New in: Skipper Lighting Designs
Champions of sustainable, honest and handcrafted design, Tom Raffield’s newest sustainable lighting range does not disappoint…
Experts in designing and handcrafting unique wooden lighting, Tom Raffield expand their collection by launching flush fitting ceiling lights for the very first time and add a dynamic new wall light design to the bestselling Skipper Lighting Range.
Sustainably designed and handcrafted in South Cornwall, Tom Raffield designs are synonymous with nature; each product is hand-shaped using sustainable wood and created as sculptural pieces of art using a pioneering form of steam bending.
Joining Tom Raffield's bestselling, iconic Skipper Lighting Range come three new designs - two flush fitting ceiling lights and an eye-catching wall light. Each of the new designs continue to showcase the brand's signature curves and physically embody Tom Raffield's nature-inspired ethos.
Designed to suit lower ceiling heights and smaller interiors, the new Flush Fitting Ceiling Lights offer the same curved, modern aesthetic as the brand's iconic lighting pieces without taking up too much space. The two new decorative designs are available in both a standard and small size and come in a choice of three popular sustainably sourced wood types - ash, oak and walnut. By introducing a flush fitting fixture for the very first time, the compact pieces are intended to make Tom Raffield's designer lighting more accessible and usable in both modern and older property styles.
Raffield's new Skipper Wall Light, available in ash, oak and walnut wood to marry with other designs in the popular Skipper Lighting Range, produces striking shadows and a golden glow of transfixing warm, ambient light. Supplied with a wall mounted fitting, the new design hopes to transform space in the flick of a switch and create a memorable statement in any interior.
The new collection includes:
Scandinavian design principles and our sought-after aesthetic, merged. Sustainably sourced ash, oak or walnut wood is hand-shaped by our skilled workshop team to create a flush fitting, ceiling mounted shade that illuminates space with a bright, bold contrast of light and shadow. Suited to smaller rooms or low ceilings, the Skipper Flush Ceiling Light brings atmosphere in abundance - without taking up too much space.
Skipper Small Flush Ceiling Light
A perfect miniature replica of its larger counterpart, the Skipper Small Flush Ceiling Light makes statement lighting a reality in smaller, modern living spaces.
A unique wall light design that celebrates natural materials and handcrafted skill, the Skipper Small Wall Light is created from sixteen individual, sustainably sourced ash, oak or walnut wood petals and designed to produce golden light and eye-catching shadow effects in equal measure.
The bestselling Skipper Lighting Range now includes: flush ceiling light and small flush ceiling light, a small, standard and large pendant, floor light and wall light.
