Designed to refresh the guest experience at Hilton Newcastle Gateshead, this project required a lighting scheme that balanced refinement with practical performance across a large-scale bedroom rollout. Collaborating with JK. Interiors, Northern Lights supplied a hybrid package of fully bespoke fittings and customised Signature lights, unified through a rich Roman Bronze specialist finish.


Agile Prototyping Meets Scalable Production

To accelerate development, sample room fittings were produced entirely in-house at our Derbyshire HQ.

JK. Interiors visited to review every piece first-hand, allowing rapid refinement and sign-off. Minor adjustments - including increased base stability for the Verona floor lamp to suit the carpet selected - were implemented instantly through our in-house teams.

Sample rooms were delivered just five weeks from concept approval, enabling swift decision making and a confident move into full production. Once signed off, our international manufacturing arm enabled volume rollout at speed, maintaining the same artisanal standards as the UK prototypes - ensuring consistency, control, and flawless finish quality throughout. 

"Northern Lights make fast-paced hotel projects feel easy. Their ability to combine bespoke fittings with customisable collections gives designers unlimited flexibility. From sample rooms to full-scale rollouts, projects move swiftly while upholding the exceptional standards expected in luxury hospitality. The speed, creativity, and collaboration on Hilton Newcastle-Gateshead is exactly why I continue to work with them."

Design Highlights

Corvus Reimagined
Our original Corvus glass pendant design was transformed into a striking wall light with elongated stem and dual fixings, framing the bedside in refined architectural symmetry.

Reeded Glass Bespoke Wall Light
A fully tailored design, defined by soft reeded glass, Roman Bronze metalwork, and a warm diffusion that elevates the guestroom atmosphere.

Sodium Twin Wall Light & Verona Floor Lamp
Both adapted from our Signature Collection - colour-matched in Roman Bronze for continuity, with the Verona base subtly enlarged for stability while retaining its elegant profile.

By pairing UK craftsmanship with scalable international manufacturing, we delivered a scheme that marries creative flexibility with practical rollout efficiency within budgets. The result - consistent luxury lighting, delivered at pace, aligned perfectly with the designer’s concept and the operational demands of a major hotel refurbishment.
