How to Choose an Investment Piece

It can be difficult to know where to spend and where to save when deciding on those larger, more significant lighting pieces for your interior. We all want to make considered purchases that will allow us to 'buy better, buy less' and reduce our environmental impact in the long term.

If you're feeling a little indecisive, we’ve put together a guide on how to choose an investment piece for your home.

Longevity

Investing in high-quality pieces of lighting for your home will ensure that they stand the test of time and serve you well for many years to come. Seeking out durable, long-lasting items that may be a little more expensive than your usual budget will actually save you money in the long term as the necessity to replace them becomes null (which also means they are the best option for the planet too).

As one of our most iconic designs, our No.1 Pendant, is a brilliant example of how high-quality materials and craftsmanship come together to create a timeless design that will become an heirloom of the future.

Functioning as a true statement piece, our Skipper Pendant is handcrafted with versatility in mind. Sustainably sourced wood is steam bent to create timeless results, helping to create a space that is tranquil and peaceful.

Versatility

Another great way of getting the most out of an investment piece is to choose items that are versatile and can move around different spaces in your home, providing multiple functions.

Our Portable Table Lighting range blends function and style. Perfectly proportioned with our iconic curves, each design harmoniously marries functionality and creativity. Equally useful in a hallway, bedroom, kitchen or living room, a rechargeable table light is a great investment for your home, or precious gift for a loved one.

Furthermore, our Semper Pendant is a playful yet highly practical piece of design. The adjustable wooden layers allow you to guide light around your space, allowing you to create a lightscape that effortlessly suits your needs.

Quality

Investing in quality items will ensure that your lighting stands the test of time. This is especially important as most lighting designs will be used almost every day and subjected to heavy use, if you opt for an adjustable or portable design.

Trained to the highest standards, our talented workshop team ensure every design is crafted to last. From steam bending the statement chandeliers, to hand forming the Urchin Pendant, each artisan design is crafted to last and be incredibly beautiful.

Sustainability

By designing products with sustainability in mind, we can move away from the high-wastage, consumerist culture that's having such a harmful impact on our environment. Learn more about our innovative processes and how using sustainable materials can increase the longevity of a design in our blog.
