Skinflint Design have been hunting out some of the UK¹s most extreme environments for their exciting Spring 2011 collection to be launched in February 2011.
LAUNCH FEBRUARY 2011 - LAUNCH FEBRUARY 2011
Lights in their stunning new range will include a run of converted M.O.D tank signal pendants- still complete with their original sights.
A collection of Oil Rig surface mounted bulkhead lights, the 'British Bullfinch' Search Light now converted into a tripod floor lamp and the one of a kind 'Cambridge Recorder' a converted seven day temperature gauge salvaged from the cellulose stores of a paint factory to the East of London.
SKINFLINT SPRING COLLECTION
Some of these stunning lights are featured below:
Glass and aluminium searchlight by 'British Bullfinch' - a fantastic floor lamp for any interior whether contemporary or period property.
Extreme environment bulkheads - a few of these would light a spiral staircase and make a perfect architectural feature
Signal lamp pendants from the MOD - these would look amazing over a wooden table in an eclectic kitchen.
Each and every product in Skinflint¹s reclaimed and restored lighting range is a piece of history with its own tale to tell, and the SKINFLINT team, Chris and Sophie Miller, have travelled the length and breadth of the UK hunting out these rare and unusual lighting pieces.
Chris says: "Lights such as these were really engineered to last- the detail of the castings reflects the intensity of their construction"
"These lights are simply stunning," comments Sophie "Their background stories add a real sense of history to them"
Based in Cornwall but retailing globally,
SKINFLINT specialises in sourcing and restoring original lighting products, with an emphasis on products with simple and clean lines. Its constantly changing collection of products are all professionally restored in Cornwall by a dedicated team of local fabricators ensuring the essence and character of the lighting is always retained, whilst also bringing the products in line with modern safety standards.
SKINFLINT¹s diverse and ever-changing stock encompasses all areas of reclaimed lighting from pendants to lighting for the wall or ceiling, floor lights through to lighting for specific tasks such as reading and working. The company is particularly strong on unusual one-off finds and sourcing good runs and quantities of lighting, making us a useful resource for both domestic projects and larger scale commercial developments such as bars, shops and restaurants.
The collection launches next month - if you are interested in these or other lumnaires, contact them directly.
