Bespoke chandeliers are always a stand-out feature in the interior schemes of Jamie’s Italian. Aker Brygge is no exception. The stunning two-tier bespoke art-deco chandeliers feature rectangular clear-cut glass pieces that are suspended on the handmade bespoke chandelier frame. The frames were hand-finished in our factory to achieve the tarnished look, keeping it more in line with the other bespoke industrial lighting we manufactured for the site. The stripped-back design works in harmony with the minimalist furniture found throughout, while the dazzling refractions of light add a touch of glamour and warmth.
Industrial pendants are another staple in the Jamie’s Italian’s schemes. In Aker Brygge, Kontor & Interior specified a mixture of vintage railway lamps and contemporary style spun shades with vibrant contrasting colours. Adding to the dynamic are groups of bespoke glass globe pendants. Continuing the ‘mix and match’ approach, Kontor & Interior used both smoked glass balls and ribbed glass to achieve a balance between pure industrial lighting and the modern sophistication a restaurant in central Oslo needs.
Illuminating the pizza making area is a row of medium-sized industrial pendants complemented by a few cage pendants. The gentle light enhances the homely feeling around the live cooking corner and creates a bit of theatre around the process.
To complete the bespoke lighting scheme, Northern Lights also supplied other decorative and functional light fittings including clip wall lights and custom picture lights. All metalwork was hand-finished in our UK lighting factory to produce the bespoke brushed brass finish that complimented the rest of the furniture.
