vega
This collection is about space and astronomy, but it is about more than just stars and planets; it is a scrapbook of human discovery; the early ideas of space that bewitched our ancestors with its greatness through to the discoveries allowed by modern day technological advances. The same view of the heavens has been observed by human eyes for centuries gone by and although we now understand more, the quietening vastness of space has an unchanged spellbinding power. Vega is a celebration of all that surrounds us and its hypnotic effect. The collection’s creation desires the same impact- bringing this concept indoors and enveloping you in tranquillity and quiet with timeless looks that do not answer to fashion.

reflect - mirrors
Mirrors are hypnotic, elegant, and mysterious, fascinating humankind since time immemorial. They retain their ability to hold our attention, much like a beautiful chandelier or a delicate piece of glass. Mirrors also perform an extraordinary feat with their ability to create new dimensions and the illusion of space. As an obvious progression for Bella Figura, they decided to take some of their most sought-after products and create reflective counterparts, bringing you Bella Figura’s first collection of unique mirrors.
james hare
moonlight
The undeniable romance of the moonlight is the seed from which this collection grew. The light of the Moon carries an ethereal beauty and sense of mystery, an impression of this has been recreated by focusing on frosted glass and gentle swirling glass textures which evoke the meditative calm and enchanting character of this celestial body. Moonlight embraces the spirit and energy of the much-treasured composition ‘Clair de Lune’ by French composer Claude Debussy, which in turn embodies poetic references of the still moonlight; sad and lovely. While the collection is in many ways a pastiche of different elements of various artistic outlets, it remains true to the Bella Figura signature style, highly finished metal work with hand-made glass elements and luxurious silk all designed and produced in England and Italy. Art Deco influences emerge throughout this collection which further complement the romanticism of the moonlit look, with reworked motifs and ideas from the era, bringing 1920’s style into the 2020’s and beyond.

halcyon
The journey of the Halcyon Collection begins with the tale of a Kingfisher bird, whose nest is perched on the edge of the sea. In ancient legend, the Halcyon bird is said to possess the ability to bring forces of nature under control, charming winds and waves to bring peace and tranquility to its nest. Born from the myth of this bird, the word Halcyon now conjures up thoughts of sanctuary, fond memories and space for reflection. Our attraction to water as a species is clear; its presence can quiet a noisy mind and bring a hypnotizing calm in its place. Water signifies a presence of nature and symbolizes a return to simpler times; its soothing existence is an answer to the desire for serenity to our busy lives. This collection of products explores the mesmerizing ways water makes its presence known; crashing waves and whirling vortexes are countered by the still, silent lagoons and the imprints left behind where water once flowed. Much like the fabled Halcyon bird who bewitched waters to create a restful, safe nest, this collection of products provides the power to create absolute serenity and peace within your home.

contour
The story of the Contour Collection begins with tall elongated curves, spun lines, monolithic structures, sweeping arcs, and delicate ribbon forms that the light fixtures take as they explore the bounds of shape and form. The elemental energies of earth, water, air and fire have all played a vital part in transforming the sketches, through the careful selection of the best and most uniquely talented craftsmen and women, who possess the utmost skill to see the metamorphosis of Bella Figura’s ideas turned into these objects of complete desire. We are immensely proud that the crafts old and new, which brought these products to life, have been discovered within the UK with the addition of a few select workshops in rural Italy.
