Experts in designing and handcrafting sustainable wooden lighting, Tom Raffield expands their range of wooden lighting this summer…

Synonymous with nature, each design in Tom Raffield's modern, curvilinear homeware range is hand-shaped using sustainable wood into striking wooden works of art using a pioneering and ecological form of steam bending.

"Never before was something more elegant… and as always, sustainably made and fit for practical use"

- Tom Raffield, Co-founder and Designer.

Making sustainable living beautiful and crafted for a lifetime of happiness, Tom Raffield designs only use high quality, sustainable materials to ensure they’re seen in homes for decades – an iconic piece never goes out of style. Set to be new bestsellers, Tom’s latest lighting collection offers exciting ways to illuminate homes and allow nature’s forms to enhance any interior.

Launching 24th June 2022, the Tilow Lighting Range and Kanna Drum Pendant are set to create a brighter, and bolder summer.

Kanna Drum Pendant

Rooted in minimalism, the Kanna Drum Pendant radiates warmth, whilst allowing the distinctive fingerprint found in this natural material to shine. Inspired by the precision hand tool used in Japanese woodworking, the Kanna design celebrates the strength and delicacy of sustainably sourced wood. 

Diffusing a warm glow into its surroundings, the elegant tier of sustainably sourced oak or walnut gently cocoons the bulb, allowing the organic wooden grain to take centre stage. The plywood inner structure supports the skilfully simple layer of timber, secured with brass screws to create a soft pool of downlight, all whilst showcasing the endless inspiration Tom finds in his surrounding woodlands.

Available in sustainably sourced oak or walnut.

Tilow Lighting Range

Representing the first strong branch that is born from a mighty oak tree, the Tilow Lighting Range allows nature’s forms to enhance any interior’s personality. The big sister to their Hanter Wall Light, the new design encourages versatility, with each design either suspending an elegant exposed bulb, or a selection of Tom Raffield’s iconic lampshades.

The Tilow’s striking, branching form brings comfort and style to interiors everywhere. Available in two sizes, the skilfully steam bent design will divide and balance interiors with ease as it illuminates with a warm, welcoming glow.

Renter friendly lighting. The Tilow Lighting Range is a plug-in and go design, allowing those who rent to create a Tom Raffield impact in their home, without having to interfere with wiring.

Tilow Wall Light

Suspending either an exposed bulb, or one of Tom’s iconic wooden shades at the perfect height, the Tilow Wall Light is perfect for smaller spaces in need of enhanced lighting.

Tom has built on the success of his previous Hanter Wall Light with it's classic arching form that can tailored to suit any interior. From modern minimalism, to bold maximalism, the Tilow Wall Light offers a design to suit.

The Tilow Wall Light can home:

• Verso Small Pendant
• Semper Small Pendant
• Skipper Small Pendant
• Kanna Drum Pendant

Tilow Wall Light Large

For greater impact, the Tilow Wall Light Large offers opportunity to create a statement. An arc of sustainably sourced oak grows up and out from a solid base, suspending a bulb at perfect height.

Take your interior into a new chapter with handcrafted lighting that calls back to nature.

The Tilow Wall Light Large is available with:

• Verso Pendant
• Leven Pendant
• Skipper Small Pendant
