A sculptural centrepiece in solid metal

The Buster + Punch Forked Ceiling Light is a statement in restraint and weight. A hand-spun metal shade sits beneath the brand's signature cast forked detailing, drawing the eye upward to a fixture that feels engineered rather than merely decorated. Supplied complete with a dimmable, Forked-specific Buster Bulb, it throws a soft, ambient wash of light that flatters a room at every level of the dimmer. This is the large shade format — the most generous in the range, and the natural choice where a ceiling deserves a single, confident focal point.

Design details

Every Forked fixture begins as solid metal that is machined, hand-spun and cast, then refined by hand. The diamond-cut linear knurling running through the collar is Buster + Punch's calling card: a tactile, precision-milled texture more usually found on a firearm or a fine watch than a light fitting. The forked stem grips the shade with a deliberate, industrial honesty, and the proportions have been drawn so the piece reads as sculpture when unlit and as a warm, low-glare glow when switched on.

Materials

Solid metal throughout — brass, steel and aluminium components, spun and cast rather than pressed. There is real mass here; these are fittings you feel the quality of the moment you lift them. Each shade is finished individually, so no two carry exactly the same hand.

Finish information

Choose from four hand-applied finishes, each with its own character:

• Brass — warm, golden and softly reflective; develops a living patina over time.
• Steel — cool, architectural and understated; a natural partner to stone and pale timber.
• Gun Metal — deep graphite-grey with a muted sheen; quietly dramatic against darker schemes.
• Burnt Steel — a smoked, heat-treated finish with depth and movement; each piece unique.

Suitable applications

Designed for the spaces a room is planned around. The Forked Ceiling Light suits living rooms, dining rooms, entrance halls and stairwells, and comes into its own in hospitality settings — hotel lobbies, restaurants, members' clubs and boutique receptions — where a single, well-made fitting has to carry the ceiling. Equally at home over a kitchen island or a console in a high-end residential scheme.

Why we love it

Because it is honest. Nothing about the Forked Ceiling Light is applied or superficial — the texture is milled into the metal, the weight is real, and the light it gives is genuinely lovely. It is the kind of piece a designer specifies once and returns to again and again.
