So too is the soft weightlessness of the feathers , thrown into relief by the utilitarian ball chain .
I can envisage how actors or dancers could embody these elements on stage . That ’ s why these creations are more than light shades to me , they can be another presence in a room ; a playful and responsive element that can be interacted with through touch , light and movement .”
The human touch is all over these designs , starting with the feathers that are all hand dyed in the UK . Each piece is hand crafted to order in the London studio .
The original Classic Collection features three designs , the Juliette Ø47cm , the Gloria Ø68 and the two tiered Bertie Ø68 . These are all designed as easy-fit light shades so the process of installing could not be simpler . We love the fact that the process is so fuss free , delivery to installation takes just a few minutes .
Coldharbour Lights launched its latest addition to an extraordinary collection , The Coco ( opposite ), at Decorex 2022 .
Specialising exclusively in feather lighting , it is the brand to turn to for textural , colourful and whimsical pendants to bring warmth and softness to a space . From easy-fit feather lights shades that are installed in seconds , to the world ’ s first three-tiered adjustable feather chandelier , these are statement pieces to make your heart sing .
It is not surprising to find that Coldharbour Lights has its roots in theatre . Lottie Davies , the creative force behind the company , transferred her sensibilities as a theatre performer to her design work , launching the brand in 2017 . Movement and playfulness continue to inform her designs which are very much at home being centre stage .
“ Whether it ’ s the rhythmic swing of the chains , the madness of the movement of light through the crystals or the soft ruffle of a breeze through the feathers , these are all ludic and essential aspects of the design .
The same is true for most of the new Rio Collection which was developed in response to growing requests for increasingly large and impactful designs . The largest diameters in the Rio Collection are The Filomena and the three tiered Coco , both of which have a flamboyant 115cm diameter . The range of colour combinations available for the new Rio Collection is extensive ; a sample service is available .
Sustainability is at the heart of how CHL is run and is a key consideration in its design processes and operations .
As a small design studio , Lottie and her team are able to offer a bespoke consultation process and enjoy developing new ideas . Get in touch with Lottie for bespoke solutions .
