Northern Lights crafts bespoke lighting for Le Jardin de Verre
British manufacturer Northern Lights has created a collection of bespoke lighting for Le Jardin de Verre, the latest addition to the Locke portfolio in Paris.
Northern Lights were tasked with creating unique lighting installations that complement the Parisian-inspired contemporary interiors envisioned by Fettle and Edyn’s in-house team. Crafted by their artisans with precision and skill, each piece fluidly integrates into the distinctive spaces to elevate the guest experience.
A Statement in Softness
Suspended in dynamic arrangements across the bar and public spaces, oversized fabric pendants – measuring 80cm in diameter – bring warmth and earthiness to the design. Gathered fabric detailing and contrasting orange and white tones infuse the space with softness and playfulness, complementing the vibrant energy of the Latin Quarter.
Bohemian Opulence in the Suites
Within the garden and presidential suites, bespoke multi-tier chandeliers introduce a sense of relaxed grandeur. Hundreds of individual tassels are affixed to different diameter rings, handcrafted and finished in a powder-coated in black for a striking contrast. The cascading tassels bring movement and tactility, complementing the opulent yet relaxed feel of these luxurious spaces.
Dynamic Co-Working Lounges
Balancing sophistication and functionality, the hotel’s co-working lounge is illuminated by large black powder-coated ring pendants adorned with ten opal glass globes. These fixtures provide a soft, diffused light that enhances productivity while maintaining an intimate and inviting atmosphere.
Transparent Grandeur in the Atrium Restaurant
Set beneath a dramatic glass ceiling, three-tiered feature pendants serve as the crowning jewel of the atrium restaurant. These striking luminaires combine expertly crafted steel rings with gracefully curved Perspex panels in a warm amber hue, with each panel housing individual golfball lamps. The result is a mesmerising interplay of light and transparency that accentuates – rather than interrupts – the architectural grandeur of the space.
Framing the Experience
Further elevating the design narrative, tiered fabric wall lights frame the restaurant’s archways, emitting a soft, ambient glow that enhances the immersive dining experience.
A Celebration of Light, Texture, and Form
Le Jardin de Verre stands as a testament to Northern Lights’ rich heritage and artistry, where technical design, expert craftsmanship, and material mastery shape an extraordinary sensory journey.
“This project exemplifies our ability to merge age-old, traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology, and a deep understanding of materiality,” comments Michael Jackson, Head of Design at Northern Lights. “We carefully consider the interplay of light, texture and form to craft bespoke pieces that go beyond illumination – shaping immersive experiences and forging emotional connections with the spaces they inhabit,”
From the bold, earthy energy of the public spaces to the intimate luxury of the suites, Northern Lights’ artisan lighting plays a pivotal role in defining the ambiance of Le Jardin de Verre, reaffirming its place as one of the most captivating hotel destinations in Paris.
