With
outdoor living becoming very much in vogue and the garden now
designed and used as an extension of the house, Innermost, the innovative
product design company which specialises in lighting and homewares,
has launched two distinctive garden lights by leading international
designers to add light and drama to gardens in Summer 2008.
Re-launched last year on the 10th Anniversary of the design,
Stick Light by Hong-Kong based designer Michael
Young, is a
striking rod of light which can be placed in its own purpose-built
stand or left leaning or lying alongside pools, walls, trees,
or amongst shrubs and flowerbeds to create a dramatic glow.
Turkish-born, Paris-based designer Koray
Ozgen, has come up
with a facetted rock-shaped light for low level use.
Stick Light has already been snapped up by award-winning landscaper
and garden designer Andy Sturgeon for his Contemporary Woodland
Garden at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea
Flower Show 2008 sponsored by Cancer
Research UK. The seven Stick
Lights will be clustered on the patio areas and lit at dusk
to create a stunning display where modern design will fuse
with stylish landscaping and beautiful planting to create a
magical outdoor space.
The array of Stick Lights will create a striking display at
Chelsea Flower Show. ‘Green fingers meet ‘green’ ethics
in this garden,’ explains Russell Cameron, co-founder
of Innermost. ‘There’s a great synergy with Andy
Sturgeon’s overall design for this garden as almost every
element will be either re-cycled or else re-used. With its
low energy bulbs, Stick Light is just as ‘green’.’
