MY LIGHTING DESIGNS ARE INSPIRED BY MY DEEP IMMERSION IN NEW ZEALAND’S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

Portland series


We recently had the pleasure of working with James and his team on a wonderful new light fitting to hang above our kitchen island. We are extremely pleased with the end result, the ‘Blade’ light fitting ties in with our existing kitchen and has elevated our lighting to a new level – functional and timeless with lovely clean lines.

Working with James and Anna was very easy, their eye for detail and getting everything just right (including the installation) was excellent. For truly inspired feature lighting I highly recommend James and his team.

The Portland Wharf lighting series fuses history with modern design. Made from 100-year-old Jarrah timber from the Whangarei Cement wharf, each piece narrates a tale of heritage and sustainability. This collection transforms repurposed timber into elegant lighting fixtures that exude warmth and character. The limited series highlights exquisite craftsmanship by blending past and present, with the wood's grain preserved through multiple coats of Danish oil for durability.
