First light

Marrying a love of classic materials with modern technology, new Copenhagenbased lighting brand Mernøe is a family affair for designer and engineer Morten Mernøe and his two sons. Their first design, the suitably named ‘No. 1’ light, displays all the elegant precision you’d expect from an engineer, with its seamless shade and tapered fitting. Choose from Sipo mahogany, Douglas fir, maple and ash for the shade, teamed with solid brass or aluminum. From approx £7,570 (mernoe.com).
