ABOUT VOLKER HAUG
Volker Haug Studio is a decorative lighting practice based in Melbourne. A skilled team of designers and makers work to create lighting informed by a sense of discovery and experimentation. With a focus on pared back, immaculate designs filled with a sense of playfulness and individuality, the studio has established a tradition of producing elegant, finely detailed pieces.
Designed to stand the test of time, each piece is made to order and customisable. In addition to the decorative ranges, the design team collaborate on site-specific projects and limited editions. The studio's work features in projects by internationally renowned architects and designers.
VOLKER HAUG DESIGN
The Studio adopts a spirited design approach that engages with the curiosity of the viewer to produce a decorative lighting range that is at once playful and functional, sculptural and surprising. Working with metals, stone, ceramic and glass, each of our lights is assembled and finished by hand in our workshop.
Metal is the primary material of choice, and its treatment is the cornerstone of their design process. Precision machining is combined with hand finishing during production to retain a connection between the material and the designer. The end product is haptic and enticing to touch.
The allusions to industrialism are apparent but are lightened by a preference for simple form and design economy. Their lights strive to evoke a sense of whimsy while adhering to the concepts of proportion and balance. The Volker Haug signature of placing the lamp at the forefront of the design has remained a constant part of the composition. The studio creates each piece to the exact requirements of the space it will be placed in, ensuring its longevity. Each piece is assembled and finished by hand, maintaining its high-quality standards.
