Light Production

A Guide to Reimagine Consumerism

A sustainable, hands-on, and self-sufficient approach to lighting design, making it an educational tool, a design resource, and a movement for conscious consumption.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Empowerment Through Making

We believe design should be accessible, adaptable, and participatorynot confined to professionals or mass production. By providing a guide, we shift users from passive consumers to active creators, giving them the tools and knowledge to design their own solutions.  

 

Material Consciousness & Circularity

Waste is not an end but a beginning. Our approach embraces discarded materials, challenging the throwaway culture and reimagining what’s possible through reuse, repair, and reinvention.  

​

Flexible and Evolving Design

There is no single right way to create. Our guide is built on flexibility, allowing users to adapt designs based on available resources, skill levels, and personal needs.  

​

Sustainability Beyond Aesthetics

Design should not just look good, it should function responsibly. We integrate alternative energy sources, minimal waste principles, and long-term adaptability to ensure each creation is built to last, both physically and conceptually.  

 

In short, we design not just objects, but opportunities for creativity, self-sufficiency, and sustainability.
