Illuminati x Pavoni Leather at HIX: A New Chapter in Luxury Lighting & Material Craft

The Illuminati Lighting team are delighted and incredibly excited to be part of HIX this week @ Stand A74, where we unveil a bold new direction in materiality, craftsmanship and hospitality-driven lighting design. 

This year marks the beginning of a remarkable partnership between Illuminati Lighting and Pavoni Leather, bringing together two masters of European craft and design. 

The collaboration blends Illuminati’s bespoke lighting expertise with Pavoni’s world-renowned Italian leatherwork, resulting in a collection that speaks directly to today’s design community: one that values innovation, texture, authenticity and elevated material storytelling. The synergy between both brands is unmistakable;  refined craftsmanship, meticulous detailing, and an unwavering commitment to luxury. 

This new chapter introduces a rich dialogue between leather, alabaster, bronze and sculptural form, offering designers a suite of luminaires that feel artisanal, architectural, and timeless. 

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more as the collaboration continues to unfold throughout the next few months! 

Lighting That Shapes Hospitality Experiences In the world of hospitality, lighting is far more than illumination! It is a narrative tool. It shapes perception, influences emotion, and transforms spaces into journeys. Whether it’s a guest’s first step into a lobby, the ambience of a bar, or the intimacy of a private dining room, lighting defines the atmosphere. 

At Illuminati Lighting, we collaborate closely with designers, specifiers and architects to create bespoke lighting that elevates hospitality interiors into immersive, emotive experiences. Every piece is crafted to support the story of the space; its mood, rhythm, and identity.

A Comprehensive, Collaborative Bespoke Process 

With over 40 years of expertise, our bespoke service is designed to be collaborative, transparent and tailored to the needs of each project. 

Site Visits & Concept Development We begin with on-site consultations to understand measurements, spatial conditions, materials and the emotional intention of the design. From metal finishes to RAL colours, we explore every detail with you. 

Planning Through to Production Following the site visit, our team develops meticulous plans; from CAD drawings and renders to 3D previews, enabling you to present the concept confidently to your client. 

More Than a Product: A Partnership We support designers through every stage. Alongside creative development, we provide attractive trade pricing and presentation-ready information packs that integrate smoothly into your client-facing proposals. Your success is our success. 

Case Study: Amano Hotel, Covent Garden 

A standout example of Illuminati’s bespoke capability is our work on the Amano Hotel London, in collaboration with designer Michelle Frost (Access Art) and Jonathan Webber (Collect & Connect). From an active building site to final installation, our team designed and crafted: 

• 42 metres of meticulously polished gold ceiling plates suspended dramatically over the staircase
• A series of custom reception area luminaires positioned near the lifts
• A breathtaking installation of 350 hand-blown glass tubes, a cascade of ribbed and plain glass forms descending through a double-height void into the cocktail bar below

The result is an atmosphere that is sculptural, sophisticated and unforgettable. 

Let’s Create Something Extraordinary 

Whether you’re designing a boutique hotel, a hospitality flagship, a destination restaurant or a bespoke residential concept, Illuminati Lighting brings craftsmanship, creativity and technical expertise to every project. 

If you’d like to discuss your ideas or explore bespoke opportunities, our team would be delighted to support you.
