Dernier & Hamlyn recently manufactured a chandelier that forms the central feature at the entrance of Aromatherapy Associates’ new Knightsbridge Boutique & Treatment Rooms. Working to a Martin Hulbert design that incorporated playful use of the company’s products, Dernier & Hamlyn manufactured 1600mm diameter metal rings that were finished in satin brass to complement the boutique’s furniture. Some 160 glass bottles containing different coloured aromatherapy oils were fixed to these rings and LED’s were then fitted behind the bottles both to shine through them and to spread the multi-coloured light.Dernier & Hamlyn was also responsible for producing large bottles that emulate aromatherapy oil bottles some of which are used as decorative items and some of which have been converted into table lamps.
Martin Hulbert comments:
“This project is the beginning of a new identity for the Aromatherapy Associates’ brand. Creating the right ambience for its clients is clearly essential and the lighting is absolutely fundamental to achieving this. I have worked with Dernier & Hamlyn on many projects before and knew that they would rise to the challenge of producing this unique light fitting.”
