Sill Lighting

Projectors from Sill Lighting have provided a stunning lighting solution for Kingston Bridge that is sensitive to both architecture and river users. Sill's 495, 490 and 491 series projectors are mounted on short columns near to the riverbank at each end of the bridge, painting the bridge with a subtle wash of blue light achieved using bonded-in blue glass filters.

Columbo Design

The Italian-based Colombo Design has been producing design-oriented door handles since 1990. Ice is the work of Bartoli Design, and combines the scope offered by plastic for the creation of a playful and 'light' object that is warm to the touch with the security of traditional handles, due to the stainless steel insert that also makes it suitable for use in the area of contract furnishing.

Rationel

The regeneration of the 1960s-built Oakridge Central Housing Estate has included a large selection of Rationel's Domus timber windows and doors. These stain-finished units were chosen by the Oakfern Housing Association for inherent flexibility of design and ability to meet the demands of social housing as well as for the excellent presentation and visual qualities.
