When Helen Green Design Studio sought distinctive, statement lighting for a client’s newly built luxury residence nestled in the heart of the Surrey Hills, Dernier & Hamlyn was the natural choice. Renowned for manufacturing bespoke fittings in the UK, the company’s commitment to excellence ensures that every piece meets the highest standards of quality, aesthetics, and functionality.
The entrance hall of the home is graced with a striking pendant that extends nearly 3.5 metres from the sloping ceiling, creating a breathtaking focal point. Featuring two vertical tubes, each meticulously welded with 69 individual arms finished in antique brass, the pendant showcases clear glass spheres in varying sizes, each fitted with dimmable LED lamps. This masterpiece seamlessly blends artistic vision with engineering precision.
In the dining room, a custom rod-mounted pendant enhances the space with its sophisticated design. Affixed to handmade ceiling plates, the fixture comprises 16 antique brass-finished metal holders in two distinct sizes, encasing crackle glass panels that diffuse a soft, ambient glow from the LED lamps within. Spanning almost 2 metres in length and 400mm in width, this fixture provides both illumination and an elegant visual anchor.
Beyond crafting new lighting solutions, Dernier & Hamlyn frequently collaborates with designers and clients to incorporate cherished items into their lighting schemes. In this project, the clients wished to transform two amber glass vases into table lamps for their formal sitting room, as well as repurpose a tall, organic ceramic vase into a statement lamp for the study. Custom-manufactured rods and metal bases were designed to complement the existing decor, with each lamp elegantly wired using silk cable for a refined finish.
Dernier & Hamlyn’s exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality have made them a trusted partner in creating bespoke lighting solutions. Whether designing complex, grand chandeliers or elegantly refined table lamps, Dernier & Hamlyn excels in translating visionary concepts into stunning, functional works of art. With a keen attention to detail and a commitment to customer satisfaction, their team consistently delivers lighting that elevates interiors with unmatched precision and artistry.
