Glen Villa
Glen Villa is a home where design and lighting converge to create an immersive, unforgettable living experience, with every element thoughtfully curated to evoke warmth, beauty, and a sense of serenity. Here lighting is not just a functional element but an integral part of the home’s design, creating a statement that enhances the beauty of every room. The materials chosen for each light fixture elevate the space, with custom-made elements crafted to perfection. Our main event, a feature light showcasing patinated plates that incorporate rich hues of gold, brown, and turquoise blue. These layered plates, embodying subtle earthy tones are a striking focal point, contributing both warmth and character to the ambiance.
The bespoke feature light was designed with the essence of "barefoot luxury" in mind. These lights not only illuminate but also highlight the intricate details of sculptures and architectural elements, casting dramatic shadows that add depth and a dynamic play of light and dark. The combination of warm glows and textured surfaces brings the space to life, offering fresh perspectives and creating an atmosphere of refined elegance.

A standout piece in the villa is the Glacier Light Pendant, inspired by a frozen water drop. This pendant captures the essence of nature’s beauty, skilfully concealing light sources to mimic the ethereal glow of warmth emanating from within an ice formation. The design reflects the enchanting interplay of light and ice, drawing inspiration from the moment when the sun’s rays meet frozen water, creating a soft, inviting radiance.
The two bespoke feature lights at Glen Villa were strategically placed to illuminate key focal points in the space, such as the dining table, while also adding an ambient and theatrical quality to the environment. These lights, designed to seamlessly blend practicality with aesthetics, are influenced by the surrounding natural energy, creating an atmosphere that is both inspired by nature and infused with the tranquil elegance of barefoot luxury.
