there is a strong trend for refined,
industrial lighting, which is particularly
effective over a work surface or breakfast

trend that has been ever growing in
popularity, which is centred around
the connection between humans and
nature, and can take shape in a number
of ways. Bulbs and structures may be
green and a physical representation
of nature in the shape of a leaf, or
alternatively the fixtures may be more
subtle with incorporation of natural
materials.
