Luna Lighting, makers of hand crafted
ceramic lights, is based at a studio in the heart of
Bloomsbury in central London,
part of Cockpit Arts - the UK's only creative business incubator for designer-makers
- so expect lots of treasures at the open studios events held twice a year.
Luna Lights have evolved out of a personal search to fuse
the cool clean lines of modern design with a need for warmth
and sparkle.
Designer maker Anna
Perring explains it as a balancing act between the head
and the heart: 'My head wants a clutter free clear space to
think in, my heart wants something softer and more fanciful
and so the aim was to create unique
ceramic lights for the design-aware individual. We want our
lights to be uplifting and aim to make people smile. The patterns of light they scatter across a room have the
quality of fairy lights (that I could never bear to take down
after Christmas) and fireflies, seen for the first time in
Italy a few years ago and which were a magical kick-start
to this lighting project.'
Casting glitterball light patterns,
each light adds a special atmosphere to any indoor space and
unlike most other lights they can also be adapted for use
outdoors as they are stoneware fired and frostproof.
Anna has new designs for 2010 in
her range of fine porcelain tea lights - all handmade, tactile
treasures that are highly collectable and make lovely unusual
gifts. See the Online Shop for more details.
