Rustic
Rustic lighting is about honest materials that look better with age: weathered metal, rough timber, rope and seeded glass. It suits country homes, farmhouses and anyone who wants a room that feels lived in. Our range includes rust finish Calibo wall lights like the Becard, Bright and Eyrie, plus timber pendants and lamps from Telbix, CLA, Eglo and Cougar.
