Modern Lighting Design for Beautiful Interior Spaces
Ambient, sculptural lighting and furniture, crafted by hand and designed to bring the best of nature indoors.
Each floor and table lamp is a striking work of art – a sculpture by day with clean lines and simplicity of form. At night, its soft glow and falling shadows creates a moody intimacy – comforting, cosy and snug.
A former ECC Lighting Awards finalist, Gus’s lamps and bespoke furniture have the attention of interior designers – commissioned work is welcomed should you need a design specific for your space.
Gus creates his signature floor and table lamps using sustainably sourced bamboo plywood, making each with the care and precision of artisans of yesterday. No corners cut, no design element compromised.
To see a design for yourself make an appointment to visit Gus at his design studio at 21 Church Street, Timaru.
