Newson rounds up the trio. In white polycarbonate this round wall light combines practical illumination with sculptural flair for a statement any wall would be grateful for.

Lust after Lustre!

Lustre is a new series of pendant lights from Tom Dixon. A departure for the company, the range is hand made from stoneware by a small Dutch, family run company established over five generations. Each light has a unique look created during the manufacturing process whereby an iridescent glaze containing minerals and precious metals is used to dazzling effect. This attaches itself to the stoneware in a unique way to give an 'oil on water' effect. As each light is totally unique the colors achieved during the process range from a pale lime to a deep green. There are four shapes in the family - Lustre Round, Lustre Wedge, Lustre Flat and Lustre Square. They're each priced at £360 and are available to order now!

Tatou from Flos

This autumn sees the launch of a new range of lights from Flos by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola. Tatou comes in two suspension versions (different sizes) as well as a table lamp and floor lamp. The inspiration behind the design is antique Japanese armour but the name 'Tatou' is actually French for Armadillo - the leather creature with a protective shell. Like its namesake Tatou gives the impression of having a protective coat but at the same time offers dynamism, lightness and flexibility for any lighting application. The 'shell' actually protects direct light to the eyes and produces a harmonic play on light and shadow through the perforated sections. This is made up of four identical elements which are all interwoven to form a unified dome shape which diffuses light both up and down. Each light is available in three colours - black, ochre grey and white. From £250.00 - fantastic value for Flos - they're available now.

Juicy from Lightyears

A witches hat or a big juicer? Whatever you think the new Juicy Pendant Light from Danish company Lightyears is a real winner as an over the table dining light. In black or white it has a honeycomb filter/diffuser to prevent glare and it's available to order now for delivery on September/October.

Flos Can Can Light

The Flos Can Can Light - designed by Marcel Wanders - is an exceptional value pendant light with a dual personality. We saw this in Milan and submitted it to The Daily Telegraph as one of our hot pics from this years fair (as best small interiors shops winner). Great to see the larger version is now available to order. The clean and simple silhouette appeals to the modernist in us whilst the contrasting filigree diffuser gives Can Can a traditional twist. With a black or white body each comes with a diffuser in clear or pink. Can Can is available now and the smaller version - Mini Can Can - will be available from September. Prices have yet to be confirmed for Mini Can Can but the large one is on sale now for £178.00 with FREE delivery - fantastic value for a Flos product and Marcel Wanders design!

Kartell Elliptical Bloom Light

For a spectacular floral light display see the new Kartell Bloom Light. Developed from the original Bloom Light (launched in 2010) by Ferruccio Laviani (master of the iconic Bourgie Lamp) this new elliptical version gives the same spectacular light display in fresh new colourways. In two pendant sizes and two ceiling/surface mounted sizes it's available in crystal clear, fresh mint, summery lavender or a matt white. Starting at just £159.00 it's an ideal light for a hallway, over a dining table, living room feature pendant or bedroom - it doesn't get much more versatile than that!

Gubi Semi Pendant Light

We're really loving the Gubi Semi Pendant Light with its beautiful simple geometric shape. Sometimes known as the "Trumpet" light the Semi was designed in 1967 and is an iconic design classic.
