Davey Lighting We Love for Your Home
Choosing a light for your home can be one of those mundane tasks you do as a matter of course. However, at HORNE, we believe that this process is so much more. It’s the consideration of the space and its uses; it’s the appreciation of good materials and quality design; and it’s the masterful distillation of tradition and innovation into pieces that complete the vision just as well as they illuminate. It’s not a complicated science, but there’s definitely an art to choosing good lighting for your home. The catalogue of lights we curate includes brands that care about the design, manufacturing, installation, and use of every light. Davey Lighting is one such brand. From sconces to pendants their collection is deeply rooted in the history of chandlery and naval expedition, making each light a glimpse into a time gone by. Here are Davey Lighting lights we love for your home.
About Davey Lighting
This brand is so unique thanks to its origins in marine equipment. Working with metals and glass crafted to withstand the harshest of conditions, the Davey Lighting passion and expertise translated beautifully into home lighting. Often taking on an old-world industrial feel, each piece transports you to the late 19th century and a time when quality trumped quantity and when the world on was on the cusp of big changes.
Capturing the aesthetic and functionality of traditional lanterns and infusing a maritime feel, Davey Lighting expands the meaning of modern lighting and brings British practicality to artistic concepts.
Davey Lighting We Love for Your Home
While we love all their designs, we know the below piece will speak to you. Not only do they serve various aspects of your home and routine, but they have elements that are distinct to the Davey Lighting catalogue.
Narrow Box Wall Light - Internally Glassed
A light that truly calls you home, the Narrow Box Wall Light is a Davey Lighting classic. A single bulb is housed in a dark brass frame and enclosed by glass panels set internally. This particular composition has a homey feeling, especially with a warmer color temperature, that looks beautiful and minimalistic on front porches to light your way home after a long day. Use in pairs indoors and outdoors.
Oval Brass Bulkhead 7035
A truly timeless light, the Oval Brass Bulkhead 7035 captures Davey Lighting’s origins as maritime tool makers. You can envision this light on a ship as it cuts through troubling waves—and it looks just as good on your porch and patio, and in your office or entryway. The soft oval curves offset the bolder, die-cast brass bars that give the construction its durability and industrial feel.
Exterior Bracket Light – Canted
Sophisticated and simple, the Exterior Bracket Light is also incredible practical. Featuring very simple details like a brass or galvanized cast iron arm and a single bulb, this light has a modest and approachable silhouette that looks fantastic in all spaces. Additionally, its angled arm casts the light further away from the wall, allowing it to spill out over walkways.
School Light Wall 7200
The School Light is one of our favorites. Part of a series, the School Light Wall 7200 is a versatile light that can be a task lamp, spotlight, or just simple illumination for darker corners. This wall light works beautifully as a bathroom light fixture or a stylish addition to dining room chandeliers. Between its form, durable metal shade, and ability to enhance all spaces, this light brings longevity to your modern home lighting.
The Diner 125 Pendant
Clean and modern, The Diner 125 Pendant is the quintessential dining room pendant light. Simple enough to pair well with a variety of other lights and décor, but still large and impressive enough to have an impact in any size space, the Diner 125 Pendant provides ample lighting and looks fantastic with modern dining tables.
Medium Spun Reflector
Beautifully using copper in contrasting finishes, the Medium Spun Reflector harnesses the power of the darker weathered copper to achieve refined industrial sophistication, while the polished copper enhances the brightness of the bulb. The hand-spun copper is smoothed, giving the whole industrial composition a more elegant presence.
Maritime Inspired Lighting
The word maritime may not be the most inspirational when it comes to lighting, but we believe it has an irresistible rustic charm that mysteriously works well in almost any home. Pair a simple Lantern Wall Light with a Scandinavian interior to infuse the warmth of old school oil lamps. Or bring the linear Cabin Wall Light into more modern homes to complement other geometric furnishings.
Either way, maritime-inspired lights have an industrial feel that is often found in other design aesthetics so they act as perfect complements no matter what look you’re trying to achieve.
