In a world filled with mass-produced goods, there's something truly special about handcrafted items. They possess a unique charm, an essence of the artisan's skill and creativity imbued into every curve, every detail. When it comes to lighting, this craftsmanship elevates the mundane task of illumination into an art form - introducing our collection; Handmade Lighting.

In our series "It's Not Just a Light, It's Craftsmanship," we delve into the intricate world of handmade lighting, celebrating the artisans who bring light to life through their dedication, passion, and expertise. Today, we embark on a journey through the use of different materials—ceramic, glass, and wood—to illuminate spaces with warmth, elegance, and character.
A Symphony of Materials:
Crafting with Ceramic
Ceramic has long been cherished for its versatility and beauty, and in the hands of skilled artisans, it transforms into exquisite lighting fixtures that radiate warmth and character. From delicate porcelain pendants to rustic stoneware lamps, ceramic lighting offers a wide range of styles to suit any aesthetic. Each piece is painstakingly moulded, glazed, and fired, resulting in a finished product that is as durable as it is elegant. Whether adorned with intricate patterns or left unadorned to showcase the natural beauty of the material, ceramic lighting adds a touch of artisanal charm to any space.
The Terra Collection is a perfect reflection of handmade ceramic lighting. A collection of 18 different styles and six finishes. It is a true one-of-a-kind collection with each component custom made to each product. P.s. Check out the new Terra Collection finishes - Chartreuse & Fog
Moulding with Wood
Wood lighting or timber lighting fixtures exude a timeless elegance and warmth that is unmatched by any other material. From sleek Scandinavian-inspired designs to rustic reclaimed wood creations, handmade wooden lighting fixtures showcase the natural beauty and texture of the wood grain.
Artisans use a variety of woodworking techniques, such as carving, turning, and bending, to create lighting pieces that are as functional as they are decorative. Whether it's the clean lines of a turned wood pendant or the intricate details of a carved wooden wall light, handmade wooden lighting adds a touch of organic charm to any interior space. The Silo Mini Wall Lights showcase the artistry of carving wood into a fluted design, available in three distinct finishes. Each piece is unique, highlighting the natural beauty of individual wood grains.
Shaping with Glass
Glass, with its translucent beauty and ability to play with light, offers endless possibilities for creating stunning handmade lighting fixtures. From hand-blown glass pendants to intricately etched sconces, glass artisans harness the medium's inherent qualities to craft pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
What makes handmade glass lighting truly special is the artisan's mastery of traditional glassblowing techniques. Every bubble, every swirl in the glass is a testament to the artisan's skill and expertise, creating lighting fixtures that are as unique as they are breathtaking.
One of the most enchanting aspects of handmade lighting is its one-of-a-kind nature. Unlike mass-produced fixtures, which are churned out by the thousands, handmade pieces are imbued with the individuality and personality of their creators. Each imperfection, each subtle variation in colour and texture, adds to the charm and authenticity of the piece, making it truly unique. handmade lighting invites us to appreciate the beauty of imperfection and celebrate the human touch in every detail.
