The Contemporary Chandelier Company are a small independent workshop that design, build and install bespoke LED based chandeliers that you simply cannot source anywhere else in the world .
With over 30 years’ experience in creating their own blown glass, they have for the last fifteen years, combined this singularly beautiful material with the latest LED technology. They specialise in large domestic installations; more light sculptures than lights; centrepieces that enhance atriums, staircases and hallways internationally.
Artistic director , founder and lighting designer iestyn Davies, works closely with his wife, Bev and a dedicated team of craftsmen and technicians to push the relationship of glass, crystal, polished metals and specialist acrylics with light. Each project is bespoke, often initiated by overlaying a design directly onto architectural drawings; this then becomes the starting point of a conversation between the studio and the client. They often employ 3D software to further explore special awareness between the proposed artwork and the clients' home.
" We aim to be different yet still engage and contribute to popular taste - in most of our work we hide the light source so that it's not immediately apparent where the light source originates. We even manufacture our own LED boards using the best LED diodes available just so that we can free ourselves from using light sources that others use. When we bring all this together, then we can be original, distinctive and truly bespoke. "
They are truly exclusive, only producing around 80 commissions a year, mainly for the high end UK domestic market, although they export their work worldwide, from Australia to the Palm Jumeirah. Recent commercial projects include the P+O Cruiseliner, the Azura , two kinetic water features in the new Al Maktoum International airport in Dubai and most recently Terminal 5 at Heathrow.
