Launching January: Tom Raffield’s Stunning Shoal Lighting Collection

Set to launch on the 17th of January, the Shoal Lighting Range from Tom Raffield includes a sculptural pendant, chandelier, and floor light, all designed to evoke a sense of serenity and unity, inspired by the graceful, fluid motion of schools of fish swimming together.

Drawing inspiration from the interwoven textures and smooth, flowing forms found beneath the surface of the ocean, the Shoal Lighting Range is a masterful fusion of artistry and functionality. Each piece is carefully crafted using sustainably sourced woods, twisted and looped to create a unique, calming aesthetic for any home. With its bold display of light and shadow, the Shoal Lighting Range offers a dynamic visual impact that transforms living spaces into tranquil sanctuaries.

“As we enter a new year, the Shoal lighting designs are intended to bring a sense of calm and connection within the home. Each piece has been thoughtfully designed and handcrafted to mirror the flowing, interconnected motion of nature, creating a peaceful, balanced atmosphere.”
