Designed by AS — Original Lighting, Designed in Melbourne

At About Space, design is more than aesthetics — it’s our language. Each “Designed by AS” piece is created right here in Melbourne by our in-house design team, whose collective passion for innovation, craftsmanship, and creative storytelling defines every curve, contour, and glow. Our design ethos is clear: forward-thinking yet timeless, functional yet artful. Every original design we produce is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship — where form and function dance together in perfect harmony.

The Spark of Inspiration

Every About Space design begins with a spark. Inspiration can strike anywhere — the dappled light through the Royal Botanic Gardens, the sleek geometry of Melbourne’s skyline, or the textural richness of raw materials like stone, brass, glass, and timber. Our design team thrives on this contrast between nature and urban life, crafting lighting that feels at once grounded and elevated, familiar yet unexpected.

Each concept begins as a hand-drawn sketch, evolving through prototyping and refinement until balance is achieved — a balance between illumination and design integrity. We believe that lighting should do more than illuminate; it should define mood, elevate architecture, and tell the story of a space.

Designed in Melbourne, Made for Life

Our in-house team designs every pendant, wall light, sconce, linear light, table lamp, floor lamp, and ceiling light with adaptability in mind. Melbourne’s ever-changing landscape — from its laneway creativity to its architectural precision — informs our approach to design. We create lighting that complements both residential and commercial interiors, offering customisable finishes, materials, and configurations to ensure every piece finds its perfect home.

Each design embodies the principles of Australian ingenuity: durability, sustainability, and artistry. From hand-finished metalwork to precision-moulded glass, our team oversees every stage of the design process to ensure lasting quality and originality.

Where Form Meets Function

At About Space, we see lighting as sculpture — functional art that transforms the everyday. Whether it’s a statement pendant above a dining table, a minimalist wall light accenting a corridor, or a custom linear fixture designed for a workspace, each piece is engineered to balance performance with personality.

Our designs are not bound by trend; they are designed to endure. This philosophy ensures that every “Designed by AS” light feels relevant today and remarkable for years to come.

A Collection That Grows With Vision

As our creative team continues to explore new materials, technologies, and techniques, the “Designed by AS” collection evolves. From bold architectural profiles to delicate glass forms, our range celebrates diversity in design and purpose.
