The Bold New Lighting Collection Everyone is Talking About

Anyone following design reports will tell you, trends in lighting seem to come and go quite quickly these days, especially in an ever-changing landscape and fast paced launch cycles. This notion is certainly antithetical to Jamb founders Will Fisher and Charlotte Freemantle who have been quietly producing bespoke lighting for the worlds top interior designers and decorators from their home and studio in London. Specializing in traditional skills, exceptional craftsmanship and a keen eye to detail, the duo is set to debut the brand new Deco collection, timed with London Design Week, made of five distinctive pieces that do not seem to follow any sort of trends at all.Michael SinclairPictured above, the Hopper Alabaster, a wall sconce in cast brass with alabaster shade.Inspiration in AntiquesDecidedly glamorous in style and a hint majestic, Charlotte recalls, We sought to soften the edges of each piece in a more romantic fashion. This romance has become a melodic line, one that was carried through from their distinctive pink room at the Wow! House at Chelsea Harbour Design Centre this past year and brought forward in developing these new product categories. Seeking new inspirations through old antiques has become part of a well-versed repertoire for Will, having spent his formative years studying antique objects. He notes, We start with finding an original piece and that presents the kernel of an idea that we build upon. When we get obsessed with something, we really get drawn in. A buying trip and a plethora of discoveries inspired the early twentieth century themes of The Bloomsbury Group, the Roaring Twenties, and the world of the Belle poque for which this small collection took flight.Michael SinclairThe Thelma pendant light features a hand stippled brass frame, three horse-bit chains and a skirt available in linen or silk.Materiality in FocusFrom a materials perspective, hand-planished metal, luminescent alabaster and shimmering silk textiles combine to create unexpected pairings and compelling juxtapositions. In some designs, hand carved patterns are cast using a traditional lost wax technique, one of the original forms of casting offering the noblest form of manufacture, as Will describes. The inclusion of decorative fabrics, another hold-over from the Wow! House show is something Charlotte is particularly keen to continue to work with in new ways with regards to product development. She says, Drapery softens and diffuse light in a room and textiles has a similar effect with our collection, it suggests candlelight.Michael SinclairA new floor lamp from the Deco Collection is styled in a contemporary setting with a variety of antique pieces of furniture and objects.Making a StatementWe often hear that lighting is the jewelry of the home, and if thats the case, the Deco collection is suitable for creating a unique and inviting ambiance you will not find anywhere else. The perfect piece of jewelry often completes the look and compliments the ensemble, which this collection does with aplomb. The designers photographed the collection in situ which gives us a better sense of how these objects can fit into any interior environment, from mid-century modern spaces to those of more traditional pedigree, all the while, bucking trends and perhaps, however unintentionally, starting new ones.Michael SinclairThe Hatton Rod embodies the Art Deco aesthetic with its alabaster bowl and brass detailing. It has the added versatility of providing down and uplighting.Available from Jamb, 95-97 Pimlico Road, London and jamb.co.uk.This story originally appeared in the April 2025 issue of Elle Decor.SUBSCRIBE
