In 2015 Emily Butterill established Glow Lighting, she wanted to design and manufacture traditional lighting with a contemporary twist. 

Emily had grown up surrounded by lights and lighting.  Her late father ran a successful British lighting manufacturing business. Her husband has his own commercial lighting company.   With over 20 years in the industry her knowledge of lumens, watts, light levels and the effect and impact they can make is extensive. 

Emily has harnessed traditional glass blowing and metal spinning techniques but brings with it a contemporary styling that suits present day interiors. The entire collection is designed by Emily, her grasp of colour and design enables her to bring out the intrinsic beauty of the materials, which are brought to life in 13 shades of exceptional quality glass. This unique lighting can be hung in singles or clusters

Making all the lights by hand means every element is fully customisable. Emily can offer a choice in size and colour of glass, metal finish plus cable length and colour. This enables Glow Lighting to manufacture traditional lighting that is truly individual.

The curvaceous screen is created from a seamless span of 8mm glass, and is the perfect way to introduce the essence of a boutique hotel into a bijoux bathroom.   The continuous single flowing curve can be used with a shower tray or is equally suitable for wet rooms.

Glamorous Finishing Touches

Sleek and smooth, the curved shower screen is available in clear or grey glass. Additional touches of glamour can be added by using one of AQATA’s alternative finishes.

The bathroom of the future. Created by sieger design for Duravit, the Viu and XViu series is a completely new concept in bathroom design.    It combines the durability of ceramics with the elegance and precision of aluminium.  

The dynamic V-shape profile of the supporting console is a key feature, which can be seen on free-standing  vanity units and the bathtub surround. The design creates an almost optical illusion. It is strong and definite from one angle, yet move a little and they appear to have transformed into fine lines that all but disappear.

Textures and Surfaces

This illusion is further enhanced by the choice of textures and surfaces available.  Only the finest ceramics, glass and metal, combined with matt lacquers or high-quality woods have been used. All combine to create this new range which encompasses the entire bathroom.

The Highlight – Washing Area

The highlight is a washing area that incorporates Duravit’s patented c-bonded technology.  The supporting metal console with its dynamic V-shape profile is available in Champagne Matt or avant garde Black Matt; its exterior forms a strict rectangle, whilst the interior curves organically to create a spacious basin that is surrounded by a generous shelf area.  The underside of the basin is elegantly covered by acrylic panelling.  A discreet design feature this conceals  the fixing structure, cables and connecting hoses. It ensuring that the elaborate technology for the D.1e electronic tap, does not impact the design.

Freestanding Bathtubs

Another key element of the series is the free-standing bathtub.  The prominent metal frame with the signature V-shaped profile in Champagne Matt or Black Matt provides a distinctive contrast to the high-gloss white acrylic and creates an eye-catching centrepiece.

The XViu bathroom programme can be adapted to suit an individual style;  available in 34 finishes it combines well with a number of Duravit’s other ceramic series.
