Experts in designing and handcrafting sustainable, artisan wooden lighting, Tom Raffield expand their iconic range with the Leven Lighting Collection, a versatile offering of six brand new eye-catching designs, launching 30th April 2021.

Synonymous with nature, each design in Tom Raffield's handcrafted product range is hand-shaped using sustainable FSC wood into sculptural pieces of art using a pioneering and ecological form of steam bending. 

Inspired by the striking formations of smooth sea-eroded cliff faces and ridged headlands that distinguish the north coast of Cornwall, the Leven Lighting Range features two drum pendants, two flush ceiling lights (a highly-anticipated addition to the brand's recently launched Flush Lighting Range), plus a wall and tripod floor light. Each new Leven luminaire, named after the Cornish word for 'level', celebrates paired-back structural beauty with its tiered, timeless drum shape. 
"Tom has brought simple yet refined silhouettes to the collection with the new Leven Lighting Range, a striking but subtle affair that hints at both Scandinavian and Art Deco aesthetics. Artfully marrying contrasting materials of hand curved oak or walnut wood and sleek brass, this intricate design has all the hallmarks of a future classic".
Handcrafted using brass rivets and an innovative structural ply-wood internal frame, Leven, like Raffield's other designs, uses minimal glue and chemicals. Leven is the latest launch in the Tom Raffield range to boast a lifetime guarantee - a unique 'dry construction' process ensures each light can be easily repaired to ensure it lasts for generations to come and becomes an heirloom of the future.

THE NEW COLLECTION INCLUDES:

Leven Drum Pendant

The Leven Drum Pendant is handcrafted using four tiers of curving oak or walnut timber that climb a central plywood frame summit. Use to illuminate hallways, living spaces and bedrooms alike, the Leven’s timeless drum aesthetic creates versatile downlighting suited to a myriad of interiors. 

Leven Drum Pendant Small

A small space alternative of our Leven Drum pendant. Secured at the seams with five brass accented rivets, each taut layer of the Leven Drum Pendant Small showcases sustainably sourced wood and builds a balanced silhouette of careful craftsmanship.

Leven Wall Light

Showcasing structural beauty, the Leven Wall Light creates pools of light from it's Art Deco inspired tiered aesthetic. Sustainably sourced oak or walnut loop in layers to compliment, emphasise or elevate the space it claims. Best situated in pairs.

Leven Drum Floor Light

Arched in tension, each tiered timber level that makes up the Leven Floor Light's drum shape is held securely at the seams by five brass accented rivets to produce a glowing silhouette of ambient illumination. Comes with assembled tripod legs in matching sustainably sourced oak or walnut.

Leven Flush Ceiling Light

Suited to lower ceiling heights and smaller interiors, this compact variation of the Leven Pendant offers the same modern aesthetic and appeal as its full-sized counterpart, without taking up too much space.

Leven Small Flush Ceiling Light

A supple slice of smooth, sustainably sourced oak or walnut wood arches around an intricate laser cut birch ply frame to create a small-space lighting design worthy of illumination. Glow beyond. Elevate your interior.
