Ceramic lighting has long held a place in luxury interiors, celebrated for its tactility, warmth, and enduring beauty. Award-winning British lighting studio Northern Lights reinterprets mid-century and 1970s-inspired designs for contemporary settings, combining texture, materiality, and meticulous craftsmanship.
Each piece exudes personality and sculptural presence, enhancing hotel bedrooms, lounges, and communal areas. Recent installations at the Caledonian Edinburgh and Hilton London Park Lane showcase how these ceramic designs remain relevant, seamlessly complementing both heritage schemes and modern interiors with organic elegance.
In the guest rooms at the Caledonian Edinburgh, over 100 Halsa lamps were selected to harmonise with a soothing, tactile material palette. The lamps’ bodies, textured to reflect the patterns left by sea tides on sand, are finished in reactive and natural glazes that catch the light beautifully, creating a sense of calm and organic beauty.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
