Launching at Decorex 2023 the Ambassador Wall Light is an exclusive design collaboration between the artisans at Gwyn Carless at The Light Yard and Focus SB’s in-house technical engineers and finishing experts, offering a striking addition to the British premium electrical manufacturer’s extensive suite of hospitality products. East Sussex, United Kingdom, 2023-09-19
Complemented by three metal finishes comprising Jordan bronze, satin and antique brass this industry-first collaboration from Focus SB in partnership with Gwyn Carless at The Light Yard offers luxury interior designers unique handcrafted bedside lighting pieces in attractive clear, smoked and reeded glass shades, with bespoke options on enquiry.
The glass shade details of each Ambassador Wall Light are cut by hand using traditional techniques (a ruler and glass knife) and bonded by hand at Gwyn’s Chesterfield studio. Edges are arrised (smoothed) by hand. The long thin rectangular glass shades are complemented by an attractive Tubular Gold Flex LED filament dimmable lamp.
Established by founder and Director Jeff Fuller in 2013 The Light Yard was rebranded in 2020 to underscore the company’s artisanal offering with Gwyn Carless at The Light Yard producing light fittings for numerous commercial and residential projects in the UK, Europe and North America. Introduced to Raymond Blanc OBE at the 2019 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Gwyn Carless at The Light Yard was invited to provide the lighting design including bespoke interior and exterior pieces for his renowned botanical-themed Chelsea pop up restaurant Jardin Blanc in 2021 right in the heart of the show, which was much admired by guests to the show as well as by the celebrated chef Raymond Blanc.
Focus SB’s bespoke metal grid front plates and components include an unrivalled selection of faceplate styles in addition to its established Ambassador range, available with traditional style retractive light switches and controls. Precision engineered to order, these offer a variety of remarkable electrical accessories options and are specified by high end design consultants for outstanding interiors around the world.
Offering its customers superior solutions for exceptional project design and finish continuity detail, the Ambassador Wall Light sees Focus SB leading its industry in the design and manufacture of striking luxury hospitality products, tested and hand assembled in-house prior to dispatch.
Interior designers visiting Decorex stand A74 will be able to view a beautifully handcrafted Ambassador Wall Light from this exquisite new lighting collection featuring a smoked shade, lamp with spiral LED filament by Gwyn Carless at The Light Yard, paired with a quality metal plate finished in-house in Jordan bronze by Focus SB.
