Our Team
We work internationally on commission work, public art and licensed designs. Our business is comprised of two distinct yet congruous areas: production which manufactures the stock lights & furniture, and the design studio.
Driven by a strong environmentally conscious philosophy we work developing ideas and artistic design pieces for an international client base.
