A wall light that earns its place even before you switch it on. The In The Sun by DCW éditions. ✨

Designed by Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost as a homage to the Sun King, it wraps a cylindrical glass body in a fine metallic mesh of brass or stainless steel. When lit, that mesh catches and refracts light into radiating patterns across the surrounding surfaces. The result is as much about what it does to the room as the light itself.

Available in three sizes, 190mm, 270mm, and 380mm, with body and mesh finishes independently selectable across Gold and Silver combinations. The kind of piece that works in a Parisian apartment, a whitewashed villa, or anywhere in between. 🤍

Imported to order from France, with international shipping included in the price and approximately 4 weeks for delivery. Discover the In The Sun Wall Light via the DCW éditions link in our bio.

Two New Zealand studios, one really lovely pendant. ✨

The Ovale is a collaboration between Luke Jacomb Studio and Capsühl, inspired by vintage Italian oval lamp shades. That flattened, wide form is designed to sit low and pool light gently across the surface below rather than projecting it outward.

What makes it genuinely special is the glass. Each shade is individually hand-blown in Auckland, with the colour achieved through chemical reactions during the melting process rather than dyes or colourants. That means the colour will never fade, and the subtle variation you see from piece to piece, stronger in some areas and paler in others, is simply the nature of the material.

Available in Golden Spruce, Smoked Grey, Eel Green, and Steel Grey, in two sizes and two fitting finishes. Made to order in Auckland, with a 2 to 3 week lead time. 🤍

Custom architectural linear lighting, designed and made right here in Cambridge, New Zealand. ✨

The Capsühl Linear is made to measure, which means it fits your space precisely rather than the other way around. Specify the length, choose your finish, select your switching preference, and we take care of the rest from our Cambridge workshop.

Trusted by designers, architects and homeowners across New Zealand for kitchen islands, dining spaces, and architectural projects where the lighting needs to be exactly right.

This is what Matte Black looks like above a kitchen like this one. 🖤

A field trip to traditional Japanese Washi papermakers. That’s where the Hashira Collection by Audo Copenhagen began. ✨

Designed by Norm Architects, the collection takes cylindrical raw linen forms and lets light do the rest. The translucent raw linen shade reveals the graphic structure within, emitting a soft, non-invasive glow in every direction. The pendant hangs quietly above a dining table or in a bedroom. The ceiling lamp brings the same warmth flush to the ceiling. The linear pendant stretches the form horizontally, perfect above an island or long table.

And the light it emits is simply gorgeous 😍

Three forms, one material, one language. The kind of collection that works as a single piece or across an entire interior. 🤍

Made to order, with international shipping to NZ included in the price and approximately 6 weeks for delivery. Discover the full Hashira Collection via the link in our bio.

There are chandeliers, and then there is the Focus Collection by DCW éditions. These are not the same thing. ✨

Designed by Yuji Okitsu and inspired by the solar system, the Focus pendants are composed of luminous aluminium and PMMA discs suspended in a planetary arrangement. The Focus 3 has three discs. The Focus 4 spreads wider across a dining table or open-plan space. The Focus 5 goes further still, a five-disc installation that commands a room completely.

Each disc glows with integrated 2700K dimmable LED, warm and precise. The matt structure, the 3-metre cable, the considered spacing between each disc. Nothing here is accidental.

Available in Black, White and Gold (Focus 5 only), imported to order from France, with approximately 4 weeks for delivery. These are the kind of piece you plan a room around. 🤍

Dantela is the Greek word for lace. Look closely and you’ll see exactly why. ✨

The Dantela Wall Light by Memento Mori Ceramics is hand-folded in ceramic before firing, with real lace pressed into the surface to leave a fine woven texture in the glaze. The result is an organic, petal-like form with a gently undulating edge and a soft opal glass globe glowing quietly at its centre. Because each piece is hand-folded, no two are exactly alike.

Made right here in New Zealand, available in Blue Grey, Forest Green, Bone, White, and Soft Pink. At 175mm across, it’s smaller than you might expect, which somehow makes the craftsmanship even more impressive. Delicate in appearance, completely considered in ex*****on. 🩵💚🤍

Made to order, with approximately 4 weeks for delivery. Discover the Dantela via the ‘ new arrivals’ link in our bio. X

We were delighted to source and supply the feature wall and pendant lighting for a selection of suites at the Grand Millennium Auckland, working alongside the talented team at Material Creative. ✨

Their brief was beautifully clear: an elegant transformation, elevating each space with luxurious materials, refined detailing, and timeless design to offer an unforgettable guest experience. The lighting had to match that ambition.

From the brass chandelier anchoring the dining and living spaces to the bedside wall sconces and picture lights casting warm, considered layers of light throughout, every fitting was chosen to feel at home in a space this refined.

A huge thank you to Material Creative® for bringing us into this project. 🤍

Raglan Rest by Edwards White Architects. A house that is at once sculptural object and inviting family home. And right at the heart of it, the Capsühl Linear in Brushed Brass. ✨

Against a palette of dark cabinetry, hexagonal tile, concrete benchtops and that extraordinary cedar ceiling, the Brushed Brass linear holds its own beautifully. Warm, precise, and exactly the right weight for a kitchen this considered.

Designed and made in New Zealand, custom specified to length and finish. This is what happens when the lighting is part of the conversation from the very beginning. 💛
