“Bold and sculptural fixtures are predicted to take centre stage for AW23,” says Jo Plismy, Designer & Founder of Gong. “These fixtures serve as pieces of art in their own right, creating a striking focal point in the room. Sculptural shapes and unique forms add a touch of individuality and character to interior spaces and look great even when the light is not in use.

With an increasing focus on sustainability, artisanal and handcrafted fixtures which are made using natural materials are also predicted to be a big trend. Lights made from materials such as glass, cork, silk, linen and rattan are sure to be in demand as consumers seek to incorporate organic, natural elements into their interior design, which also tick the box of being eco-friendly.”
