In the lead up to Christmas everything seems to speed up, time flashes before us in a blur of supplier cut off dates, last minute orders, and Pre-Christmas installations. So here at Stella Mannering & Company a little period of quiet is more than welcome, some much needed time to reflect is required - we need a moment to be still.
Who better to compel this period of calm than our favourite iconic lighting designers, Porta Romana with their latest collection, ‘Stillness’.
The palette is dark and moody, lifted with hints of polished brass. Light is diffused through elegant velvet and silk linen shades in tones of Pine, Smog and Nightshade. Forms are comforting - bold and strong silhouettes where architectural profiles compliment organic shapes. And the textures are an alluring blend of ceramic, stone and glass that all together achieve a beautiful balance and a serene quietness.
The luxury Porta Romana is known for is evident in each and every piece and the unique design and artisanal craftsmanship is impossible to overlook. In this time of fast paced chaos this captivating collection is all the excuse we need to slow down, take a breath and embrace the ‘Stillness’.
