Nautic collection

Nautic collection

Nautic's mains objective is to be there without wanting to be seen, not to be pushy, but honest, not striking, but stylish.

In short, as pure as the poetic sense of light.

For information on Tekna Lights and the Nautic Collection, please call our Design team on: +44 (0)845 2255 502 or email us at: design@unlistedlondon.com

The Nautic concept is to offer a complete collection of lighting fixtures in both indoor and exterior applications that meet the demands of today's requirements for high standards of quality all while evoking the timeless design sense of a more romantic past. Each authentic light fixture is hand-crafted out of pure materials such as bronze, copper, cast iron and brass.

Flemish husband and wife, Erik and Veronique Huysmans are the team behind Tekna, the production company behind the Nautic Lighting Collection

“The first question we asked ourselves in putting together this range of light fittings was: how do you create 'recognizable light'?” says Huysmans.

Their search for honest design led to an eclectic approach. Strong original ways of working and ancient forms with their timeless character were preserved, yet at the same time modified for contemporary use without forgetting the standards and demands of today regarding finishes and technical requirements.

We found our inspiration in the old trains and ships of a now long bygone age and searched for genuine craftsmanship at factories who would do things our way.”

The concept behind Nautic is to offer a solution in light without the 'fuss' around it. The result: styles that blend well-selected materials and organic shapes with the required functionality.

Tekna lighting

  • Tekna, based in the Netherlands, is the production company for, Erik and Veronique Huysmans’ Nautic Lighting Collection. Pure design aesthetics married with fit, form and functionality.

    “We simply wanted to create a recognizable and unpretentious object that just is what it's supposed to be: nothing more than what is required of it. …The obvious thing to do was choose simple functional products, in contrast to the mass of bright glitzy fittings and pastiche design so often seen in the street and private houses“
