Mr Haug knows good lighting.

Located in Melbourne’s East Brunswick is the Volker Haug studio, where many unique creations are being strewn together as we speak.

There is no doubt in the importance of lighting to either make or break the feeling of an interior space. Using uncanny materials such as plumbing joints and things people normally associate in the category of “junk”, Volker’s peculiar yet minimalist style makes it easy to picture his lights in the latest trendy bar, or in your very own living room.

His range is vast and extensive, however below are a few of our stand out favourites.

Cable Jewellery:

Gone Fishing:

Nuts for Leather:

It’s not that we are obsessed with tea……..

…….ok maybe just a little bit, but when we stumbled upon this dainty “Electric Mavis Luminare” design by Gregory Bonasera, it was just way too hard to resist.

Made from recycled and pre loved tea cups and saucers, these delicate and elegant crockery items are transformed into whimsical and quirky light fittings. The selection of random colours and patterns used, add perfectly to the quaint end result.

Two configurations are available either a single pendant or a triple pendant as shown below.

Gregory is a ceramicist by trade who is currently located in Victoria, his work is regularly exhibited in Australia and internationally.

Fancy a floor lamp which can be displayed either this way or that way – depending on your mood for the day, or just because you feel like it? Perhaps Mr. Stickley the floor lamp could assist with this craving.

Founded by Sydney based industrial designer Frag Woodall, “societydefrag” was established in 2008 and their portfolio ranges from furniture, object, packaging, eyewear and transport design. (Quite a good looking studio judging by the image shown on their website – easy to see some great design ideas being launched from such an environment).

Mr Stickley has three basic arrangements; upright, a mid position and a low cantilevered lean. The base of the light is fabricated from American Walnut and four Marimekko colour shades are available for choosing.

Beautiful rustic simplicity is an accurate description for Juliet Horsley’s lamp range. The combination of the raw timber base with the use of clean, linear and neutral lampshades provide a fantastic affect that instantly brings a warm element to a space.

Juliet’s creations stem from her passion and love of country life, with a majority of her products being manufactured from reclaimed timbers, which each have their own individual back ground stories.

Introducing Mr. Cooper, a spun copper pendant light which even though was inspired by an old tin can telephone, provides a beautiful and innovative twist to the traditional rustic look & feel.

Coco Flip is a multidisciplinary Melbourne based design studio, established and led by Kate Stokes since 2010. With an impressive CV up her sleeve, Kate was provided the opportunity to kick start her design studio when at the start of 2010, she was awarded an Australia Council ArtStart grant.

Melbourne Based lighting and furniture company Alex Earl produces a range of exciting and innovative lighting fixtures all manufactured and constructed in house. Their impressive manufacturing facilities located in Collingwood include CNC machining, metal work machining/welding and woodworking equipment.

This design company is also quite conscious of their environmental impact; they use FSC approved plywoods and solid timber, their off-cuts are recycled into other products where possible, the electricity they use in their workshop and showroom is sourced from renewable energy providers, and all plastic and metal off cuts are returned to the manufacturers for re-use – we think it’s safe to say, you can feel good about owning one of their pieces.

Their polypropylene lights featured above can be custom made to suit any size required and are just, to simply put it ….. “pretty”.

To seek more of Alex Earl’s pieces, visit their website and be sure to check out their custom projects for some impressive portfolio pieces.
