L A A L — ABOUT

brother and sister

During an afternoon back in 2017, we vividly remember scribbling on a shared piece of paper - bonding multiple cones via a string of arches after finding inspiration in what we thought to be the perfectly proportioned cone. These minimal forms, which inspired our first lighting series, began our joint adventure into lighting and into L A A L.

To this day we still design together on a shared piece of paper.

Language

We know how important lighting is in bringing a space together. Within each LAAL lighting collection we offer multiple configurations at differing scales. These options offer the freedom to select individual pieces, whilst simultaneously achieving a cohesive language throughout a project. So whilst each fixture is unique solo, together they will all light in symphony. All of our pieces can also be interchanged - we use the same finish across each collection and a number of the same components. This allows a connection not just within collections but across them.

Form

Simple yet sculptural - we endeavor to create expressive lighting that lifts its surroundings seamlessly. Starting with a 2d sketch on paper, we keep things simple from process to finished product. We find beauty in the distilled, and with simplicity comes the ability to produce a bold form without an obviously complex aesthetic.

monochrome

Having simplicity at the centre of our design ethos has also informed our decision to stand by a monochrome palette. While we once offered an array of colour, black and white were almost always selected. So, in our new era, LAAL products can be finished in a black or white powdercoat that is matte with a very fine render. Used solo or united - this palette is unassuming, and both tie in timelessly with interiors.

local

Our products are made with with healthy finishes, designed to last. Making sure each product is interchangeable means less waste and a longer life. We work with local Victorian manufacturers, all within an approx 40km radius of where we design - and we’re making sure every product is able to be recycled when it comes to the end of its lighting life.

From product to packaging, it’s our mission to leave a big impact without a huge footprint. We aim to always be looking for smarter ways to be better for the environment.
