For the latest in European lighting, look no further than the new ELDC  showroom in Parkhurst.

The recently launched ELDC showroom in Parkhurst features a contemporary European layout, reflecting owner Marc Machtelinckx’s refined taste in light fittings. “At ELDC we plan to bring to the market our new fittings and brands in line with European trends,” says Reshoketswe (Shoki) Mokale of ELDC.

Here are four of our favourite designs.

Disk by Jean-François d’Or for TossB, R6 790

As a hanging lamp above a table, the Disk casts a warm pool of reflected light for an intimate atmosphere. It can also be used as a wall or ceiling lamp.

Take Away LED portable lamp by Nahtrang for Faro, R2 907

This portable lamp produces a diffused light – the intensity can be adjusted – for up to 5 hours before the battery needs recharging.

Ball light by Michael Anastassiades Studio for Michael Anastassiades, R19 665

The Ball light comes in different variants, here as a pendant with polished brass and a 2 m-long flexible insulated electric cord.

Cylinda table lamp by Angeletti & Ruzza for Oluce, R20 027,25

The Cylinda consists of two metal cylinders: a slender one as the base and a disc that forms the shade above a 15 W LED.

Designer lighting brand Hemmesphere, from Massow Designs, has officially launched in South Africa. The collection consists of a series of wooden frames inspired by Japanese designs and shadow-play.

This UK-based bespoke lighting company is owned by Barend Massow Hemmes. His creations are heavily influenced by his time spent as an interior designer, combining functionality and aesthetics to create timeless and stylish pieces.

Either ceiling or wall-mounted, Hemmesphere aims to create pieces to suit individual clients’ needs with an option to customise.

“With an ethos built on the idea of play, where the customer feels compelled to experiment with what the light can unveil, Hemmesphere works with its client base of home-owners, decorators and designers to ensure that any spatial requirements can be met using one of the brand’s unique and immediately recognisable lighting designs,” the brand explains.
