"Lighting is one of the most essential aspects of a home; it's also one of the most overlooked. The right illumination can create ambience, soften harsh edges, and imbue a sense of warmth. However, not all light sources are of the same quality. A custom chandelier, for instance, will always stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. These meticulously made creations can range from minimalist to monumental, bringing scale, ambition, and elegance into the room."
"Cox London 's creative process is rooted in artistry. Its co-founders, Chris and Nicola Cox, first connected over their shared love of sculpture, before ultimately founding their eponymous studio in 2005. Over the years, the brand has become well-known for its grand chandeliers made of brass, iron, or bronze - and welded entirely by hand. Most designs mirror the natural world, like Magnolia Grandiflora, which is composed of iron leaves and illuminated cotton blooms."
""The fastest way to get an idea out in the open is from head to hand," says Chris Cox. "If we don't put pencil or charcoal on paper, ideas will remain ideas, unlikely to come to fruition.""
Lighting profoundly shapes a home's ambience by softening edges and adding warmth, yet many homes overlook its importance. Custom chandeliers offer superior quality through meticulous, bespoke construction, varying from minimalist to monumental forms that introduce scale, ambition, and elegance. Established ateliers cultivate deep craftsmanship, with many artisans spending decades at a manufacturer to refine techniques in cut glass and sculpted bronze. Cox London exemplifies this approach: co-founders Chris and Nicola Cox translate a love of sculpture into hand-welded brass, iron, and bronze chandeliers often inspired by nature. Early charcoal and pencil studies help move ideas from concept to full-scale custom installations.
