We are Ark Lighting
We are lighting designers and suppliers, dedicated to showing brands in the best light.
We’ve been illuminating spaces for over 30 years. We understand the power lighting can have on an experience, space and human behaviour. Our team are obsessed with finding the perfect lighting solution for our clients. We get excited about the technical, finding the latest innovation and bringing to life a design brief and vision through lighting.
Our team is hands-on, collaborating with our suppliers, designers, architects, store fitters and brands, to design, problem-solve and bring ideas to life. Deep care is taken in our work from concept, implementation and all the way through to well after a project is delivered.
Importantly, at the heart of our reason for being, is to have a positive impact on the world through sustainable design and ways of working - we are currently an aspiring B Corp. We are grateful to our clients, from boutique emerging businesses to leading global brands, for trusting us to realise the full potential of lighting.
If you can dream it, we can light it.
