skinflint x Bert & May London pop-ups
skinflint is continuing to pop-up in London until the end of 2018 with a lighting showcase in collaboration with London-based homeware and interior design studio Bert & May.
To celebrate, we've curated a special and exclusive collection of reclaimed lighting available via the Bert & May website and in store at their flagship Vyner Street showroom in Bethnal Green and the boutique Chelsea store.
The collaboration is a perfect match between our like-minded aesthetic for reclaimed finds, timeless design and the fascinating heritage of our vintage lighting range.
Our lighting experts will also be at Bert & May’s Vyner Street store from 2pm-5pm on Monday 17 September answering all of your vintage lighting conundrums.
Complementing the Bert & May aesthetic, a curated selection of lighting with unique industrial heritage will be available to view and purchase, including one-off pieces, exclusives and larger runs of original vintage pendant, floor and bulkhead lights. Read more about the collaboration and an interview with Bert & May founder Lee Thornley here.
Committed to exceptional materials and fine craftsmanship, the Bert & May name is synonymous with a raw yet refined aesthetic that underpins the entire collection. Keeping true to these principles the brand has become the go-to specialist supplier of handmade Spanish tiles, engineered wood and natural paints, as well as artisan-made bathroom fittings and architect-designed kitchens. At skinflint we've loved their work for many years, so the collaboration is a natural fit.
The lights - many of them unique - include classic 1950s racing-green enamelled pendants manufactured by iconic British brands, elegant Czech opaline glass pendants, and restored 1950s German railway signal floor lamps salvaged from a station outside of Berlin.
Don't forget, the pop-ups will be running alongside our showcase at Decorex International 16-19 September where we’ll be exclusively launching our AW18 Collection of vintage fluorescent lights alongside a selection of new and best-selling pieces.
We hope to see you there!
Visit the skinflint x Bert & May pop-ups at 67 Vyner Street, London, E2 9DQ and 48 Lots Road, Chelsea, London SW10 0QD from Friday 17 August until the end of the year.
Meet the skinflint lighting experts - happening at the Vyner Street store on Monday 17 September between 2pm-5pm.
