Tollgard Lighting Highlights – Lights to brighten up your day

Featured in the Design Centre’s Lighting by Design showcase, Tollgard is proud to offer a curated selection of some of the finest lighting brands in the world. From the gentle yet captivating glow of Bocci’s handblown glass spheres to the strongly simple forms of American studio Juniper – the opportunities to excite and illuminate are endless.

Bocci 28 Table Lamp

The 28 Table Light originated from a fabrication process that manipulates both the temperature and the direction of air flow into blown glass. The result is a slightly distorted sphere that houses an opaque orb of light that emits a gentle yet captivating glow. Founded by Omer Arbel in 2005, Bocci has become more than just a maker of beautiful glass luminaires. It brings together architecture, sculpture, invention, and design as each piece artistically and poetically explores the medium of light.

GUBI Gravity Table Lamp

Grounded by its marble base, the Gravity Lamp from Copenhagen based design studio, GUBI elegantly juxtaposes strength and fragility with this sculptural design. Designers Space Copenhagen aim to forge new paths by balancing opposites in their work. The contrast of these materials creates exciting new objects like this contemporary table lamp.

Details: 41 x 29 x 65cm, black marble, white shade

Juniper Thin Task Table Lamp

Redefining minimal lighting, the Thin Task Lamp is strikingly simple aesthetically. With its adjustable articulating hinge, it seamlessly adapts for functional tasks. A polished choice for desks across residential and commercial spaces. Based in New York, Juniper is an award-winning, fully integrated manufacturing and design studio with an unwavering belief in the transformative power of good design.

Giorgetti Nao Lamp

Almost spiritual in its presence, the Nao lamp pays homage to the Greek word for temple. Bringing light from darkness, it offers a peaceful warmth from its structure of solid polished maple and metal. It is a particular favourite of Tollgard showroom founder Staffan Tollgård.

Details: 39 x 25 x 54cm, White

Man of Parts Mainkai 5 Floor Lamp

Collected within these pages are some of the most dedicated, passionate and talented makers working in the world of furniture today. Edition 2 brings even more new and exciting additions.

‍

Before furniture was mass-produced, the hand of the maker was always visible. At Tollgard we have always been fascinated by stories —by the artists and craftspeople behind the pieces and brands. Our search to bring them together has been going on for more than fifteen years. The red thread —the creative DNA —that binds these makers from more than a dozen countries is the value they place on how things are made, the questions of living that they answer, and the honesty of their ingredients. The result: pieces that engage and endure. Stories that intrigue.

The celebration of the handmade across all corners of the globe has utterly captivated us. Beautifully functional design and the hand-working of metal, leather and wood have created its own language reminiscent of the principles of mid-century modern: less is more, honesty in manufacturing techniques and truth to materials. From Ceccotti Collezioni, Overgaard & Dyrman and Van Rossum on our European shores; to the East Coast heroes found at BassamFellows, Token, Skram, Juniper and RBW; to the South African artisans at Indigenus and Okha – we see a richness and a rawness that makes it hard to look away.

Welcome to our Brand Book. We are so proud to bring this collection to you.

The Impossible. Made Possible.
Introducing The Wave Collection

GRAVITY. A defiant force of nature, driving objects of mass together. This natural phenomenon serves as the inspiration behind Tollgard’s first collection of functional sculptures for The Refined Workshop. Exploring the gravitational attraction of objects around us, designers Staffan Tollgård and Filippo Castellani were moved to reinterpret convention and push the limits of material traditions.

Discover the impossible in person at The May Fair Hotel

Following a successful preview of the artist proof console in Slovenian stone at FOCUS/21, the Wave Collection has officially launched. A curated exhibition of first edition pieces from the collection takes pride in place in the expansive windows of The May Fair Hotel, London.

Wednesday 13th – Friday 5th November
The May Fair Hotel
Stratton Street, Mayfair, London W1J 8LT
10 am – 6 pm

Please drop by at your earliest convenience — we would be happy to welcome you. For sales enquiries, please contact erik@tollgard.com

A juxtaposition of soft curves and inherent strength, The Wave Collection highlights the importance of every surface within a design. These masterpieces bring intrigue to an otherwise overlooked surface – the underside of the tabletop – and are as much about what is absent as what is present. Seamlessly slotting together, the top gently rests on a graduated elliptical base. This collection achieves extraordinary complexity with apparent simplicity.

Beneath the surface of the design lies another story of history and power expressed in the stone itself. Grand Antique, a monochromatic beauty, rich in contrast and character, roots the provenance of these pieces back to the ancient Romans. Formed over millions of years in the valley of the River Lez, in the Ariege region of France, this is the most precious marble in the Pyrenees. From the Roman to the Byzantine Empires, this quarry and its coveted stone have adorned palaces through the centuries.

The Wave Console

The Wave console table expresses an elegant form, impeccably carved into being with one of the most prized natural stones in the world. A masterly combination of great design, authentic craftsmanship and innovative engineering.

The Wave Bench

The Wave bench sits at the nexus of functional sculpture, inviting physical engagement with a piece of art engineered from one of the most striking and fascinating natural stones in the world.
