DROPLET CHANDELIER, CP HART
Lighting design: StudioFractal
COPPER
Clockwise StudioFractal’s copper lighting installations have brightened CP Hart’s Waterloo Station showroom since 2015; its multiple light points are ideal for covering a larger area; the innovative use of copper piping
A blast-from-the-past project, dating back more than five years, StudioFractal’s design for CP Hart’s bathroom showroom (architect: Morrow + Lorraine) showcased two striking applications of copper piping as lighting installation. Located under the railway arches leading to Waterloo Station, the showroom provided the ideal gritty context for the use of copper, which was suitably industrial (and brand appropriate) while also warming the space with its rich tones.
Suspended over the entrance lobby, a large circular ceiling installation featured a 5.2m diameter disc from which a series of straight copper pipes were suspended,
varying in height to create an undulating effect. A UFO LED fibre optics system with flicker wheel provided subtle animation and varying brightness levels, playing off the reflectivity of the warm-coloured metal.
At the far end of the showroom, a convoluted maze-like structure formed from copper piping fill delineated the curved space of the arch over the cafe bar. The intricate structure featured softly glowing LED filament lamps at the end of each pipe, forming a focal point to pull customers through the space.

FOLD LINEAR CHANDELIER Lighting design: Tigermoth Lighting
Winner of the lighting category of the 2020 SBID Product Design Awards, the chandelier is a linear array of folded brass shades. The name is based on the primary process used in manufacturing the fitting, where every piece of brass is hand-folded and assembled in such a way that there is no need for braising or welding. ‘Individually, the shades present a striking geometric shape,’ said Tigermoth founder Harriet Daniels. ‘Together, they take on an organic form.’
The design has been thoroughly thought through, with the angularity of the modular ceiling fixing reflecting the geometry of the suspended elements. It also allows for varied configurations and for the overall length to be adapted. Each of the 45 shades is illuminated, with the bronze finish hand-relieved inside the shade to reveal the brass finish beneath. All of Tigermoth’s luminaires are handcrafted in its south of England workshop.
