Experienced design director, Sarah, of Pataross Projects, was looking to add some industrial yet friendly, bespoke lighting fittings to her family home in Brighton. Chantelle Lighting was the perfect fit for the job, coming highly recommended by Steve Chevalier of Intalite Lighting. 

The Challenge

The open-plan kitchen space has a very contemporary and modern feel, so Sarah was looking for Industrial features including the lighting to compliment this, whilst also keeping the warm, welcoming and inviting atmosphere of a family home.

Firstly, Sarah wanted a unique and bespoke chandelier to fill the large space. This needed to have plenty of presence and be a real feature in the room. The chandelier was to look current, edgy and eye-catching but also have a certain warmth associated with it.

In addition to this, Sarah felt the chandelier would look great accompanied by some simple hanging pendants to finish the look.

The solution

Chantelle manufactured a stunning large chandelier, finished in blackened steel, creating an almost velvet effect, which was much softer to the eye. The fitting came complete with 30 dimmable LED light bulbs, which created a brilliant glow, adding hints of gold and yellow tones, which were a nice contrast to the dark steel.

 Alongside this, Chantelle supplied its hanging pendants, which again were finished in blackened steel mirroring the chandelier. The two sit nicely together in Sarah's kitchen, combining elements of the industrial with warm, glowing tones. 

The Result

Both the team at Chantelle Lighting and Sarah were delighted with the overall look of the products. Sarah loved how the fittings were completely unique; industrial looking yet there was still a softer element to them. She said:

"Working with Chantelle on this project has been a pleasure. They understood my ideas instantly and were really forthcoming in producing the bespoke light fittings to complement the rest of the interiors in the kitchen. 
"Having lived with the lighting for a while, we've decided to now take the ideas further and it has influenced our choices for the rest of the house - I can't get enough of the look!"
