Sculptural lighting meets design freedom - new range from luxury hospitality lights manufacturer

Each piece is developed and handcrafted in the company’s Derbyshire HQ, continuing a long-standing focus on British craft and engineering to honour the rich heritage and creative vision of Northern Lights’ designers and artisans.

The collection explores the relationship between light, material and form - asymmetry inspired by natural crystals, cut gemstones, and flowing organic forms gives many pieces a living, dynamic identity. Other designs explore precision, geometry, and architectural clarity, shaping atmosphere and bringing bold, layered presence.

Drawing on technical mastery, the range explores artisan glass techniques - from hand-slumped and kiln-fused to tinting, hand-cut panels, and custom moulds. Natural alabaster, rich brass, and precision metalwork complete the material palette, with each carefully crafted to maximise texture, material expression, and light interaction.

Exploring crystal-inspired forms, flowing glass, and layered illumination, the collection reveals a series of distinct sculptural identities.

Ember demonstrates traditional fused glass techniques, combining initial kiln experimentation with hand-cut, coloured panels to create striking patterns - a subtle nod to Northern Lights’ heritage in artisanal glassmaking.

Jewel is inspired by cut gemstones: 3D prototyping defined scale, geometry, and balance, while multi-faceted, hand-coloured glass captures and reflects light across each surface. Solid brass anchors the design, uniting structure with sculptural elegance, resulting in a piece that transforms interiors with jewel-like presence.

Veil casts a delicate cascade of shimmering light through leaf-like glass forms. Seeded glass sheets are precision-cut, hand-slumped, and partially frosted, creating subtle depth and a soft, layered glow. Integrated LED spotlights enhance the interplay of light and shadow, producing a composition that’s both refined and expressive.

Prism encases crystal-shaped alabaster within intricate laser-cut brass fretwork, exploring the interplay of geometry, organic irregularity, and materiality. The alabaster’s natural veining and translucency subtly diffuse light, while the brass casing adds precision, depth, and visual intrigue.

Link is available as both a linear pendant and a statement chandelier, showcasing expertly fabricated metalwork in interlinked rings with integrated LEDs, creating a striking architectural presence.

Layered illumination is central throughout - integrated light sources, dual diffusion, tinted glass, and natural stone combine to create depth, warmth, and atmosphere.

Solace combines sculpted alabaster with an amber-tinted glass tube, creating two distinct layers of balanced illumination, while brass framing and subtle veining in the stone add texture and refinement.

At the heart of this launch is a focus on material behaviour and design experimentation, each piece emerged from hands-on exploration of light and material interaction. We pushed glass, alabaster, and metal to reveal their full potential, shaping forms that hold space, command presence, and create visually rich narratives. Deep customisation is integral to the design language - each piece offers designers an unrivalled level of creative control. Scale, proportions, materials, tiers, drops, and configurations can all be adapted, enabling truly tailored lighting solutions. The result is a ceiling collection that moves beyond decorative lighting into sculptural spatial definition, shaping a bold interplay of light and form that transforms ceilings into visually rich focal points.
