Long before the hum of electricity filled our homes, lanterns were the guardians of the night, their flickering beacons guiding travelers and illuminating hidden spaces. Made from weathered metal, delicate glass or carved wood, they have the power to transform any setting, creating warmth and intimacy. On today’s blog, we’re diving into the creative ways we’ve incorporated lanterns into our designs.
Exterior lanterns illuminate our spaces, continuing a tradition rooted in 18th-century London, where oil lamps flickered through the fog, casting a warm, golden glow that softened the shadows of the streets. We frame our entrances with wall-mounted lanterns that emit a welcoming light, enhancing the building’s exterior. Footpath lanterns further illuminate the way, highlighting architectural details and guiding guests toward the entrance.
As guides of the night, lanterns light up pathways and entrances with a soft glow, leading the way as if inviting you into a secret world, adding mystery and flair to your spaces.
More than just décor, lanterns evoke the feeling of walking through a moonlit bazaar, reading a novel by the fireplace, or stepping into a scene from a fairy tale. They remind us that light is not just about illumination but about warmth, ambiance and a touch of magic.
We hang them like glowing fireflies, suspended from wooden beams, their candlelit glow casting a golden light over the room. Lanterns pierced with intricate patterns send lace-like shadows dancing across the walls, turning an ordinary evening into a magical escape.
In our hotel rooms, our signature pendant, a crafted bronze iron lantern, hangs gracefully from the ceiling, casting a warm glow. It infuses the space with a sense of old-world charm and grandeur, while its classic design grounds the room in timeless sophistication.
Lanterns are more than mere light sources; they are storytellers, sharing whispers of classic character and timeless elegance. Their history is rich with mystery, adventure and a hint of enchantment, making them a captivating addition to your interiors.
