Cox London

Cox London

This one is about the magnificent chaos in the designs of Cox London. Their style is a bit different from the pared back smoothness we often see in modern homes. Cox London pieces are a cleaner's nightmare, so detailed and textured, often resembling something pulled up from the bottom of the ocean. They capture nature and cast it in bronze to hang inside your home.

If you were to scroll through the website, you might not understand the appeal. The way the products are displayed is not really to my taste, despite being beautiful. Some of the larger pieces look like something you would find in an extremely expensive and tasteless hotel lobby. All this considered, you cannot help but love the leafy chandeliers and sconces. And the more I have browsed the products, the more I have fallen for them. I came across the brand through a content creator and online person called Lydia Millen, who mentioned the Cox London chandeliers.

The pieces are so sculptural that they seem to require muted backgrounds and gallery-like spaciousness. The complexity could clutter up a room. However, these pieces are so delicate and whimsical that they feel precious. It might not be groundbreaking to have copied an oak branch and made it into a light fixture, but they are so well done; the leaves seem to be blowing in a breeze. While their lighting stands out the most, they make a variety of products and here are some of my favourites:
