Connaught Place

Designer: 1508 LONDON

Location: London, UK

The owners of 5&6 Connaught Place, a grand residence facing Hyde Park, wanted to balance the building’s rich Regency history with bold contemporary insertions into its interiors.

Their design ambition was structured around a series of bespoke bronze and glass chandeliers that needed not only to be sympathetic to the scale and proportion of the rooms, but to embrace continuity between the finishes used for other elements in the existing design.

Dernier & Hamlyn was commissioned to create these exquisite light fittings, some of which were substantial in size and weight. Our technical expertise was essential to determine how to reinforce the current fixings to ensure they were fit for the purpose and that the installations were safe and seamless.

Creating features unique to their spaces in this way yet sensitive to historical architecture and aesthetics, we enhanced the overall design with sensitivity and showed a real understanding of this grand residence in its original glory.
