Carefully crafted using a mix of luxurious materials such as bronzed brass, powder coated back-plates and cast brass, the new collection has been designed by founder Jack Carrick and embodies minimalist luxury and contemporary style taking inspiration from Giacometti and Syrie Maugham. Available to purchase in bespoke designs, the lights are made with professional, artisan plaster and can be selected or entirely made-to-order.
Since the company’s inception in 2012, The Lamp Workshop has been firmly establishing its place as one of Britain’s most renowned companies for full restorations and repairs of antique, vintage lamps, and chandeliers. The company has since carried out a number of projects and bespoke creations for some of the country’s most sought-after interior designers, cementing itself as a premium supplier across London and the South East.
The family-run business is based in East Sussex, and consists of a highly-skilled but small guild of professional craftsmen, specialising in the restoration and creation of beautifully bespoke lamps and other unique objects of antique and contemporary origin.
Led by Jack Carrick, the founder works closely alongside his father and two brothers – who each have an equal passion for restoration and bespoke creation of high-end lamps and homeware.
“We’ve been working incredibly closely with some of the country’s best interior designers for some time now,” says Jack Carrick. “This has been invaluable for us as a business, and has helped us to understand the quality of lamps and other homeware items which are increasingly valuable and sought after. This, combined with our expertise in the restoration and creation of such items, has led us to launch our very own collection of premium plaster lights. It’s something we’re very excited about.”
“Using high-quality materials combined with intricate metal-work, the designs consist of ceiling lampshades, wall lights, and even light installations. Every lamp can be made-to-order where needed, whether it’s taking inspiration from our latest plaster collection, or from somewhere else.”
The Lamp Workshop’s complementary skills allows the team to provide a service that always goes above and beyond for their clients, whether someone is looking to restore a precious antique chandelier to its former glory, purchase from their new collection, or simply repair a lamp or lighting fixture for a new design project. The team is capable of managing both bespoke projects both large and small.
The Lamp Workshop has also worked closely with Sotheby’s Auction House to repair and rewire highly valuable lamps and chandeliers for their clients, securing their reputation as the premier chandelier rewiring specialist in London.
“We are experts in the repair and sympathetic restoration and rewiring of antique chandeliers and lamps, and all of our work is undertaken at our professionally equipped workshops in the rolling Sussex countryside,” says Jack Carrick.
“Our latest plaster lighting collection is a fine example of our more contemporary work. Taking inspiration from the intricate projects we have carried out for larger brands and individuals, the collection is perfect for kitchens, bedside lighting, cabinets and grand entrances.”
Although based in East Sussex, The Lamp Workshop can undertake on-site projects in other areas of the UK, too, such as Kent, Surrey and London.
“We understand the challenges of managing both large or small interior design projects, and it certainly is no mean feat. When purchasing a collection from The Lamp Workshop or working alongside the team, we always take the time to understand your design needs – making the process easy, simple and seamless. Going above and beyond is at the heart of what we do. You could say that it’s part of our DNA.”
The Lamp Workshop’s newest collection of high-end plaster lights are now available to order via telephone or online, here: https://thelampworkshop.co.uk/.

- Vaulta & Fosun Partner to Power Hong Kong’s Blockchain Backbone
- Transforming Online Gaming: Blockchain’s Next Frontier
- Credit Unions Embrace Blockchain for Trustworthy Financial Services
This op-ed–style roundup delivers concise yet insightful coverage, critical analysis, and expert opinion on each development’s relevance within the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem.
1. FT Analysis: Crypto Regulation and Institutional Adoption
Overview. The Financial Times reports on evolving global regulatory landscapes and their impact on institutional cryptocurrency adoption. FT highlights how major funds and asset managers navigate compliance frameworks in the US, EU, and Asia to integrate digital assets into traditional portfolios.
Source: Financial Times
Detailed Analysis. As regulators across jurisdictions craft tailored guidelines—from MiCA in Europe to the SEC’s evolving crypto classifications in the US—institutions face a balancing act between innovation and compliance:
- MiCA’s Market Integrity Measures: New EU rules mandate clear disclosures for stablecoin issuers and exchange operators, raising the bar for consumer protection.
- SEC’s Custody Interpretations: Emerging guidance on digital asset custody models, including qualified custodians versus self-custody frameworks.
- Asia’s Sandbox Approaches: Hong Kong and Singapore expand sandbox programs, offering controlled environments for DeFi and tokenization trials.
Opinion. Regulatory clarity is the linchpin for institutional inflows. While stringent frameworks may seem burdensome, they ultimately foster market confidence and prevent systemic risks. Asset managers should proactively engage with policymakers, leveraging sandbox insights to shape pragmatic, innovation-friendly regulations.
2. Signing Day Sports Seals Deal with Blockchain Digital Infrastructure
Overview. According to TradingView’s Reuters feed, Signing Day Sports has executed a definitive agreement to acquire Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, a profitable data-hosting specialist serving DeFi and NFT platforms.

Detailed Analysis. The acquisition underscores the rising value of specialized blockchain infrastructure:
- Scalable Data Nodes: Blockchain Digital Infrastructure operates 150+ high-throughput nodes, ensuring low-latency data delivery for real-time sports NFT drops.
- Profitability Metrics: The company reported $32 million in EBITDA last fiscal year, highlighting sustainable revenue in a niche market.
- Strategic Synergies: Signing Day Sports plans to integrate hosted nodes into its upcoming sports collectibles marketplace, guaranteeing seamless token minting during high-traffic events.
Opinion. In Web3, infrastructure is the invisible backbone. For NFT marketplaces and DeFi protocols, node reliability and data throughput directly impact user experience—and ultimately, revenue. This move positions Signing Day Sports to compete at scale, setting a precedent for vertical integration in blockchain hosting.
3. Vaulta & Fosun Partner to Power Hong Kong’s Blockchain Backbone
Overview. Coindesk reports that Vaulta, a leading digital asset platform, is teaming up with Fosun International to develop blockchain infrastructure for Hong Kong’s emerging crypto hub.

Detailed Analysis. The collaboration aims to build secure, high-performance rails for trading, custody, and tokenization:
- Layer-1 Interoperability: Joint development of a cross-chain protocol connecting Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and local DLT frameworks.
- Institutional Custody Solutions: Licensed trust entities under Fosun’s umbrella will offer insured cold-storage services for professional investors.
- Regulatory Cooperation: Partnership includes a liaison with the Hong Kong SFC to ensure compliance with the new Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP) regime.
Opinion. Asia remains a hotbed for blockchain innovation, but regulatory fragmentation poses hurdles. Vaulta’s alliance with Fosun exemplifies public-private synergy—combining local market expertise, financial strength, and technical know-how to anchor the city’s digital asset ambitions.
4. Transforming Online Gaming: Blockchain’s Next Frontier
Overview. TronWeekly examines how blockchain technologies—especially NFTs and decentralized marketplaces—are redefining online gaming economies.

- Decentralized Marketplaces: Platforms such as Enjin and Immutable X offer gas-free trading environments for in-game items, enhancing liquidity.
- Cross-Game Asset Portability: Standards like ERC-1155 enable items to move seamlessly between compatible titles, fostering interoperability.
Opinion. Gaming is blockchain’s killer app. Beyond speculative hype, tokenization can democratize game economies, allowing genuine ownership and secondary markets. Developers must, however, tackle scalability and user onboarding frictions—layer-2 solutions and intuitive wallets are essential for mass adoption.
5. Credit Unions Embrace Blockchain for Trustworthy Financial Services
Overview. AP’s business coverage highlights several US credit unions piloting blockchain-based platforms to enhance transaction transparency, reduce settlement times, and cut cross-border remittance fees.

Detailed Analysis. Examples of credit union blockchain pilots:
- Consortium-Led DLT: A consortium of midwestern credit unions uses a permissioned Hyperledger Fabric network to settle inter-credit-union payments in near real-time.
- Remittance Solutions: Deployment of Stellar-based rails reduces remittance costs by up to 60%, benefiting diaspora communities.
- Member Identity Management: Verifiable credential systems streamline KYC processes, reducing onboarding time from days to hours.
Opinion. As community-focused institutions, credit unions can leverage blockchain to reassert their value proposition—offering cost-effective, transparent services that rival large banks and fintechs. Success will hinge on member education and seamless integration with legacy core banking systems.
