\"Tyson<\/a><\/p>\n

Being in love with what we do is always the key to achieve better results. Are these 50 years of experience in the world of lighting the result of a passionate work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last 3 generations of family have always been involved in the lighting industry, I expect the next 3 generations after me and beyond to also.\u00a0We don\u2019t just love the delivery of light into the venues and homes we design and supply but embrace all we meet along the way.\u00a0Both the scientific and artistic appeal of lighting and how we can transform the lives of our clients by sympathetic and sometimes outrageous specifications is what keeps us motivated.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite project or a favorite story behind one of your projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously every project is important irrespective of scale but a particular highlight was a light art installation \u2018Heavy Petal\u2019 which I designed with Vinny Smith was particularly personally satisfying. We fabricated Raleigh BMX frames together to form\u00a0 an X wing fighter from Star Wars, Light tubes to create lazer guns \u2013 visually it was amazing. To be recognized and lauded by International Technology magazine WIRED was high praise, but the real satisfaction came from hearing my Mothers reaction to them being on display in a Manchester sky scraper Atrium.<\/p>\n

How important is a good chemistry between you and your clients to achieve better results?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good chemistry is paramount as the creative juices flow between partners but also as the design process requires anticipation of each others expectations.\u00a0Its like any relationship \u2013 honesty, transparency and love make up the focus but the ability to engage reverse gear should we be on the wrong page is essential to keeping our visions aligned.<\/p>\n

Keeping the essence of traditional and bespoke techniques, is one important aspect that makes Tyson Lighting stand out. However, to conquer such a demanding audience, is truly important to be informed about the latest trends on the field. How do you do this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working with dynamic suppliers like Boca Do Lobo where design isn\u2019t particularly driven by fashion but by a literature of its own, is critical. Giving our clients the best options for their projects is where we need a good variety of trusted partners. We really succeed in our market by being able to tailor specifically to our own vision by having an in house design and manufacturing capacity. Visually our projects speak for themselves but our quality is celebrated by the repeat business we receive.<\/p>\n

Choosing the right lighting piece for a certain space might seem an easy task. However, it takes a lot of time and attention to find the perfect option, in terms of design and functionality. Which\u00a0advises\u00a0you have for those who do not know how to start a\u00a0challenge like this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t risk it, call the professionals and we will use our wealth of experience to getting it just right. Its called a niche for a reason, if it was easy everyone would be doing it, and they aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The Clubhouse, in Liverpool, is one of our favorite projects. This imaginative, Hamptons inspired project embodies two incredible design pieces \u2013 The Crystal Glass Chandelier<\/em> and The Balloon<\/em>. Where did you draw your inspiration from for these two pieces?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The inspiration came from our client Paul Danson who comes from a background in Stage and screen set design, easy to see how his dramatic influence are still evident in his creativity. An eccentric client with a thirst for making a difference make Paul a pleasure to be around and to challenge our internal designers to industrialize his vision.<\/p>\n
