About Us

Carl Mallory Over the last 8 years, the Italian Lighting Centre has firmly established itself as the shopping destination of discerning customers seeking to compliment their home with the best that Italian lighting can offer.

Just imagine: - your dining room decorated with sumptuous Italian crystal chandeliers, a hallway greeting you with a spectacular Murano glass chandelier, your kitchen illuminated with the very best in modern Italian lighting designs.

Right now you can choose from thousands of original "Made in Italy" products - And it doesn’t end there... your bespoke or dream light can come to life with us. We are proud to have worked with hundreds of clients on custom projects, from simple delicate Venetian chandeliers, to large architectural lighting installations, including complex Hotel chandeliers and clean angular modern lighting designs. This is thanks to our close relationship built over many years with Italian lighting designers and skilled lighting manufacturers.

You won’t find our products on the high street. We are proud to have sourced our knowledge and ranges through years of field work, by visiting all our manufacturers direct. Even today, we still have “our man in a van” collecting your beautiful lights from outside the factory gate every week- giving you the highest level of service.

We are proud to have collaborated with many prestigious companies and individuals over the years:-
Harrods (London), Harvey Nichols (London), Bravissimo (UK); Pizza Express (UK); Thomas Sabo (Germany); Jones Apparel (USA); Net-a-Porter; Meissen Jewellers (St.Moritz); Sonnental Hotel (Germany); The Goring Hotel (London); Alsterhaus (Hamburg); the Wyndham Grand Hotel (Chelsea Harbour); Aspers Casino (Swansea); St.Pancras Hotel (London), The Mercure Hotel (Bristol) to mention a few..

We have featured in many publications and programs such as :-
“60 minute makeover”; “Vogue Magazine”; “25 Beautiful Homes”; “The Mail on Sunday”; “Hollyoaks”

We also have a large showroom in Hamburg.

We hope that you too will find what you are looking for here, whether ‘off the shelf’ or custom made, and that you will trust us with your next project. We look forward to hearing from you!
