The design narrative for Nobu London Portman Square was focused on an atmosphere of timeless elegance and contemporary luxury.
Lighting was to be an essential element in creating the right ambience and when it came to statement decorative fittings, bespoke lighting manufacturer Dernier & Hamlyn was the obvious choice.
Dernier & Hamlyn has been making bespoke lighting since 1888 and their work for David Collins Studio at The Nobu saw their team’s extensive experience and wide-ranging artisan skills brought to bear in a variety of ways to produce more than 100 individual pieces crafted from brass and hand finished in bronze.
Lighting made by Dernier & Hamlyn features in the most spectacular areas of the hotel including wall, ceiling and pendant lights in the restaurant and bar and private dining room.
Particularly noteworthy bespoke light fittings crafted to David Collins Studio’s designs include:
David Collins Design Studio’s design director Lewis Taylor says: “We have a proven track record of collaborating with Dernier & Hamlyn to create unique lighting pieces that are finished to the highest quality. Their craftsmen and technicians really know the level of detail we will want to go into and the uncompromising quality that we expect. The process of transforming an idea off paper and into reality with them is also an enjoyable one with sampling and mock-ups to ensure the desired finished lighting effect in addition to the finished product.”
Lyn Newcombe, Dernier & Hamlyn’s head of projects said: “This project utilised many of our team’s skills to ensure the lighting we manufactured achieved the quality and attention to detail required. The lighting they produced for Nobu Hotel London Portman Square is even more exquisite than we hoped for and we have no doubt that the hotel’s guests and diners will have their experience enhanced by the mood it helps to create.”
