ONE LIGHT ONLY

0 Comments

Aaaand another great product set to launch at the London Design festival next month; this time by British designer Lee Broom.

Called ‘One Light Only’ (Nice. We do love a good pun...) the collection is inspired by Art Deco jewellery and fashion photography from the late 1970’s.

'OLO' has a gem-like faceted exterior shell, and is available in brilliant matt white or polished gold.

The interior shell of each light is juxtaposed against the exterior finish;so the reflective gold facets shine against the subtle matt white interior finish and vice versa.

The range is made up of two different pendant-sized lights ranging from 10cm high to 30cm high, designed to work in clusters, mixing small and large pendant sizes together.

Followers of Broom's work might be slightly surprised by this rather different aesthetic; so here he is, explaining why this collection marks a departure from his previous work:

“With OLO, I’ve taken a different design approach; I wanted to create a range which was particularly accessible and affordable…perhaps not such an arts and crafts approach where the collections I’ve created feature significant investment pieces.

OLO is more of an accessories collection; it is truly inspired by my fashion background and presents a striking lighting solution.”

If you're going to be in London next month perusing the city's Design Festival festivities, Broom intends to create an impressive illuminated OLO installation where visitors to his new brand new studio in Shoreditch will be able walk through the gem-faceted pendants and inspect them at close range...
