Lutyens Contemporary Ltd – bespoke reproductions of furniture and lighting designs. Lutyens Contemporary is the new furniture and lighting design brand of Candia Lutyens, founder of Lutyens Furniture & Lighting. Whilst the latter has excelled in producing top end bespoke products around the original designs of Sir Edwin Lutyens, Lutyens Contemporary strives to bring the Lutyens Design idiom to a wider market and into the 21st Century with a focus on new derivative designs and new materials. The new range encompasses tables, chairs, lighting and accessories. All are highly suitable for and priced to suit the hospitality market.
Lutyens Contemporary – modern signature Lutyens seating in moulded ply
Our dining and desk seating range currently features three products made from moulded or pressed ply that is available in natural birch or a dark stain.
Our Tall Back Chair is based on an original Lutyens Design but is highly derivative as it uses a material – birch ply – and manufacturing technique that he would never have dreamed of. The chair is highly suitable for either dining, conferencing or in-room desk.
Our small Eye Chair was developed from a photograph of a chair seen in one of Lutyens’s key New Delhi buildings, presumed to have been designed by him. It has a very unique style with its emphasis on the interaction of circle and semi-circle. The chair is available in two sizes – suitable for an arrangement around a coffee table or for dining/conferencing. It is a striking design and very comfortable.
Lutyens’s iconic Web Chair is one of Lutyens Furniture & Lighting’s signature designs. The moulded ply adaptation for Lutyens Contemporary is intended to put a modern spin on an iconic piece of design that has its roots in the 17th Century. The chair is suitable for dining, conferencing or in-room desk.
Lutyens Contemporary – modern upholstered furniture
Lutyens Furniture & Lighting has long been well known for its signature piece, the Edwin Lutyens Napoleon Chair, with its distinctive asymmetric form. Classically, this chair has been upholstered by hand using traditional methods and has been very much in the bespoke arena. We are now making it using modern upholstery techniques and offer it in a choice of either Linwood Omega cotton velvet in a huge array of colours or in Muirhead leather in a choice of five shades.
Similarly, we have developed both the chunkier Robert Napoleon Chair and our Lytton range of chair, two- and three-seater sofas and ottoman with modern upholstery to be suitable for the hospitality market. The Lytton range also has a coffee table to match.
All three models of chair and sofa would be suitable for both lounge/lobby and in-room comfort.
Lutyens Contemporary – lighting
We are delighted to offer a range of lighting products from pendant lighting to floor, desk and table lamps.
Brand new for Lutyens Contemporary is our Hexagonal Pendant which is available in a range of colours. The pendant is cleverly lit with an LED strip concealed within the rim and so presents a “bulb-less” design. It is available in two sizes.
Our standard floor lamp made from profiled Perspex with a Perspex shade is ideal for signature or statement lighting.
Our desk and table lights with their turned wooden bases – available in Walnut or Sycamore – are suitable for mood lighting in public spaces and in-room lighting.
Our Cardinal Hat and Halo lights are available in a large number of shade colours and are suitable to be hung as single pendant or in combination. Both are available from our Lutyens Classic range with either hand blown or sandblasted glass and custom fit rod lengths.
Our Lozenge Lantern is available both in the Classic range with custom fabric stretched in bronze panels or in our Contemporary range with Perspex panels.
Lutyens Contemporary – Bedside table
This is a highly unusual design that incorporates style and functionality. It is a perfect match for our table lamp and is scaled to fit well in more modest bedroom sizes
Lutyens Contemporary – Accessories
Our Accessories range includes items for wall, table, desk and mantle. It includes our lozenge mirror, our table and desk lamps, salt and pepper mills, candlesticks, bookends, various desk tidy boxes and pen holders and a clock and barometer.
