Chelsom has once again enjoyed another busy stint at Sleep celebrating what was our 7th consecutive year exhibiting at the event. This year’s stand showcased an exclusive preview of what is undoubtedly our most exciting and well received collection amongst designers, architects and hotel groups alike with the full collection, Edition 24, set to launch in Spring 2014.All products shown on the stand this year have been designed in- house by Robert and Will Chelsom and demonstrate the latest developments in LED technology along with incorporating up and coming trends in terms of the overall product design. Exquisitely designed desk lamps,table lamps and floor lamps all used integral LED light sources allowing streamlined forms to product heads and shades to be created . Never before has LED technology been used in this way ensuring that these products were true show stoppers at Sleep. Also on display, an array of new colour finishes based around an assortment of contrasting colours to create more of a retro appeal. In particular the contrasting English Brass and Black Bronze finishes were very well received with designers specifying reading lights in interesting new colours whilst on the stand.

Chelsom’s Director, Will Chelsom, commented on the success of the exhibition “We had a fantastic two days at Sleep previewing a selection of ranges from our forthcoming collection and are incredibly proud of what we have achieved. As ever it was wonderful to be able to meet many of our existing and new customers in person and to be able to personally show them our new designs. The feedback from designers and hoteliers alike has been fantastic with many claiming that our new designs were some of the best they had seen from us yet, with comments like this at the preview stage we are more excited than ever to be launching the new collection in the Spring.”
