Histoires NEOZ
Across Rocco Forte Hotels, lighting plays a supporting role, shaping atmosphere without drawing attention to itself. Guided by Olga Polizzi’s place-led design philosophy, each property begins with its setting and pares back to its essence.
Albert and Ritz NEOZ cordless lamps appear across Rocco Forte’s bars, dining rooms, and lounges from London to Florence, Munich, and Sicily, where they respond to varied architectural languages while maintaining the same intent: warmth, restraint, and ease within the space.

Carbone Riviera has opened at the Bellagio, and together with Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, we created a bespoke cordless Victoria lamp to suit its Riviera-inspired interior. The project called for a precise custom surface finish and bespoke lampshade for one of Las Vegas’s most anticipated openings.
A reimagined classic within Brisbane’s cultural heart, Lyrebird at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) pairs the theatre of dining with the poise of design. Recently refreshed with a new look and menu, the restaurant once again stands as one of Brisbane’s most refined pre-performance destinations.
Amid a defining era of growth at NEOZ, Tammy helped shape the brand’s creative direction — from co-developing the now-iconic Cooee collection with Peter Ellis to playing a part in the introduction of the groundbreaking V4.5 system. The Cooee lamps, simple yet unmistakably NEOZ, became a hallmark of that evolution. We spoke with Tammy about those formative years, the creation of the Cooee range, and what she has carried forward since.
For nearly a century, Bathers’ Pavilion has been a Sydney icon—where heritage meets coastal elegance. Earlier this year, the landmark played host to the acclaimed L’Enclume residency, illuminated by NEOZ lamps that shaped a dining experience worthy of its three Michelin stars. In conversation with General Manager Tom Sykes, we explore what makes Bathers’ so enduring—from its breathtaking views and refined cuisine to the carefully crafted atmosphere that makes every visit unforgettable.
The Big Group, one of Australia’s leading event companies, is renowned for transforming spaces with creativity and precision. At Sydney’s MCA Foundation Hall, they chose the NEOZ Elizabeth cordless lamp to complement the venue’s elegant Art Deco interiors. The lamp’s warm brass finish and soft illumination enhance the hall’s heritage charm, creating an atmosphere that’s both grand and intimate.

At the recent London Design Festival, Corner Light made its debut—not just as a reveal, but as a hands-on experience. Visitors could hold the cordless lamp, turn it over, and watch its candle-like glow transform the space.
We spoke with designers Fabio Cristini and Darran Prior of London studio There’s Light, who partnered with NEOZ to create their first product. They shared how the idea began at Tate Modern’s Corner Bar, how collaboration shaped the design, and why longevity and honesty remain central to their philosophy.
