We are really pleased with this set of replica lanterns ready to be delivered to a National Trust property in the Midlands.
If you are interested in our work lighting historic properties, we hope to post some more pics of them in situ soon. Sanna has also written about our work here:

'Lighting plays a role in creating environments which are more immersive and more visually striking, and as such, accommodating enchantment – prompting wonder, surprise and even uneasiness. Lighting design, therefore, supports my own understanding of visitor experience, allowing visitors to become part of a scene—close to a simulated reality as we see with films. The more senses are engaged, the more immersive the simulated reality becomes, and the further removed from the visitors’ everyday experience it is. Enchantment and immersion are part of human nature, with our history in oral and visual storytelling. While an experience may come across as pure entertainment, new understandings, not based solely on knowledge but on emotional engagement, can offer new perspectives and lead to transformation.'
