The Coco Pendant light.

The Coco Flip design studio creates a range of lighting and furniture products, and works with different local craftspeople and manufacturers to bring them to reality, with the highest standards of construction. Charles Sandford plays a role in the production of the Coco Pendant light. The part that we make – a turned piece of Victorian ash timber – combines with a powdercoated aluminium shade to produce what the designers describe quite aptly as being "like a beautiful, heavy yo-yo at the end of its string."

The lights are made to order, and can be specified with natural or dark oil to the timber component, and with the shade in off-white, matt white or matt black. We don't know which combination is our favourite, but we do know that it's a great pleasure to work with local designers to make something unique, handcrafted and beautiful.
