Luum through Faura

Faura specifies and orders Luum lighting for residential, hospitality and commercial projects, from single pendants to stairwell installations.

What Luum makes

Luum turns natural phenomena into sculptural light, from a raindrop frozen mid-air to the dappled light of a tree canopy. Its studio collection is made up of large-scale fixtures designed in-house, which can be customised in size, finish and configuration.

• Oslin: Luum's first collaboration with an external designer, David Irwin. A modular system built around a three-spoke connector cast in solid brass by the lost-wax process, in ten configurations and a range of metal and glass finishes.
• Leaf: a cascade of aluminium discs pierced with a sunray design, from a small version 0.85 m high to a large one 2.7 m high, or made to order.
• Raindrop: a shower of large hand-blown, silvered glass drops, lit from above and from within so light reflects off each drop.
• Bangle and Bangle LED: jewellery-inspired assemblies of pyramid forms; Bangle LED integrates diffused LED strips in each triangular form.
• Samara: two joined LED discs inspired by winged seeds, as a table lamp, wall light or 12-disc chandelier, in anodised champagne gold.

Custom and bespoke

For custom pieces, Luum adapts the collection to the project's dimensions, finishes and configuration, prepares visualisations and drawings, and oversees production, assembly and fitting. For bespoke commissions, the studio starts from the client's brief, researches themes and develops them into physical form through sampling and prototyping, making full-scale models before production in its UK workshop and final installation.

Luum's projects include a brushed-brass Bangle lobby installation at 100 Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, for interior design practice RPW, and a lighting sculpture for the Botswana Innovation Hub, commissioned by SHoP, made of 242 custom LED modules on a stainless steel net.
