Aptly named after the brightest star in the night sky, the Danish brand Sirius specialise in contemporary and elegant electric lighting for in the home and outdoors. As you would expect from a Scandinavian brand, nothing is over-stated or unnecessarily dramatic, instead simple, considered design is king. It’s been a long time since fairy lights were confined to the Christmas period, and with Sirius’ attractive range of strings to choose from, you’ll find plenty of excuse to make a feature of them all year long. Tumble a ball of them into an unused fireplace or a glass mason jar for instant effect, or wrap some around a houseplant for a cosy evening ambience. The Sirius range also includes battery-powered candles, with pillar candles for the bathroom, mantelpiece or bedroom, and tall, tapered options for an impressive dinner table display.
