Cici Pendant, £ 199, Swoon
“ Lighting is increasingly treated as a structural element within a room rather than a decorative afterthought. A piece such as the Cici Maximalist Four-Light Pendant Light works particularly well above a dining table because it establishes presence and proportion. Hung at the correct height, it defines the zone, draws the eye downward and creates a sense of intimacy without overpowering the setting.”
Sam Greig, head of design, Swoon
SCULPTURAL FORM
This year is all about statement lighting. Choose oversized pendants, architectural chandeliers or abstract fluid forms to blur the lines between illumination and art. These pieces are designed to be noticed; whether suspended above a dining table or anchoring a living room, the emphasis is on bold yet refined shapes that elevate your scheme and are as striking when unlit as they are switched on.
“ Lighting is an easy way to incorporate sculptural form into an interior. With the ability to experiment with light reflection, size and colour, lighting style provides a unique canvas to incorporate interesting shapes and materials into an otherwise more neutral space.” darlighting. co. uk juliettesinteriors. co. uk swooneditions. com
