STORY Elizabeth Clarke

“Melbourne-based designer Christopher Boots’s signature aesthetic explores the relationships between nature, architecture, symbology, geometry and geology, and offers the most distinctive contemporary approach to lighting design we've seen.
This, combined with the skill and care that go into creating his spectacular, hand-crafted pieces, makes him a highly sought-after luxury brand worldwide.
In our time of open-plan living, kitchen lighting has truly become an essential accent of the interior, and larger spaces provide an opportunity to inject interest and impact.
When selecting kitchen lighting, consider height, placement and proportion. A beautiful fitting will become your kitchen’s focal point.”

“Be creative with decorative lighting in the kitchen to elevate it beyond a purely functional space. Use lighting in unexpected ways – wall or picture lights, a lamp in a nook or reveal, a pendant at the end of an island bench, or several flush mounts where ceilings are low, to add beautiful detail. Throw light down from the ceiling, wash a wall with it using sconces or a table lamp to illuminate a corner so it will bounce light around the room.
Consider how your material and finish selections will play off one another. Using natural materials and organic finishes is on the up, so ensure your lighting finishes reflect this. Your marble benchtops patina beautifully over time, and so will your natural brass light fittings. Curate pieces and finishes that age beautifully, add character and remain classic.”

“To make a statement, curate an arrangement that resembles an art-like installation. Use a combination of pendant lights to create a unique composition to fit the space and draw the eye. Or mix different styles, shapes and sizes within the space for artistic flair. It's like creating a visual symphony with lights, where each pendant contributes to the composition. Maintaining a cohesive theme, colour and material palette is essential to tie everything together and provide ample illumination while creating a captivating focal point.
Drawing inspiration from designers such as Lambert & Fils, Flos, Buster + Punch and Herman Miller, renowned for their innovative and stylish lighting designs, elevates and contributes to a well-curated and visually striking space.”
