Northern Lights illuminates with new artisanal lighting collections

From the golden glow of a setting sun to the enduring allure of ancient craftsmanship, Northern Lights’ latest lighting collections invite designers on a journey of artistry, texture, and emotion. This new range, comprising more than 70 meticulously handcrafted pieces, unites traditional techniques with contemporary form – creating lighting that’s as captivating as it is refined. In the latest HD Sofa Session, we sat down with Northern Lights Head of Design, Michael Jackson, as he walked us through two standout designs from this latest collection, discover it for yourself.

Each piece draws inspiration from global cultures and the natural world, echoing landscapes, heritage motifs, and organic materials. Sculptural silhouettes, hammered metal finishes, and veined alabaster come together in a rich interplay of shadow, reflection, and luminosity. The result is a portfolio of statement lighting that feels both timeless and fresh, and rooted in tradition yet bold in expression.

Every item is precision-engineered and handcrafted in Britain, reflecting the dedication of Northern Lights’ artisans and designers to quality, authenticity, and storytelling through light.

Collection highlights

Vistal

Inspired by sweeping vistas and the layered warmth of sunset skies, Vistal is a tactile and immersive lighting piece. At its heart, a globe of opal glass or alabaster radiates softly, surrounded by a base formed from individually applied, laser-cut brass layers. These pleated brass elements catch and refract light in subtle rhythms, creating a dynamic play of glow and shadow.

Alternating brush directions and intricate detailing transform this piece into a sculptural centrepiece – striking whether illuminated or not. Vistal is a showcase of authentic British artistry and craftsmanship.

Cairo

Channelling the geometric beauty of ancient Egyptian design, Cairo features five-sided folded metal forms, brought to life through delicate hammering and a rich gold finish. The collection captures the elegance of historical metalwork while delivering a bold, contemporary presence. With its faceted design and luxe surface textures, Cairo brings a regal sophistication to modern interiors.

Callisto

With a graceful arch inspired by the gentle curve of the moon, Callisto is both celestial and serene. A slender stem and half-moon frame suspend an opal glass globe, casting soft, ambient light with poetic simplicity. Its form brings quiet elegance to hospitality or residential spaces seeking a sense of calm and balance.

Geo

Refined and understated, Geo epitomises quiet luxury. Clean, linear forms are elevated by the use of high-end materials – richly veined alabaster and solid brass – creating lighting that feels grounded yet ethereal. This minimalist design embraces restraint, letting the inherent beauty of each element speak for itself.

Kyoto

Subtle and sophisticated, Kyoto takes inspiration from the harmony and balance of Japanese design. Its hand-finished pewter and polished steel frame creates an intricate fretwork, within which an opal globe softly glows. The light plays off the latticework, creating gentle patterns and adding a sense of rhythm and depth to the room.

Each design can be tailored with in-house specialist finishes – from organic patinas and powder-coated RALs to custom acid treatments – allowing specifiers and designers to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Finish samples are available to request directly via the Northern Lights website.

With this new artisan-led range, Northern Lights continues its legacy of fusing heritage craftsmanship with modern design – illuminating spaces with pieces that tell a story, evoke emotion, and inspire imagination.
