Innermost Lighting: The Last Pieces from London's Innermost

Innermost was born in London in 1999, when designers Steve Jones and Russell Cameron left design consultancy to build a lighting and furniture brand of their own, starting out in an old lighting factory in Wembley. They worked with designers from around the world who had made London their home, and set out to be as British as the city itself: classic English tradition crossed with a rebellious, witty streak. Concept, quality and wit were the house rules.

Innermost has since closed. What you see here is the remaining new stock in the US: pieces by James Bartlett, Tom Kirk, Jake Phipps, Stone Designs, Flynn Talbot, Freshwest, YOY and Steve Jones himself. When a finish sells out, it will not come back.
