ABOUT US

A sustainably led design studio - beautiful products for a beautiful world.

HOW WE WORK

Depending on your needs and project we can offer a bespoke, tailored service to suit.
We're strong believers that materials and structure make great aesthetics, letting simple yet efficient design and the purity of elements create our unique solutions. Emotion also plays a big part in how we create, we want our designs to create emotional memories, not just visual ones. 

OUR PROCESS

It all starts with understanding the problem, thorough research and analysis, understanding the constraints and needs of the product and what will set it apart. From then the ideas happen - sketches, form, materials develop, all guided with a foresight of efficient manufacture, sustainability and commercial viability.

HISTORY

I originally started Luminair in 2005 following a career as an industrial product design engineer to take on more diverse work in product and architectural design fields along with a sustainable tenet. Over the past 20 years I've honed skills and knowledge in commercial and consumer product design and specialised in small space architectural projects to bring together a unique range of skills and creative edge to my work.

SERVICES

Phased as required including ideation & conceptual image generation, market & competitor analysis, mechanical and electronic design and engineering, advanced CAD & FEA, design for manufacture, design for sustainability, prototyping and manufacturing support. We derive cost-effective solutions that can be developed as quickly, efficiently and sustainably as possible.

  • Architectural Design

    Small space, sustainable architecture is our specialty, whether it be suspended in the trees or tightly nestled in a residential street. We strive to create unique, emotional and creatively engineered spaces to live, relax and work in.  We hold a deep respect for the environment and how spaces work within them while pushing the creative and engineering boundaries to create amazing places. We can design, build and install with easily deployable, modular engineered solutions that whether it’s a home studio for your own use or a unique guest escape that will stand out from the crowd we guarantee truly amazing creations.

  • Small Batch

    As well as creating products and spaces for our clients we love to make too. Ideas spill out and some stand the test to be made which can take the form of whatever excites us at the time. Craft will be a main focus, carpentry, metalwork, turning and sewing realised in modern forms based on traditional techniques. We feel making is an important part of our work, that gives us chance to experiment and feeds back into our core design work. Small batches our offered from our online shop.
