We'll always have Paris
Our Cotswold heritage will always be our compass, to guide everything we do. We’re proud of our British roots, which gives us a clear perspective and ground for inspiration. There’s nothing more special than watching our designs come to life in a workshop that we’ve moulded over decades. Our craftsmen and women each bring something different to the table. Distinctive skills and personalities; all attributing to what we do best. Lighting, Made in the Cotswolds.
It is important to us that our heritage does not become a boundary; we don’t want to limit new ideas. For this reason, we seek inspiration in many places. Close to home as well as overseas, we make sure to travel often. Inspiration can’t always come from behind a screen, it needs to be in person. We need to see, feel and experience in order to be inspired and understand exactly what might complement our heritage.
In January, we visited Paris; one of our favourite cities in the world. “A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty and in the point of life.” Thomas Jefferson, we couldn’t agree more.

After absorbing the beautiful Parisian architecture and hidden treasures of the flea markets, we visited Maison & Objet. As always, there was endless home décor and interior design trends to see and we were delighted when we saw Atelier Swarovski exhibiting their luxurious collections.
Atelier Swarovski is the ultimate expression of the Swarovski brand, showcasing its 120 year heritage of crystal cutting, craftsmanship and design innovation in jewellery, accessories and home decor. With its captivating beauty and mastery of light, crystal is a material to which everyone finds themselves drawn. For more than 120 years, Swarovski has been at the forefront of creativity, craftsmanship and innovation, collaborating with the finest creative talent to push crystal to its aesthetic and technical limits. Atelier Swarovski is the ultimate expression of the Swarovski brand, a stunning showcase of the art of crystal cutting and design innovation.

It is always a pleasure to visit Paris. To us, it’s one of the few places where, once you have visited, a piece of it will stay with you. Whether it’s a change in routine, a new found taste or idea’s that will enhance your day to day lifestyle. We’ll always have Paris.
