Industrial mesh lighting with vintage character.
There is a particular quality of light that belongs to the converted warehouses south of the river — a warmth that seeps through ironwork and settles into brick. The Southwark captures precisely this character: a cylindrical cage of finely perforated metal mesh, suspended from a gracefully curved swan neck arm, casting an intricate lattice of amber light across whatever surface receives it.
The shade is formed from a single cylinder of precision-perforated steel mesh, finished in a deep matte black. When lit, each tiny aperture becomes a point of warm light, projecting a textured pattern onto the surrounding wall.
Where it works best
Southwark works beautifully in hallways and entrance halls, beside a bed in place of a table lamp, flanking a mirror, or above a kitchen worktop where task light meets atmosphere. The swan-neck projection allows the mesh shade enough distance from the wall for its light pattern to develop.

Styling & pairings
