Now available at David Village Lighting: New exciting designs and cutting edge technology from Tom Dixon.

Last month, the team at David Village Lighting explored exciting new exhibits at the Stockholm Furniture & Lighting Fair (a fantastic annual event showcasing the latest creations and design ideas from the biggest brands in the industry). Here we saw the inspired work of Tom Dixon, the London based design studio.

Usually, when we think of Tom Dixon, we think of cleverly metalized plastics used to produce a futuristic take on a slightly retro-inspired design such as with the Mirror Ball and Copper Round pendants. At this year’s exhibition, however, we were welcomed by a new style of Tom Dixon lighting: minimalistic, contemporary with cutting edge integral LED technology.

The new Opal collection caught our attention:

Without the effect of high shine metallic finishes, the Opal collection is a surprising move away from the brand’s iconic metallic look. The collection maintains the brand’s retro design and use of the versatile material polycarbonate but with a pleasantly unexpected finish: the polycarbonate spheres have been specifically developed to create the opalescent effect of glass. The pendants are striking but subtle in their presence, and the floor lamps are grand with their unique structures elevating the opalescent spherical feature to another level.

New Integral technology:

Of particular interest to us at David Village Lighting are Tom Dixon’s developments in the integral LED technology of their new products. Tom Dixon have worked hard with their German Engineering partners to produce a brilliant integral LED light source, comprising of a ring of 30 LEDs for even light distribution. The compact nature of the light source allows Tom Dixon to use this in a multitude of their existing designs and newly developed ones. Not only does the LED ‘ring’ have a long lifetime of approximately 50,000 hours, it can also be repaired once the LED fails.

Another new collection - Spring pendants:

The Spring pendants share the clever LED technology which lays within the Opal light range. For this design Tom Dixon revert back to a metallic style, yet instead of mimicking the look of metal with a mirrored finish on polycarbonate, the Spring pendants actually are metal and are made from stainless steel strips. One of the benefits of Tom Dixon’s usual use of plastics is that the products are always very light. However, this benefit is not lost with the new Spring pendants: although they are made from steel, the thin ribbons create a lightweight mesh. There are three sizes of pendant within this range and even as the pendant gets significantly larger in size, it does not feel intrusive due to the airy spaces between the metal strips.

The design has been likened to a spirograph, a flying saucer and even a pumpkin. The form of the shade is designed much like that of a whisk, the strips of metal curve around the light source and meet at the bottom. This design also allows the user to adjust the body into a shape which suits them.

From what our team saw at the Stockholm show, a new type of Tom Dixon product is emerging: delving into new materials, refining their style and introducing cutting edge integral LED technology. Both new ranges, the Opal collection and Spring pendants, are now available to order from our website.

 David Village Lighting introduces Louis Poulsen’s stunning new finishes in the PH range. PH5 and PH Artichoke are amongst Henningsen’s most renowned designs for Louis Poulsen. To commemorate 125 years since the designer’s birth, these designs receive a new precious metallic finish. PH5 & PH5 mini are available in a polished brass finish and the PH Artichoke in a copper rose finish.

At David Village Lighting we value brands with rich history and inspirational thinkers such as designer Poul Henningsen. 

We are proud to display a variety of lighting from Louis Poulsen in our new showroom; we think you will love them as much as we do!

Iconic Danish designer Poul Henningsen began a lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen in 1924. Henningsen was known to be an unconventional thinker and had a rebellious streak which he applied to his designs and philosophies. His lighting was based entirely around the ‘human experience’, moving away from the traditional concept of making items to only please aesthetically. If Henningsen’s lighting designs looked ‘beautiful’ then it was just a coincidental by-product!

The PH collection was named after Poul Henningsen, all of the designs followed his values of creating glare-free light which is atmospheric and enjoyable.

Key elements within his designs were the lighting structure and how this affects the interplay of shadow and glare, combined with colour reproduction. Poul Henningsen created and shaped light.

To mark 125 years since the birth of its creator, and over 60 years since its initial release, PH5 and PH5 mini receive a polished brass central tier. The stunning warm toned brass elegantly reflects its surroundings, organic hues add a welcoming glow to contemporary spaces. The brass feature is a raw untreated material. Louis Poulsen wants to celebrate this changeable element by allowing the patina to develop, as a result of the material’s interaction with the surrounding environment. Over time the brass will take on deeper golden tones, showing that this design is a timeless classic which does not follow fleeting trends.

PH Artichoke came from a project called Langelinie Pavillonen, a stunning modernist building which overlooks the sea. Poul Henningsen was tasked with designing a light specifically for this space: in 1958 the PH Artichoke was born. The oversized design enables the light source to be hidden within layers of beautiful metallic leaves, producing evenly distributed and glare-free light. To counteract the cool tones within the Langelinie Pavillonen sea-side restaurant, Henningsen created the Artichoke with warm copper leaves and a rose finish inside to give an intimate ambience for its patrons. For the 125^th anniversary, Louis Poulsen bring back this original colourway to celebrate the genius of Poul Henningsen.

Take a look at the timeless designs of Louis Poulsen and find your favourite…

Muuto Under the Bell:

A unique and clever design by Iskos-Berlin for Muuto, Under the Bell, has seen extreme success, especially within the commercial sector. The Fibrous material and form enables absorption of sound and improves the overall acoustics in a room. Under the Bell ‘embraces and shelters’ people beneath it, creating an intimate and focused atmosphere.

Most wanted of 2018.

At David Village Lighting we love to see what trends are forming and how it influences our customer’s purchases. Looking back through 2018, we can see clear favourites from our brand’s collections. We thought you might be interested in finding out the most desirable designs from the past year.

Flos 2097 suspension:

Designed by Gino Sarfatti for Flos, in 1958.

Inspired by traditional chandeliers comprising of a central structure with multiple arms, Sarfatti applied his modern thinking to create the ever-popular 2097. The exposed electrical cables give an industrial feel. Combined with a polished chrome or brass finish, the overall effect is contemporary and stylish.

Kartell Masters Chairs:

Designed by Philippe Stark with Eugeni Quitllet for Kartell, in 2010.

Three design icons were re-imagined and re-interpreted by the creative mind of Stark to create one truly unique ‘Masters’ chair. This design pays tribute to the Series 7 chair by Arne Jacobsen, Tulip Armchair by Eero Saarinen and the Eiffel chair by Charles Eames.  

Artemide Dioscuri:

Designed by Michele de Lucchi for Artemide, in 1999.

A stunning piece of Italian design and craftsmanship by the iconic De Lucchi, a stylish but highly versatile lighting feature. The acid etched blown glass emits a soft diffused glow, available in 4 sizes allows for cluster installations or simple but effective illumination.

Anglepoise Original 1227 Mini wall light:

An extension to the Anglepoise Original 1227 family released in 2015.

Originally created by George Carwardine in 1935, the mini collection has been scaled down by a third. The Mini range has seen such popularity through its versatility, subtle and stylish aesthetic. The Mini wall light, in particular, has been a best seller since its release offering task lighting but with a playful twist.

We look forward to seeing what 2019 holds, a range of new creative designs from existing brands and new collections to be discovered.

3 reasons David Village Lighting love the Foscarini Twiggy floor lamp

1.    Foscarini Twiggy: a cleverly designed modern classic

Designed in 2006 by Marc Sadler, the Twiggy floor lamp became an instant classic. The inspiration for this iconic design? The flexibility of a fishing rod - evident in the slender yet sturdy stem of the Twiggy which allows for its impressive reach, created using cleverly concealed counterweights. The flexible stem sits on a slim flat base which makes it easy to slide under a sofa or table if required.

Perfect for both home and office, Twiggy adds both flair and functionality, providing direct overhead lighting without glare as its lamps are hidden behind a diffuser. Not just a downlight, a soft reflective glow is also emitted through the transparency of the upper disc.

2. Foscarini Twiggy’s adjustable height and reach

Twiggy’s height can be adjusted to three different levels by using the two counterweights which are disguised from view in the shade. Additional stem sets further extend its height and increase its reach from 170 – 200cm. Adjustable height and reach gives Twiggy versatility making it an ideal floor light in many different spaces: over a desk, dining table, bed, sofa or armchair.

“Create and define a personal space, a welcoming area, where you can relax and feel at home even if you are far away.” Carlo Urbinati, President of Foscarini.

The Twiggy floor lamp is available to view in our brand new showroom: David Village Lighting, The Old Cinema, 5-13 Ashgate Road, Broomhill, Sheffield, S10 3BZ.

3.  Twice as Twiggy

In the world of the Twiggy, bigger is always better! In 2015, the thin, flexible feature of the original Twiggy became “oversized” in Twice as Twiggy, a floor lamp designed for large spaces, without foregoing lightness. Twice as Twiggy is a perfect addition, as a statement piece, in a large commercial space or design studio.

“Twice as Twiggy is a colossal version of the floor lamp Twiggy, designed by Marc Sadler: an iconic piece and a space-defining lighting object,”  Carlo Urbinati, President of Foscarini.

As part of New York City’s Design Week, Foscarini used their Twice as Twiggy floor lamp in their aptly named photography project: ‘Twice Light’. The project, captured by photographer Gianluca Vassallo, invited New Yorkers, two strangers, to meet together on the street under a Foscarini Twice as Twiggy.

“Under the overarching presence and warm glow of Twice as Twiggy, people were enveloped within its magical cone of light and, like thrown in a new dimension, they had the possibility to create an intimate and private zone even in a public and hectic space as the City of New York” Carlo Urbinati, President of Foscarini.

Tom Dixon: The bestsellers of 2018/19

Formed in 2002, the talented and untrained designer Tom Dixon created a brand under his own name to research and develop his industrial lighting & furniture designs. Some of Tom Dixon’s bestselling items are his earlier and most iconic pieces.

The Beat light collection was released in 2006 and has been a firm favourite amongst interior designers, architects and enthusiasts ever since.

“I was involved in an initiative in Jaipur to create alternative possibilities for the rapidly vanishing craftsmen and their skills, and the Beat Light was born from that project” - Tom Dixon. Created and inspired by the traditional brass work of the Northern Indian craftsman of Moradabad, Tom Dixon introduced these skills into his own collection. The Beat lights feature elements such as spun, braised and beaten brass, all formed by hand to make each pendant unique.

Available in four shapes: stout, tall, fat and wide, as well as four colourways.

The Variety in size and colour makes for a dynamic and personal display of Beat lights, ideal in a linear formation over a dining table, or as a cluster over a kitchen island.

The Beat family has grown over the years due to its huge popularity, expanding to table, wall and floor lamps.

Making technological advancements into vacuum metallisation creates new possibilities, giving life to Tom Dixon’s vastly popular Melt pendant.

In 2015, Milan’s Salone del Mobile exhibition saw an exciting array of new and experimental lighting designs, Melt was the star! During the exhibition Tom Dixon even performed with his band under a glowing canopy of Melt pendants.



Melt resembles two pendants by Tom Dixon (Mirror ball & Copper round) which have been melted to produce this new unique design. The Melt pendants take on a warped effect in the vacuum process, a key feature being the opaque metal finish when not illuminated, then glowing transparency when lit.



Tom Dixon’s Melt light makes the perfect cluster feature due to its irregular shape, staggering the small and large size at varied heights has a very engaging effect.



As we settle into 2019, we look forward to seeing the ever-changing trends and up-coming inventions from the creative mind of Tom Dixon. Shop Tom Dixon’s best selling lighting and keep an eye out for more exciting releases on the David Village Lighting website.

Celebrating 60 years of the PH collection

Here at David Village Lighting, we are celebrating 6 decades of the iconic Louis Poulsen collection by taking a look at some of their most memorable pieces. Imagined by the legendary Poul Henningsen, this classic collection was a groundbreaking step in technological innovation.

Whether turned on or off, this pendant light interacts seamlessly with a variety of interiors, creating a visually stunning, engaging, unified focal point. Due to its popularity, Louis Poulsen has designed the infamous mini and various colours hues. This allows the PH5 to be entirely transferrable into any interior.

Snowball is a popular eye-catching piece with an artistic flare, ideal for any contemporary modern space.

One of their very original designs was the PH Snowball, which is an eye-catching artistic piece that maintains its modernist, minimalistic chic that made it so iconic. This collection is so memorable that it still continues to be a popular piece, even decades after its inception. This is mainly due to its unique shape, with 8 shades being mounted on 3 legs; a glossy top (creating sparkling light) and a matte underside (avoiding reflection).  The shape ensures all sides are illuminated, creating optimum, lighting performance but shielding inhabitants from any glare.

A favoured piece by many from Louis Poulsen, the PH Artichoke is an elegant piece, admired by many for decades.

New in by Luceplan at David Village Lighting.

Luceplan has released brand new collections for 2018, as always stretching the boundaries of modern design and creative functionality.  The themes of these new designs are timeless traditional pieces which are highly versatile, customisable and easily integrated into any contemporary space.

Soon to be a design classic, this timeless blown glass collection will complete any contemporary home.

Designed by David Dolchini, Lita is an elegant simple design, and with it being available in wall, pendant, ceiling and table versions, there is something for everyone in this collection. This design is highly versatile, making it easy to incorporate into a wide variety of modern spaces. With the diffuser being created from opaline blown glass and with the structure available in wooden or painted aluminium designs, this makes the Lita a timeless and memorable character.

A brand new design from Luceplan, the Farel has a minimalist feel with an industrial twist.

For the first time, Luceplan has introduced an iconic dome structure in the form of Farel. Designed by Diego Sferrazza, the Farel is created using sound-absorbing thermoformed material and outer fabric cladding, resulting in a robust, vintage style. With a variety of finishes, both internally and externally, this unique architectural structure can be customised to integrate into any room.

A new addition to the Compendium collection, the circle pendant emits harmony and diffused light for an eye-catching effect

Adding to their existing popular Compendium family, Luceplan have created the stylish, unique circle pendant. From the mind of Dabiel Rybakken, this geometric design exhibits poetic nature and harmony. Powered by LED’s, this pendant light emits direct emissions when angled downwards or diffused light when installed upwards, creating a highly customisable effect. This eye-catching piece is available in 3 variations of sizes, allowing you to create your own bespoke lighting design.

David Village Recommends: Bedroom Luminaires.

From our extensive selection of contemporary iconic lighting designs, we handpick our most suitable for the bedroom. 

Send yourself into a peaceful slumber…
Bedroom lighting is an important aspect of your personal space, get it right and your room will be transformed into an area of tranquillity.



Lightyears Night Owl: £112.20

From our knowledge and experience, we know that the type of light you choose will have an impact on the feeling and mood of your space.

A diffused or indirect light source is ideal for the bedside to promote a relaxing atmosphere. There is no risk of glare or over-exposure, let your eyes re-adjust for the evening to set the tone for restful sleep or peaceful time for reflection. We would recommend lamps with frosted or opal glass diffusers, creating a soft glowing effect. In-direct light can be an effective design feature to create a good amount of light but shield the eyes from the unwanted brightness.

Flos IC Low Table: £289.00

How much light is required for your contemporary space?

Choosing the amount of light you need: What do you realistically require the light for? Do you need a bit of extra light for basic tasks such as reading or do you purely use your space for rest? If you need a little versatility then a lamp with a dimmer function will suit perfectly.



Marset Dipping Lamp: £192.98

Size and design must be taken into consideration to get the most out of your light. 

The third and final contributing factor to choosing a Bedroom light is size. Will this fit by your bedside? Is it a design feature or a subtle implement? Space can sometimes be an issue within the bedroom, to which many people turn to the wall light for a savvy solution.



Vibia Pin wall: £228.89

Here are some of our other favourite designs:

The new refined Winkel

The new w127 Winkel is a developed version of Wastberg’s award winning and best selling task light originally introduced in 2012.

Wastberg have worked hard to refine some key areas of the lamp such as the mechanics, and operation and of course the light source.

 The w127 is the result of a collaboration between Wästberg, the Berlin-based designer Dirk Winkel and the Gemany-based chemical company BASF. They spent more than three years developing what they consider the most refined task light ever seen. 

The w127 winkel challenges the perception of plastic, going further than the norm, not only in terms of function and looks, but also in terms of the feel and tactility of the material. No second skin, no paint coat; the true, bold material in its pure form.

It is based on over 60% biologically sourced and recyclable material from the castor plant. This represents a step ahead by setting the course for producing independently of mineral oil based plastics.

Established in 2009 CoeLux have created a unique lighting system which reproduces the true effect of natural sunlight entering through an opening in the integrated ceiling, with a realistic sun perceived at infinite distance surrounded by a clear deep blue sky.

David Village Lighting is very excited to now be working with Coelux and bring you the experience of the sky. We are always looking to work with the latest technology and we love the CoeLux design so much we are installing an integrated panel into our new Broomhill, Sheffield showroom.

The beautiful skylight look is achieved thanks to the comprehensive work carried on by an interdisciplinary team of researchers in the field of optical physics, numerical modelling, chemistry, material science, architecture and design.

CoeLux combines three key elements: the latest LED technology which reproduces the sunlight’s spectrum; a sophisticated optical system that creates the sensation of the distance between the sky and the sun; and nanostructured materials, only a few millimeters thick, which recreate the entire Rayleigh scattering process which occurs in the atmosphere.

“CoeLux lighting systems reproduce a virtual experience of the sun and sky; especially in a below-ground environment, the effect is so powerful that it may radically change our perception of reality. It allows us to rediscover natural light in the real world in a totally new and surprising way”.

Prof. Paolo Di Trapani, company founder and CEO

Grok was created in 1998 and is a part of the LEDS-C4 group which has been designing and producing lights for interior and exterior design projects for over 4 decades. David Village Lighting has been working with Grok for many years on projects but we now introduce Grok to buy online as we think the range is also great for residential interiors.

Grok embodies a way of understanding and interacting with one another that is based on intuition and empathy.

When they were first established they made a commitment to create a contemporary product line that would decorate and build spaces through attractive design and they believe there is a light perfectly suited to each room, each activity and each individual.

New Equatore collection from

At David Village Lighting we pride ourselves on supplying the best in modern lighting and we love it when a new release sees a classic design modernised.

The new Equatore collection by Fontana Arte is a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic lamp with a glass shade.

While the traditional Gabriele e Oscar Buratti design uses the shade to contain the light source the shade is suggestively empty.

The light is produced by the LEDs and thanks to internal screens arranged in layers, is distributed regularly across the surface of the discs, magically illuminating them.

The lower disk directs the light output downwards and the upper one illuminates the glass cap for a soft, diffused light.

The Equatore family includes a table, floor and suspension and is available in two finishes; a cooler version in grey with a dark chrome frame, and a warmer version with a transparent pink cap and a copper-coloured frame.
