Manifesto

At Weplight, we believe that lighting is more than just a source of illumination—it's a way to shape experiences, create atmospheres, and connect with the spaces we inhabit. We are driven by a passion for design that is both beautiful and meaningful, merging craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovation in every piece we create.

We are committed to working with materials that matter. From sustainably sourced wood to natural acoustic felts, we carefully select each material not only for its visual appeal but also for its environmental impact. We strive for minimal waste, using recycled plastics for packaging and ensuring our manufacturing processes are as efficient and eco-conscious as possible.

We embrace the artistry of handmade products, where every detail counts. Each lamp is meticulously crafted, painted by hand with care, and designed to fit perfectly into our vision. We believe in the power of small, meaningful actions to make a big difference in the world.

Our designs are a reflection of who we are—bold, thoughtful, and timeless. We create lighting solutions that enhance spaces, improve acoustics, and bring people together. Whether through a custom-made lamp or one of our carefully curated finishes, we aim to inspire creativity, comfort, and connection.

We design and craft lighting that is sustainable, functional, and made to last.

At Weplight, our philosophy is built upon six fundamental pillars that guide every aspect of our work:

Teamwork

We believe that great design is the result of collaboration. Every lamp we create is the product of a dedicated team working together with passion and expertise.

Attention to Detail

Precision and care define our craftsmanship. From the selection of materials to the final touches, every step is taken with meticulous attention to detail.

Respect for Materials

We value the natural beauty of the materials we work with, ensuring they are used thoughtfully and responsibly. Our commitment to sustainability starts with honoring each material’s unique qualities.

The Value of Craftsmanship

Our lamps are made by hand, combining traditional techniques with innovation. We embrace the artisanal process to create lighting that is both unique and high quality.

Sustainability

We are dedicated to minimizing waste, using responsibly sourced materials, and making environmentally conscious design decisions that contribute to a better future.

Customer First

Our designs are created with the end user in mind. We prioritize functionality, beauty, and adaptability to ensure our products enhance every space they illuminate. Plus, we stand behind our work , guaranteeing the durability and quality of our lamps.
