“Shining Stars. Looking for lavish lighting? Bring on the chandeliers, says Talib Choudhry. Rotterdam chandelier, £4,194 by Barovier & Toso, from Cameron Peters.” Sunday Times Style magazine, December 17th 2006.

Cameron Peters offers a wide range of chandeliers from manufacturers around the world. Peter Younie, managing director, has seen the trend move to contemporary chandeliers; ‘The vast number that we sell are contemporary and often site-specific. The most important thing about a glass chandelier is the refraction of light in the crystal- the effect crystal generates is far larger than any other material...A striking colour can make a contemporary chandelier out of a traditional design. Like the Amsterdam and the Rotterdam by Barovier & Toso...” Total Lighting, December 2006.

“During the nineties, interiors all over the UK were fitted with spoltlights set flush into ceilings. There are several reasons why these ubiquitous spotlights have now become passé and it’s time for people to think seriously about changing them...Now that we’ve left minimalism behind, the fashion in interiors has become more decorative, witty, colourful and full of texture and pattern. Portable [or fixed] floor, wall or ceiling mounted up-lighters are a great way to replace these spots. They can be moved around- even taken to one’s next house...” Peter Younie in Total Lighting, December 2006.
