Funky Lights by Angelpoise

Karen

Designed by Kenneth Grange an industrial designer born in London in 1929.

Kenneth Grange views product design as an opportunity for innovation rather than merely as a means to aesthetic improvement, which is why he sees it as such an important part of the manufacturing process.

The Type1228 wall light is one of these innovations. The two tone shade is coloured on the outside and white on the inside giving a good working light and a pleasant ambience around the room.

The Type1228 was also the first product by Angelpoise where the shade can be rotated vertically.

Design Brilliance by Blomus

Karen

“A designer knows when he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away

Can we still find something truly unique in this day and age? In a world that is increasingly conforming to the norm, the unusual becomes more precious. The desire for uniqueness is great. The blomus brand fulfils this aspiration. It represents the exceptional amongst the mundane, the face that stands out in a crowd. In their quest for the remarkable, blomus designers have identified a single inexhaustible source of inspiration: the natural world. Elementary forms, solid materials, authentic radiance – these values can be rediscovered in blomus products in many fascinating ways.

Here at Dennis and McGregor we are always on the look out for unique designer brands to add to our ever increasing collection.  Blomus is one of those brands that we would love to add to our collection.  Their products are bold and beautiful and we would love to be part promoting this wonderful brand that is Blomus.

Unconventional Lighting from Design Instinct

Karen

Design Instinct’s ethic and style has been shaped by a number of disciplines including product design, industrial design, engineering and sculpture.  Their aim has been to synergise these influences and combine the strengths of each to create exceptional interior products; this has led to the development of a range of attractive products which have also been intelligently designed to make effective use of specific manufacturing processes.  Understanding engineering processes allows them to design products to take advantage of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses; making these methods work,  rather than hindering the design process.

While inevitably some components and materials have to be imported Design Instinct produce and source as much as the can right here in the UK, this not only reduces the carbon footprint of their products but also supports British businesses.

We are happy to return the favour and have these beautiful designs are part of our lighting collection.

Random World Pendant Lamps by Antonio Arevalo

Karen

Antonio Arévalo’s designs embody an unusually happy marriage between form and function. Their timeless, seductive and desirable qualities add distinction to modern homes in a perfect balance of effortless beauty. These enchanting products grow on the owner more and more.

Born in El Salvador, Arévalo’s youthful early designs were inspired by his interest in the techniques of mass production. On coming to England as a teenager, Antonio’s desire to produce individual-looking pieces with production in mind was stimulated by his after-school employment with a high profile industrial design consultancy called PDD Ltd.

Inspired by the idea that we are all designers, Antonio Arevalo’s Random World is an innovative lampshade that will add
an atmosphere of creativity and originality to any interior. The unique form is composed of a series of looped strips, engineered to fit together to create startling random effect.

The final product is in the hands of the individual, so make your own Random World and let your creativity shine out!

Inhabit Living

Karen

Known throughout the world as a prolific Design house, Inhabit has made a considerable impact on the world of design for the home. Basically by accident (and a printer found in the trash) founders Mike Tuttle and Jennifer Smith Tuttle turned a client’s distaste for three graphic patterns into fabric prototypes and in late 2002 Inhabit was born. Shortly after, they swore off designing for other clients to focus strictly on growing the Inhabit brand. Ever since they have been blurring the lines between design disciplines by taking their graphic-driven style out of the commercial design world and into your homes, commercial environments and public spaces.  Their products can be seen daily on television programs, read about in the most industry relevant publications but most-importantly adorning the spaces of fans everywhere – including us here at Dennis & McGregor.
