Retro Lighting – Back to the Future!

Retro lighting is all about using trends and styles from the past to create new light fittings that are fun and funky with a certain nostalgic charm and character. Every so often old designs seem to come back into fashion and so it is today with retro lighting. Whilst the term retro could be used to describe almost any period it is more commonly used to cover the 3 decades – 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s. From the post war 1950’s with rock and roll and American diners to the psychedelic 1960’s with groovy designs and fashions to the 1970’s pop culture with flared trousers and platform soles. As the saying goes ‘if you can remember anything about the sixties you weren’t really there’, but either way you can still take inspiration from Bespoke Lights retro style lighting. We are finding that many restaurants, bars and hotels are taking a trip down memory lane and sourcing modern retro inspired lighting for their interiors.
