Newsletter - February 2012  



Greetings!

February has seen the welcome return of some old friends at Trainspotters, the fruits of a sourcing trip to Eastern Europe in January.

We've managed to secure some more smaller conical pendants, a hot favourite over the last couple of years and becoming increasingly hard to source, even with our extensive network of contacts.

In a similar vein we've managed to bag a run of caged Czech downlighters, another firm favourite and already selling fast.

On the bulkhead front we've managed to re-supply our dwindling stocks of circular Czech bulkheads and also of the East German bulkhead lights.

A new light just in is an unglazed version of the Czech sawmill light, a classic industrial light and one we will endeavour to source more of if we possibly can.

And we are very excited to have some great runs of British industrial lighting under restoration, Concorde hangar lights included, all hitting the shelves very soon.


Czech sawmill lights

We have a large quantity of these Czech downlighters removed from a communist-era saw mill in the Czech Republic. Some colour variation on the black/grey scale.

We’ve managed to procure another quantity of these caged industrial downlighters with black enamelled shades, salvaged from a communist-era factory in the Czech Republic. Some characterful minor chipping to the enamel.

Circular Czech bulkheads

Industrial circular bulkhead wall lights, salvaged from a communist-era factory in the Czech Republic. Cast-iron casing with steel mesh, polished and beeswaxed. We’ve had the glass shot-blasted to obscure the interior. Fitted with a new porcelain E27 or US E26 bulbholder as required.

A Recent Project ....

Urban Outfitters, Newcastle

The latest store in our ongoing collaboration with US fashion gurus Urban Outfitters. The dominant lighting feature in the Newcastle store is this magnificent central lighting cluster, comprising a varied collection of our lights in a single pendant.
