Jonathan Lucas – Managing Director, Elstead Lighting Group commented“ When the opportunity arose to partner with both the team and the brand that Currey & Company have built, we could not have been more enthusiastic. The 50 plus 230V based countries we sell into all have a segment in their markets where design, quality and flair rule over cost. The Currey & Company collection epitomises a brand where every product has been thought through with care and with detail. We are sure our customers will be thrilled to be able to work with products from this prestigious brand.’’
Brownlee Currey – CEO of Currey & Company responded“ It is a rare day, when one meets a particular person with whom one has lived a parallel life, but in a different location. That’ s exactly how I felt meeting Jonathan whilst visiting his headquarters in Hampshire. I knew at that moment; we were right to enter into business together. Now, having worked together for the past year to make this launch possible, I’ m more confident than ever we are the right fit for each other. Brownlee added“ What I’ m excited about, is not today, but for our shared future, as we grow the 230V assortment, and have the chance to work together on our creative endeavours”.

Handcrafted products using recycled glass: Vintner semi-flush The classic shape of the Vintner Green Semi-Flush fixture is the least traditional thing about it. Individually cut pieces of recycled wine bottles in naturally varying shades of green hang daintily from the metal frame. The distinctive green hues of the recycled wine bottles used to make the fixture mean that each is one of a kind. Natural uneven textures on the hanging glass pieces are accentuated by the piece’ s Silver Leaf finish.
The Bismarkia collection was inspired by the noble Bismarkia palm, with its oversized fronds. Marjorie Skouras, who designed the chandelier, has stayed true to her love of nature for this creation. Her passion for the Yucatan, the surroundings in which she lives and through which she translates the flora and fauna into dynamic products in her studio, shines in these steel fixtures covered in gesso white. The spiky ornamentations that splay around the bulbs bring immediate texture to the white chandelier.
Quality portables: Calla-Lily table lamp Intricate hand-formed ceramic flower petals cover the surface of the Calla Lily Table Lamp – all applied by hand. The textural interest of the petal-covered column is heightened by the antique brushed-brass accents. The white lamp is topped with an eggshell shantung shade that completes this pretty composition.
