Society Cafe, Bristol, UK
Photography: James King
Society is now 15 years into its coffee journey with six coffee shops in the South West, and Trainspotters is proud to have supplied lighting for their Baldwin Street, Bristol and Cheltenham branches.
Lighting the counters
The owners chose the clean lines of the DDR Strip Light in a polished finish for these two locations, as functional and striking lighting over their coffee and food counters, alongside a series of clear glass Test Tube Pendant lights that feature in the windows over seating.
The DDR light is based on a robust communist era design and is exclusive to Trainspotters. Each component is entirely bespoke, produced to the highest standard to ensure the design stays as authentic to the original as possible but includes modern upgrades such as a dimmable – and again bespoke – LED T8 bulb that emits a full 320 degree array of light.
The Glass & Ceramic range
Additional classic remakes were chosen from the simplistic and minimal Glass & Ceramic range, which includes shapes like cones, globes, test tubes and mushrooms. These affordable, compact lights lend themselves perfectly to applications where large runs of lights are required, and they can be complemented with matching wall and flush mount options from the same range.
