Milan 2019 highlights

innermost exhibition at euroluce

A wonderful mix of technology and vibrant new aesthetics, the 2019 Milan Collection wowed at Euroluce.

Having worked with new designers and proven contributors we presented a collection that proudly displays our belief that: ‘light is a material’.

Thanks to everyone that visited us and made it such a fantastic show! From being drawn in by the stunning Kepler, to testing out our eye-catching Bud, the stand was packed with faces new and old.

It was great to share some Ginnermost & tonics with you all and show off the new collection. We hope to see some Bud tote bags glowing away at our next event!

Innermost Imitations

Authentically Innermost

At innermost we work with our designers to develop unique products using only the best quality materials combined with the latest innovative technology.
Our products come with a genuine 3 year warranty as we have total confidence in their design and durability and are proud to offer our customers the best after-sales care.

When you buy an original Innermost product you can trust in our high standards of intellectual property, ethical employment and environmental responsibility. And you can be sure that beautiful, genuine product will arrive in pristine condition.

Unfortunately, copies and imitations of our products do exist on the market.

Please beware of any fake products.
– These counterfeits most likely offer no assurances of CE, ETL, or WEEE certification: all the stuff that ensures they are safe for use and safe for the world.
– They rob designers of their royalties and can be crushingly harmful to the creative industry.
– It is unlikely that VAT is collected or tax is paid so purchasing them does not contribute to the economy and puts local shops and jobs at risk.
– The products are most likely not covered by any warranty, so money and time are wasted on replacements in the long term.

At innermost we want to continue to protect the IP rights of our designers and keep supporting creativity. If you are in doubt about the authenticity of a product for sale please let us know, we would be happier to offer you a discount for a genuine innermost product than for you to risk buying a dangerous imitation.

Thanks for continuing to support Innermost and original design.

5 Bright Ideas On Using Chandelier Pendant Lights For Your Decor

If you are looking for new ideas for modern chandelier lights then let us inspire you with some alternative designs that will illuminate your interior. We offer a wide range of modern chandelier pendants that make a dramatic impact and will enhance your decor. Our modern designer lighting range uses the latest technology, so it can be integrated with your modern interior.

Facet-Nating Chandelier

This amazing chandelier creates a centerpiece for any space. It set the standard when it was devised by Tom Kirk for flatter format chandeliers, so this is a piece that will suit lower ceiling heights. It has since gone on to grace numerous interiors as the perfect centerpiece. Reflecting its surroundings via the hundreds of etched and folded strips at different angles around both its exterior and interior, the effect is like looking at glass or crystal until you get closer and realize it’s all perfectly polished metal. It is available as pendants of varying sizes and as a wall light in polished stainless steel, brass or bronze, giving you plenty of option if you want to integrate more pieces into the surrounding interior.

Go Bold With Panel

Try Panel for an exciting modern chandelier pendant. This multi-faceted chandelier uses both polished and matt surfaces, inspired by contemporary jewellery as well as architectural metal cladding. Designer, Steve Jones, layered a mix of finishes and forms to create this exciting chandelier with a contemporary feel. Panel reflects different sections of the interior it is placed in, so would make a great modern statement piece and something totally different from the usual traditional chandeliers.

Discover A Cluster

Use a cluster as a modern alternative to a chandelier in a hallway or above a dining table. Our multifunctional ceiling rose, Radiate, allow you to hang multiple pendants in a number of configurations. This means that options for a modern cluster chandelier are endless and you can achieve a dramatic designer lighting effect with a neat aesthetic that eliminates the needs for multiple ceiling roses. Radiate is compatible with all Innermost modern pendant lights and can be used with other designer fixtures.

Cluster Innermost Product

With Brixton Cluster The Options Are Endless

In the Spot Cluster, Brixton pendants are suspended around a circular disk. The clusters can be arranged in various patterns to give different design options. Arranged as a down-lit cluster chandelier, the cords themselves criss-cross to create decorative geometric patterns. This creates a truly modern chandelier effect and it can be tailored to the space that you have to fill.

Integrate Your Chandelier With Modern Lighting Control

Consider the ability to easily adjust, dim or monitor your chandelier lighting. By selecting fixtures that can use bluetooth control, you make the lighting fit the changing atmosphere and mood. Innermost products can be paired with Casambi, which has a simple user interface that anyone can operate, via tablets, iPhones or switches.

With each sponsor getting their own bar, we took our Kepler & Jeeves pendants to display at our picturesque Azure Bar on the beach front at Jumeirah Resort. As the sun set, the Kepler illuminated against the backdrop and poolside, while we entertained new friends with our ‘Gin Hoopla’!

With a floor banner oche we invited teams to throw the bowler hats to land on the Ginnermost bottle to ‘Win The Gin’. With 3 oche lines marked innermost, mostand outermost (for the brave ones), at increasing distances, o the central gin target.
