“The Loer Crescent Pendant and Loer Floor Light represent an exciting evolution of our lighting range. Our newest lighting designs serve as ethereal centrepieces that bring the celestial beauty closer to home”.
– Tom Raffield, designer, and founder.
Inspired by the elliptical orbits of the planets and moons that line the inner edges of our vast solar system, the Loer Lighting Range brings weightless illumination to any space it reaches. Combining a beautiful translucent glass sphere, sustainable steam bent ash wood and brushed metallic brass, the Loer showcases minimal, nature-inspired design at its finest.
Illuminate space. Seek the extraordinary.
Loer Crescent Pendant
The Loer Crescent Pendant seamlessly integrates with any interior, from modern to traditional, providing both celestial illumination and an artistic focal point. A gentle arc of steam bent ash, mimicking the crescent moon, holds two varying sized, translucent globes to cast a captivating glow across the space.
This statement, wooden ceiling pendant is thoughtfully crafted to create the perfect balance, and its unique design looks equally eye-catching when switched off. Suited to an array of interiors and property styles, the soft effect looks particularly striking as entranceway lighting, bedroom lighting and in reception rooms.
Loer Floor Light
Complementing the wooden lighting range’s cosmic allure, the Loer Floor Light takes inspiration from solar forms. Mirroring the glow of distant stars, the Loer Floor Light surrounds the space in an otherworldly ambiance.
Meaning ‘Moon’ in Cornish, the Loer Floor Light showcases a translucent glass orb with clouded bands of warm celestial white light which suspends within a sleek arch of supple ash wood. The Loer showcases the Tom Raffield's signature curves whilst bringing a new dynamic and sleek aesthetic to their growing range of timeless lighting.
