Coldharbour Lights' founder, Lottie Davies comes from a background in European theatre. In this feather light shade collection she has taken the flamboyant exuberance of the stage and designed a collection with a maximalist theatricality. This is experiential design in a tactile and sensory form. Our feather chandeliers can interact with their environment and with you, delicately responding to a touch, a breeze or a shaft of sunlight. This is lighting that can give you a stroke or a tickle; characterful, interactive players that will add life to your interior.
"As I enjoy putting together incongruous materials, I wanted to use decadent, luxurious textures alongside functional, utilitarian elements. So I found myself combining bicycle wheel rims and ball chain with feathers and crystal in these unique feather light shades. My love of the style and designs of the Art Deco period informs my work and inspires me to create a decadent allure to each piece."
We are making progress with carbon auditing through Blue Patch's Let's Do Net Zero programme. We are also attending the Naturesave Sustainability Service, benefiting from support from the environmental consultancy Positive Impacts. We strive to minimise our carbon footprint in as many ways as possible. Keeping it local is a key factor. We all walk to work. We keep road use to a minimum by using local services for laser cutting and powder coating. We use best quality feathers that are by-products of farmed poultry or common game birds and are not from rare or endangered species. Our Classic Collection uses hen and goose feathers while the Rio Collection uses cockerel tail feathers. 90% of our materials are produced in the UK.
