Jeu de Lumière

Specialist, custom luminaire manufacturers Nulty Bespoke have completed a very special commission of a custom-made suspended lighting installation for a new private residence in the South of France.

Working in conjunction with interior designers WL Studio, the Nulty Bespoke team was tasked to use crystal pieces from the homeowner’s old chandelier as the main element of a substantial contemporary lighting installation.

To accentuate the minimal interiors, it was decided that 83 shards of crystal in three sizes, would each be horizontally or vertically individually suspended by thin cables. Fifteen handmade uplighter units with an antique brass finish encase customised LED strips and serve as the only light sources within the piece. After much testing in Nulty Bespoke’s London studios, the uplighters were carefully positioned to ensure as much light as possible reflected off the crystal, creating the impression that the shards were sparkling internally.
