Interior Design Yearbook 2026

The Interior Design Yearbook is an annual celebration of beautifully curated interior design, packed with inspirational schemes from leading designers across the globe. Our Senior Design Manager, Alex Craig, contributed an article to the 2026 edition, exploring how a bespoke luminaire is an essential layer within a broader architectural lighting scheme, serving beauty and theatre as much as illumination.

“Decorative light fixtures influence aesthetics, emotion and drama all at once. The fluidity of the design and making process allows raw materials to be elevated into something unique and enduring, as every detail has been meticulously thought through to make the final design resonate with depth and character.”

Achieving this emotional resonance is always a question of form, materiality and light. Each element influences the others and carries equal weight during the craftsmanship process. The only way to know if a concept will work is through experimentation, by testing compositions, finishes and light sources, exploring ideas with 3D-printed models or scaled mock-ups, and visualising the piece within its future home.

Crucially, a bespoke luminaire must be spectacular even when the lights are not on. That is why we consider every iteration, from full daylight through to dusk and evening, as this is the only way to ensure that it will complement the surrounding space at every point of the day.
